If you tuned into the Oscars last night, chances are you also woke up this morning with sore vocal chords after yelling "KISS! KISS!" at the TV screen during Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's performance. But as it turns out, the steamy, chemistry-filled performance of intense eye contact and surprisingly close proximity wasn't the only almost-kiss Gaga had last night.
Giphy
While the rest of us were watching the final 30 seconds of Gaga and Bradley singing "Shallow" on repeat, the Oscar-winning actress headed to Guy Oseary and Madonna's Oscar after party. It was there that the two pop music legends reunited, after years of feud rumors, for an epic photo shoot that was essentially the modern-day Madonna and Child.
During their iconic photo session, there was also a moment of intense face-to-face staring, which almost turned into Britney and Madonna 2.0. Were Madge and Mother Monster transferring their super powers to one another or were they about to make out? In the video clip, Gaga explained, "We were posing!" As you do.
The only thing that would've made this moment better would be if "Like a Prayer" were blasting in the background. In fact, if someone could please make that video edit, I think I've found my new religion.
Furthermore, give Gaga the Oscar for Best Kisses That Almost Were.
