Lady Gaga Spills the Tea on Gay Anthem ‘Poker Face’

Lady Gaga has just revealed a fun fact about her iconic hit “Poker Face”—it has a hidden, super gay meaning!

During her Jazz & Piano residency in Las Vegas, the pop superstar sat behind her piano and teased the audience with a revelation. Before launching into the 2008 chart-topping song, Gaga said, “I bet you didn’t know this song was about having sex with men and thinking about women,” sending the crowd into a frenzy. She added with a smirk, “Now that’s my kind of poker face.”

The Lyrics’ Hidden Message

Poker Face has always been a fan favorite with its catchy gambling-themed lyrics. But now, those lines like, “Can’t read my, can’t read my/ No, he can’t read my poker face/ (She’s got me like nobody),” take on a whole new meaning. Gaga encouraged the audience to sing along, cheekily adding, “Come on, sing along, I know you’ve done it” – referring to thinking about women while with men.

Gaga’s Bisexual Anthem

This isn’t the first time Lady Gaga has spoken about the bisexual undertones in Poker Face. In 2009, she told Jonathan Ross she’d “think about women” while “having sex with her boyfriend.” She officially dubbed the song an “ode to bisexuality” in 2021.

Gaga proudly came out as bisexual in 2013. At a release party for her album Artpop, she declared, “You know what? It’s not a lie that I am bisexual and I like women, and anyone that wants to twist this into ‘she says she’s bisexual for marketing,’ this is a f**king lie. This is who I am and who I have always been.”

Gaga’s Recent Highlights

Lady Gaga has been busy not only teasing queer meanings in her songs but also performing at the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony. Plus, she’s set to star opposite Joaquin Phoenix in the highly anticipated Joker sequel, Folie à Deux.

So next time you jam out to Poker Face, remember it’s not just a pop banger – it’s a celebration of bisexuality. Lady Gaga continues to be an icon for the LGBTQ+ community, reminding us all to embrace our true selves, poker face and all!
