The moment instantly became a meme. Like this one which depicted Gaga as a villain sending for her arch nemesis.

There’s also this hilarious reference to her memorable “There could be 100 people in the room” speech from her promo tour for A Star Is Born movie.

Like this one comparing Gaga to Game Of Thrones’ Daenerys Targaryen.

"You have been slaves all your life.  Today I give you freedom. Any man who wishes to leave may leave, and no one will harm him. I give you my word. Will you fight for me? As free men?"
