After 14 years of speculation and anticipation, Lady Gaga has finally confirmed that a sequel to her 2010 hit song Telephone is in the works. The 38-year-old pop icon revealed the news during a Vanity Fair Lie Detector interview, thrilling fans who have long waited for a continuation of the song’s dramatic storyline.
Telephone, which featured Beyoncé, was released as part of Gaga’s The Fame Monster EP and became one of the biggest hits of 2010. The track was originally written for Britney Spears, but after she passed on it, Gaga recorded it herself, turning it into a club anthem. The accompanying music video, an elaborate cinematic production, ended with a cliffhanger and the words “To be continued…,” sparking endless fan theories about a follow up.
Now, over a decade later, Gaga has confirmed that something is indeed in the works. When asked directly in the Lie Detector interview whether a sequel was coming, she answered with a simple but firm, “Yes.” However, she remained tight-lipped about details, including whether Beyoncé would be involved again. When pressed about the possibility of Queen Bey joining her for the new project, Gaga responded coyly, “Maybe.”
Despite the secrecy, one thing is clear: scheduling conflicts are not a barrier. Gaga confirmed that time constraints are not an issue, which leaves fans wondering whether the delay was due to creative planning or industry logistics.
The original Telephone music video, directed by Jonas Åkerlund, was an over-the-top visual spectacle that followed Gaga’s character as she was bailed out of prison by Beyoncé’s character, Honey Bee. The two then embarked on a Thelma & Louise-style crime spree, poisoning a diner full of people before escaping into the desert. The cinematic approach left fans eager for a sequel, and Gaga has hinted at continuing the story in previous interviews.
While details remain scarce, the confirmation that Telephone will finally get a follow-up has ignited excitement across social media. Fans are already speculating about potential concepts, visual themes, and whether Gaga and Beyoncé will reunite for another iconic collaboration.
With Gaga currently balancing multiple projects, including her film career and music ventures, it remains to be seen when the Telephone sequel will be released. However, after 14 years of waiting, fans can rest assured that the long-promised continuation is finally on the horizon.
