Gaga and Swift have been friends for almost a year. Last year, the "Applause" singer praised the former country star on "The Howard Stern Show."
"We met a few times, and I can't say anything bad about her," she said. "What she doesn't know [is] I was at the AMAs or something. Her and I were sitting next to each other and she goes, 'Oh my God! I love Artpop. I love Applause and Applause is my favorite song."
"I was thinking, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah. This chick is full of [expletive].' But then my buddy called me. Brandon, who's my stylist, and she was doing a shoot and he was styling her. He goes, 'Taylor Swift is in here blasting Artpop so loud, and she is dancing and posing.'"
"I thought to myself, 'I like this girl.' You know why? Because she said the same thing to my face that she said behind my back. Yeah, I like her."
