Lady Gaga accidentally crashed an Italian press conference about the coronavirus.
The Regione Liguria council’s coronavirus commission was wrapping up a somber public information meeting at the Sala della Transparenza in Genoa, Italy when Gaga’s new song “Stupid Love” suddenly began blaring from someone’s phone.
The moment was witnessed by roughly 40,000 people who were watching the press conference on Facebook Live and quickly went viral.
