\n\tThey were born to express themselves.\u00a0And over the course of a yearslong feud with one another, Lady Gaga and Madonna did exactly that.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2011, a disagreement between two of pop\u2019s biggest stars began when Gaga released her LGBTQ+ anthem \u201cBorn This Way.\u201d Madonna fans were quick to point out the track\u2019s melodic and lyrical similarities to Madonna\u2019s 1989 classic \u201cExpress Yourself.\u201d It didn\u2019t take long for Madge herself to join in on the conversation, with the Queen of Pop going on public record the next year and calling \u201cBorn This Way\u201d \u201creductive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd thus, years of public rivalry between the two was ignited.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut everything is not what it seems \u2014 not even clear and publicly made digs lobbed at one another. In the years following the OG disagreement, Lady Gaga and Madonna have gone on to both throw a few verbal punches at one another and extend olive branches to their rival. Like most petty disagreements \u2014especially ones clearly stoked by the drama-driven celebrity gossip machine \u2014 the feud between the two artists eventually calmed down. Seven years after it began, the drama was officially declared dead when the stars posed for a pic together at Madonna\u2019s exclusive Oscars afterparty in 2018.<\/p>\n

\n\tNow, 15 years after the initial dispute, Lady Gaga and Madonna are rumored to be collaborating on a new song for the Devil Wears Prada 2<\/em> soundtrack. While we don\u2019t know the truth yet, we do<\/em> know that Gaga (with Doechii) is featured on the soundtrack with the original song \u201cRunway\u201d and Madonna\u2019s 1990 smash \u201cVogue\u201d appeared in the original movie and has soundtracked much of the sequel\u2019s pre-release promo.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs we impatiently await to see if a collaboration is real or just another rumor added to all the gossip surrounding these two pop legends, Billboard<\/em> is taking a looking back at the timeline of Lady Gaga and Madonna\u2019s relationship.<\/p>\n
