After Lady Gaga revealed info about her next music video which might involve her mermaid alter ego on Twitter, Katy Perry tweeted a photo of herself as a mermaid (and…planking?). It looks like things are getting fishy between the two pop starlets.
According to MTV, the Mother Monster had tweeted about her next music video for the fourth single from her latest album Born This Way and said that it may involve her mermaid alter ego “Yuyi” being “born” in the video.
Katy Perry then tweeted a photo of herself in full mermaid attire planking shortly after in front of a bridge prop and on a “sea” of shiny paper with surrounding starfish and seaweed decor. There has been no word on whether this was for Katy’s next music video or for a photo shoot.
While Gaga hasn’t commented on the photo, Gaga’s creative director Laurieann Gibson tweeted to her just hours after the photo was posted, “Proud of my artist #1 in the world…her vision & passion. even though they try to steal a tail there’s only 1 Mermaid, Swim On!!!”
Perhaps Gaga had first dibs on the mermaid idea since she first introduced alter ego “Yuyi” to fans via Twitter at the start of the summer and dressed as a mermaid for her performance on French TV show Le Grand Journal. There was also a rumor that there would be a mermaid theme for the video for her current single, ‘The Edge of Glory.’ Gaga later ditched that idea and told a Taiwanese talk show last week that “Yuyi” is “in incubation.”
Whether Lady Gaga or Katy Perry channeled Ariel first, both would for sure look amazing under the sea!
What do you think Lovelies?

Lmao, she’s a planking mermaid.
Anyways, who’s not stealing something from someone anymore? That’s how it is in the music industry. Hell, it’s easy to say they stole the idea from Disney..

its called borrowing & inspiring.
we’ll just see which song can hit&stay Top1 for longer!

Really… REALLY? Okay, I love me some Gaga, but neither of these artists can lay claim to mermaids in any substantial way. There have been mermaid themes in entertainment since there was entertainment, and that goes back to ancient history.

More than one person likes mermaids?
Unacceptable.

Maybe Gaga stole it from the new Pirates movie. Or The Little Mermaid. Or Odysseus. There’s mermaids in The Chronicles of Narnia…
Clearly, that Katy Perry is just an unoriginal bitch, because mermaids were all Lady Gaga’s idea.

Planking is not a good look.

The theme of ‘mermaids’ is so broad that the singers could take obvious different directions with it and still come out looking fabulous.

Interesting. First, both did aliens. Now, mermaids.
No, the mermaid idea is not an original one; it’s the timing that’s curious.

How can someone steal something thats been around for many many years?…… Also, planking is fucken retarded and wtf is the point in it? Seriously….
guest
Who cares? Lady Gaga is fking stupid anyways.

no one can steal any “mermaid idea” from anybody. really… it’s a mythical fairytale/story that EVERYONE knows and almost every little girl pretended to be while swimming in pools.
guest
katy hates gaga. Shes said it. Shes jealous. When “I kissed a girl” came out, Katy was the it girl. Since GaGa came, KAty’s taken a backseat. And she doesnt like it. She tries to steal her stuff. Born this way and ET? Forreal? PAW UP FOR MAMMA MONSTER <3

That’s very true that no one can steal the idea because its very old and original idea any common girl can think.
