Born This Way

We all love a good Starbucks collab, and this one pairs one of our favourite celebrities with our need for caffeine. 

Lady Gaga has partnered up with Starbucks to create set of vibrant, fruity drinks to raise money for the singer’s foundation.

According to Starbucks, 25 cent from every purchase will be donated to Gaga’s Born This Way charity.

Funds raised will go toward programmes that support youth wellness and empowerment by fostering kindness, improving mental health resources, and creating more positive environments.

'We’re healthier and happier when we live our lives with compassion and our communities are stronger when we treat one another with generosity and respect,' said Lady Gaga.

'Born This Way Foundation and I are so excited to partner with Starbucks to help inspire positivity and love through the Cups of Kindness collection.'

Unfortunately, Gaga's collab is Stateside only, which is a pity because we're loving the sound of the new drinks. 

There's the Violet Drink. which blends blackberries and hibiscus with coconut milk and ice, and a new Matcha Lemonade which combines matcha green tea with lemonade. 

These new Gaga-esque beverages will be served alongside menu classics like the Pink Drink and the Ombre Drink in the charitable line-up.

Let It Shine viewers were left fuming over the weekend after the BBC One programme omitted particular lines of a Lady Gaga track which Iron Sun performed on Saturday night.

Taking to the stage with Born This Way, the band left the audience at home reeling when they paused mid-track, and ultimately left out lyrics pertaining to be gay and transgender.

"Don't be a drag, just be a queen" and "No matter gay, straight, or bi, lesbian, transgendered life. I’m on the right track baby. I was born to survive” did not make it to the live performance, and Twitter was far from happy.

"@BBC how dare you butcher #BornThisWay on #letitshine, removing the lyrics from the song that give it its meaning and power. SHAME ON YOU!" wrote one furious Twitter user.

"#letitshine how can you sing born this way without mentioning anything about equality and diversity ??? It's the point of the song," added another.

Responding to criticism, a spokesperson for the BBC show insisted that the nature of the lyrics were inconsequential, saying: "All songs featured on the show were cut for time only."
