Lady Gaga is raising eyebrows and dividing opinion over an onstage kiss at her Las Vegas Enigma residency show over the weekend. In the viral video – which was originally shared to the Gaga Daily Twitter page – Gaga is sweetly singing to longtime friend and trumpet player Brian Newman.
Gaga can be seen serenading Newman while holding his hand before she sings the lyrics, “Darling, kiss me,” at which point, she leaned in and locked lips with him.

“I know they are friends since…. Forever,” one person wrote. “But Christ’s sake, he es [sic] married!!! GAGA should behave better.”
“Gaga could you STOPPPPP he’s married,” another Twitter user commented.
Others, however, came to her defence.
“It’s just a show! She knows how to work it!” one person commented. “It’s called acting….married people kiss others all the time in movies, plays, shows, etc. move on!”
Following the outrage, a source told Us Weekly that the stage kiss with Newman really wasn’t a big deal: “There is nothing to see here. Gaga is a performer, and it was a playful, harmless part of her act. She and Brian have had an incredible friendship for years and see each other as family.”
