A Star is Born finally hit theaters on October 5 and everyone is stunned. People crammed into theaters all over the country to watch Lady Gaga shine as aspiring songwriter Ally. (Sure, Bradley Cooper was in it, too. And directed it. And sang in it, whatever.) Gaga wrote and performed much of the soundtrack, and delivers an incredible performance as a musician on the rise. It's so much Gaga goodness that my feelings about it can only really be expressed in GIFs featuring Mother Monster herself.
Here's every thought and feeling I had while watching A Star Is Born, rendered in the only appropriate medium.
When you're waiting for Gaga while they're setting up the whole Jackson Maine storyline...
When Gaga somehow makes a cater waiter uniform look couture...
When Ally performs "La Vie En Rose" at a drag bar with some of our RuPaul's Drag Race faves...
When Ally teases us with the hook from "Shallow" in a supermarket parking lot...
Wait, is that Andrew Dice Clay?!
When Ally takes the stage with Jackson for the first time...
"Watch as I dive in, I'll never meet the ground..."
When Ally and Jackson head out on tour together...
When they have an impromptu wedding the same day Ally threatened to leave him...
When Ally got new hair...
JK. But really, Ally's new hair...
"Why'd you come around me with an ass like that..."
When Jackson says the one thing that would hurt Ally the most...
When Ally wins the Grammy...
...and Jackson ruins her moment...
When Jackson gets the help he needs but we know the worst is yet to come...
When Ally performs "I'll Never Love Again"...
When you have to go out in public after ugly crying for the last 20 minutes of the movie...
When you realize Gaga's role was offered to Beyoncé first, but everything worked out the way it needed to...
