Lady Gaga's sixth studio album, Chromatica, dropped last May in the thick of the worldwide pandemic lockdown, so most of us monsters had to be satisfied with flailing around wildly in our bedrooms to "Rain On Me." But eight months after it's release, some gays whose countries actually set up appropriate quarantine measures and are now COVID-free are finally dancing in the clubs to the record.
A video of clubgoers dancing to Gaga's "Replay" has gone viral after Mother Monster shared it on Twitter.
"GOODBYE COVID, HELLO DANCING," the popstar tweeted. "Happy for Australia! Praying for the rest of the world that we all can be dancing together soon."

Those of us outside of Australia are...a little bitter, to say the least.
"This hurts," one commenter wrote.
"I can't wait to dance it in a party," said another. "Imagining people in my mind [is] getting hard."

We American gays, and many others around the world, are impatiently awaiting an era where we can dance freely to Gaga once more, but until then we'll just pop a 911 or... something.
