This month marks the eight-year anniversary of when Lady Gaga and Beyoncé first released the music video for their 2010 hit "Telephone."
For those of you who lived under a huge, damp rock with no internet connection during that time, "Telephone" was an epic, 10-minute-long extravaganza where Gaga and Beyoncé played a modern day Thelma and Louise (you know, if Thelma and Louise wore couture and drove a bright yellow "Pussy Wagon" truck), poisoning fuckbois and running away from the law.
While it wasn't the first time they had worked with each other (the equally-fabulous "Video Phone" was released a few months prior to "Telephone" in 2009), two reigning pop queens coming together for a collaboration of this magnitude was something that the world had rarely seen before—and people lived for it.
"Telephone" reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 that year, and it's safe to say that it was one of the more memorable and instantly-iconic moments in both Gaga and Bey's early careers.
Sadly, we haven't heard anything about a follow-up to "Telephone" since then. (You'll recall that at the end of the video, a cryptic "To be continued..." message plays before fading out to the credits.) Well it's been a long, long, long eight years since "Telephone" was released, and eager fans are still desperately holding out hope for a "Telephone" Part 2...

Will the world ever be blessed with another Mother Monster x Queen Bey collab? With Gaga starting a Las Vegas residency soon and Beyoncé embarking on another world tour with her husband, the chances aren't great.
But it doesn't hurt to dream, right?? RIGHT??! *sigh* At least we have old memories to look back on...
