A video of an awkward interaction between Lady Gaga and Caitlyn Jenner has gone viral recently after fans said it looks as though the whole thing is just a little shady, with Gaga brushing off Jenner and quickly moving on.
The video shows the pair bumping into one another at Elton John's AIDS Foundation's 30th Annual Academy Awards Viewing Party in West Hollywood. Both attended the event, with Gaga accompanying Elton's husband David Furnish along her godchildren, David and Elton's sons Zachary and Elijah, while Elton was away touring.
While the foursome walking the red carpet was a pretty adorable moment for fans, the most talked about part of Gaga's appearance was her bizarre interaction with Caitlyn Jenner on the way into the event.

In a now viral clip the pair can be seen awkwardly chatting with Jenner asking Gaga, "Are you spending time around Malibu anymore?" to which Gaga simply responds, "Yes."
At this point things get more uncomfortable. Jenner says, "I haven't seen you at the Starbucks in a while," and Gaga replies, "Well, I've — I've switched baristas," before moving on with her entourage.
If you think this sounds a little uncomfortable, you're not the only one. Fans quickly flooded Twitter with general commentary on the whole thing, with some calling out Gaga for being shady while others defended the singer.
Some fans theorised that Gaga's seemingly curt response to Jenner's questions is down to the KUWTK star's well-known political and social views. Gaga is a long-standing Democrat and a famous supporter and ally of the LGBTQ+ community, while Jenner has been actively involved in Republican politics and has previously expressed views on the LGBTQ+ community that would certainly get us to switch baristas too.
