In a night to remember (or perhaps forget), Rosé recently tried to reach Bruno Mars midway through Lady Gaga's 'Die With A Smile' concert. The song was released by Lady Gaga late last year in collaboration with Bruno Mars and was an instant hit. Things took a funny turn when Rosé, for reasons known only to her, decided to embark on a mission to reach Bruno Mars during the concert.
It did not end well for her, as videos of her trying to FaceTime the Uptown Funk-famed star went viral.
Bruno Mars doesn't pick up Rosé's call, incident sends internet into raptures
When Lady Gaga was giving an electrifying performance on stage and the lights were at their brightest, Rosé decided to FaceTime Bruno Mars while at the concert. Surprisingly, he did not pick up the call- the bell rang and rang, but no answer! The reaction to this, of course, was captured by the internet in Rosé's livestream.
As soon as the news came out, netizens went wild with speculation on why Bruno didn't pick up the call. These theories ranged from the plausible to downright absurd as fans tried their hands at decoding the mystery:
"I am afraid Bruno is already sleeping lol", joked one fan (via X / @yunaspike143)
"He’s busy in casino", quipped another (via X / @thetasteofmars)
"He was SNORING at his house while we thought he’d be on stage with her", another fan chimed in (via X / @scott_wiggle)
The incident captured the imagination of the world as the snub was aired (pun not intended) everywhere. The aftermath of the event was hilarious as fans mocked her for trying to FaceTime Bruno in the middle of the concert. As she stood there waiting while mouthing the lyrics of Die With A Smile, each second must've felt painfully long.
The clip that went viral on X was only 20-odd seconds, but it must've felt like an eternity to her. Users on social media joined the conversation with their quips:
"She thinks they besties or something," mocked one fan (via X / @Bulletproofingg)
"Bruhhh and he never answered," trolled another (via X / @hdiltk7)
Another fan had the whole internet in stitches by comparing her situation to a struggling journalist:
"Lmaoo she on that investigative journalist grind"
While some fans reveled in the chaos, others looked for excuses to mock Rosé. However, some defended her.
"Doing god's work and trying to find out why he wasn't on stage!!", complimented a fan (via X / @JoannaRose)
To be fair to Rosé, Bruno Mars not picking up a call really does sound like something he would do. Maybe Bruno was really asleep, or maybe it was some sort of network issue, who knows? But kudos to the netizens who turned a simple incident into a comical masterpiece.
