"Taylor Swift will never": Internet draws comparison as Lady Gaga wins Sports Emmy, now one step away from EGOT status

Lady Gaga added a new honor to her list of achievements this week as she won her first Sports Emmy for her pre-Super Bowl performance of "Hold My Hand."

The performance was delivered on New Orleans’ Bourbon Street ahead of Super Bowl LIX. Lady Gaga paid tribute to the victims of a New Year's Eve terror attack and natural disasters. The win in the Outstanding Music Direction category has now placed Gaga one step closer to the EGOT status.

The internet was quick to weigh in on the news to celebrate Lady Gaga's latest achievement. Some users praised Gaga's continued success across the entertainment industry, while others poked fun at a rivalry by drawing comparisons to Taylor Swift, who is not yet close to EGOT. One such netizen declared:

"Mind u Taylor Swift will never reach EGOT status"

This year's ceremony took place on May 20, 2025, at Jazz at Lincoln Center's Frederick P. Rose Hall in New York City.
