“I pray that tomorrow will be a day of peace for all Americans,” she wrote. “A day of love, not of hate. A day of acceptance, not of fear. A day of dreaming of our future joy as a country. A non-violent dream, a dream that gives security to our souls. Love, from the Capitol. “

Some did a little computer editing to make Gaga’s photos look even more like they were taken in a galaxy far, far away. “Star Wars: Lady Gaga / The Fempire Strikes Back,” wrote one.
And some thought that her outfit looked like a fantasy from another pop culture saga, namely, The Hunger Games.
“This is literally the first thing that came to mind,” wrote a Twitter user. “All the events on Capitol made me watch the Hunger Games series again recently.”
