Social media posts reflected widespread fan excitement, with fans congratulating Gaga and noting her new “EGO” status.

The HOLD MY HAND performance, previously nominated for an Academy Award and a Satellite Award for Best Original Song, further amplified her reputation as a versatile artiste capable of delivering culturally significant moments.
Fans expressed pride in her achievement, with some highlighting the performance’s emotional weight and others speculating on her potential to complete the EGOT with a future Tony Award.
