It's clear that the Lady Gaga - Bradley Cooper/ Ally-Jackson Maine ship isn't going to sink anytime soon — especially that seriously hot Oscars performance of "Shallow." It was such a great number, that even after the two stepped off the stage, the sea of stars that was their audience gave them a standing ovation.
Something major just happened. After “Shallow” perf, @ladygaga & Bradley Cooper exited stage for commercial break. During break, they came back to their seats from stage then audience gave them another standing o. I’ve never seen that happen for any performers. Cue embrace#Oscars pic.twitter.com/k9wNh66tn1

Beyond their incredible vocals and their sweet sweet chemistry, the sexual tension between the co-stars is seriously too much for stans to handle. The collective Internet is going nuts over the whole thing, especially the moment Bradley moves to sit beside Gaga on the piano, and their faces are basically a centimeter apart. And thanks to the 2019 Academy Awards, we've been given the gift of the thirstiest tweets from Little Monsters and Mini Coopers everywhere.
Here are some of our favorites:

The look Lady Gaga gave to Bradley Cooper at the end of that performance was the live version of Nala looking at Simba in Lion King. She gonna feel the love tonight. #oscars pic.twitter.com/Y5aabH5LWe

I’m officially accepting Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper into the lesbian canon due to their exceptional displays of yearning. Yearning is—and I can’t stress this enough—canonically lesbian.
