This ^^ is a photo of Lady Gaga out and about in NYC yesterday, carefully hiding THAT ring finger. It’s like a siren call to paparazzi and tabloid editors alike: if you make a point of hiding your ring finger, that’s just an excuse for people to write about “engagement rumors.” Well, at least Gaga didn’t play that game for very long. Shortly after these photos were taken, she posted this on her Instagram:

He gave me his heart on Valentine’s Day, and I said YES!

Yes, Lady Gaga is engaged. Taylor Kinney proposed on Valentine’s Day and Gaga said yes. I know I should find all of this hopelessly cliché, getting engaged on V-Day and wearing a heart-shaped diamond and all of that… but for Gaga, it’s sort of refreshingly normal. I know I should hate her heart-shaped diamond too, but in my humble opinion, heart-shaped diamonds are always going to be prettier than pear-shaped diamonds. I never understood the appeal of pear-shaped diamonds. Diamond flame war!

Us Weekly says that Kinney did propose on V-Day and after Gaga said yes, they went out to eat at Joanna Trattoria, the Gaga-family eatery. Gaga has been dropping hints publicly about engagements, and I guess Taylor Kinney finally caught on. They’ve been together four years with surprisingly few scandals. I used to wonder what they were doing together but after all this time… eh. Whatever. They must make each other pretty happy.
