Here's why fans are CONVINCED Beyoncé & Lady Gaga are finally releasing that 'Telephone' sequel

Despite this, no sequel was ever made. And the lack of a “Telephone pt. 2” of some sort has haunted fans of both artists for over a decade now.

It's also frequently resulted in rumors that perhaps the track is finally happening — rumors that were reignited with the announcement of Cowboy Carter and the promise of collaborations. For the most part, this initially seemed like just more wishful thinking. But as we draw closer, fans have actually found some things that make it seem worth considering the possibility that the time has finally come.

Could this be it? Could we really be entering the long-awaited payoff era to the “Telephone” music video?

Some fans are screaming and crying with hope, while others have been down this path too many times to keep on believing it will ever happen.

For now, all we can do is wait. Fortunately, that's something Gaga fans are already accustomed to doing when it comes to new music.
