Lady Gaga Attends Obama Fundraising Event

Lady Gaga was among the guests at a $35,800 per couple Obama fundraiser tonight at the home of Facebook’s Chief Operating Officer Cheryl Sandberg and David Goldberg in Atherton, Calif.
At the event, which took place under a tent in Sandberg’s yard, Gaga reportedly wore a black dress scalloped high plunge back and high heels. Her blond hair was upswept, with black flowers and black veil sweeping down back of hair.
Gaga’s attendance at the fundraising event comes after the singer tweeted that she would be meeting the President, and intended to discuss youth bullying in relation to the suicide of Jamey Rodemeyer, the 14-year-old student who took his own life last week after years of bullying.
“I am meeting with our President. I will not stop fighting. This must end. Our generation has the power to end it. Trend it #MakeALawForJamey,” the singer posted to twitter.
Gaga dedicated the song “Hair” to Rodemeyer at the iHeartRadio Festival this weekend in Las Vegas. The performance included a video tribute to Rodemeyer.
Earlier this week the pop singer, who Rodemeyer idolized, spoke out about the situation via twitter: “The past days I’ve spent reflecting, crying, and yelling. I have so much anger. It is hard to feel love when cruelty takes someones life.”
She added, “Bullying must become illegal. It is a hate crime.”
Rodemeyer took his life on September 18. In his final Twitter message he referenced Lady Gaga, writing “thank you for all you have done.”
It is unclear whether Gaga and Obama were able to meet at the event.
