There Is a Real Ally Billboard in Los Angeles Right Now
Why did the ‘A Star is Born’ marketing team do that to me?
Few up-and-coming pop stars have captured the public's attention through heartfelt songwriting, raw talent and bright orange hair the way that Ally has. This rising artist first made waves when she made a surprise appearance onstage with washed-up (but still hot) rocker Jackson Maine, belting out a song she apparently wrote in front of thousands with, based on insider info, no rehearsal whatsoever. She's set to release her debut record and appear on Saturday Night Live imminently, and now even has a billboard in Los Angeles, right outside the Chateau Marmont. Allygators rise, your time is here!
Ok but seriously ... there's an actual Ally billboard in Los Angeles outside the Chateau Marmont. Seemingly erected this week, the billboard could be part of a buzz campaign now that we're firmly in awards season -- the Golden Globes are this Sunday, after all, and Gaga's nose, essentially the third lead of A Star Is Born, has never been more in demand.
All over Twitter, Allygators are losing their minds over the real-life structure, which had become a meme shortly after it appeared in A Star Is Born was released in October.
\u201cYup, they\u2019ve put up an Ally billboard outside the Chateau Marmont on the Sunset Strip. Same place it\u2019s supposed to be in A STAR IS BORN, albeit a little lower.\u201d— Kyle Buchanan (@Kyle Buchanan) 1546560228
\u201cALLY REALLY HAS A BILLBOARD OUTSIDE CHATEAU MARMONT RIGHT NOW \u201d— James Harness (@James Harness) 1546557114
YouTuber Tyler Oakley seemed to claim credit for the billboard, tweetting that his "boyfriend got a Tesla today but I refuse to let him outshine me getting an Ally Maine billboard on Sunset Boulevard today." Honestly, plausible.. He later clarified that he was not, in fact, behind it after all..
\u201cOMG NO IT WASN\u2019T ME WHO ~BOUGHT~ THE BILLBOARD LMAO!! I JUST MEAN IT WAS THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME TODAY!! OH MY GOD LMAO NOOOOOO LOL\u201d— tyler oakley (@tyler oakley) 1546574853
Whoever is behind the billboard, whether it's the A Star Is Born marketing team, Gaga herself or Jackson Maine's ghost trying to apologize for that "fucking ugly" comment, one thing is certain: "Hair Body Face" slaps hard.
