At the time of publication, Gaga’s most recent tweet was not about her accomplishment -- but about The Boss.

“Did ANYONE see SPRINGSTEEN on Fallon last night!!!” she wrote on March 3, the same day she hit 20 million. “Buy his new album. It is so genius it’s hard to even believe. Just mind-blowing.”
