Lady Gaga knew nothing about the alleged bomb plot at her concert or even in the immediate aftermath … ’cause TMZ has learned cops didn’t say anything to her — she found out from the media!
A rep for the singer-songwriter tells TMZ … the whole team learned of the alleged threat from news reports that surfaced this morning — prior to and during the show, they didn’t hear anything from the police or other authorities regarding potential risks.
So, Gaga didn’t get the chance to choose not to perform — ’cause she was sent out there without any knowledge of what might happen.
Her team does acknowledge they worked closely with law enforcement during the planning and execution of the concert … and, they were always confident about the safety measures in place. Still, it’s pretty surprising police didn’t think to notify the star in charge of the whole shindig.
