Lady Gaga called Melania Trump a hypocrite on Sunday for supporting her husband Donald Trump while pledging to stand against cyber bullying as first lady.
The pop star tweeted: '.@MELANIATRUMP to say u will stand for "anti-bullying" is hypocrisy. Your husband is 1 of the most notorious bullies we have ever witnessed'
The Born This Way hit-maker also urged her devoted fans to mobilize behind Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, while referring to Trump as a 'dangerous man'.
Lady Gaga's message was even clear in an outfit she wore as she stepped out in Tokyo, Japan.
The costume harked back to the suffragettes with a large 'VOTE' badge on her hat and a discarded corset pinned to the back of her skirt.

In a flurry of tweets on Sunday, Gaga rallied her fans, who are often referred to as 'monsters', urging them to vote for Clinton.
'#MinnesotaMonsters mobilize! RT Our republican candidate is a reality star leveraging our country for his own business. #Vote for honesty,' she tweeted.
Posting a photo alongside an absentee ballot envelope, Lady Gaga also wrote: '@realDonaldTrump you divided us with hateful language & fear . I love everyone in this country and I vote for @HillaryClinton to unite us.'
Lady Gaga also took shots at Melania, who appeared in Pennsylvania to announce her goal to make social media safer for young people as the country's first lady.
In the brief speech on Thursday, Melania said: 'Technology has changed our universe. But like anything that is powerful, it can have a bad side.
'Children and teenagers can be fragile. They are hurt when they are made fun of or made to feel less in looks or intelligence.
'This makes their life hard and can force them to hide and retreat... It is never OK when a 12-year-old girl or boy is mocked, bullied, or attacked.
'It is terrible when that happens on the playground. And it is absolutely unacceptable when it is done by someone with no name hiding on the internet.'
Trump, who is known for lashing out at his critics through his Twitter account, has come under fire throughout his campaign for grave missteps like mocking a disabled reporter, or making unprovoked attacks on Carly Fiorina's face.
Lady Gaga, who is promoting her new album Joanne, also appeared on a talk show in Japan to express her views that Trump is 'an actor, and that this is an act'.
She elaborated, saying: 'We are standing with Hillary not just because she is far superior as the choice for president, but we're also standing with her because it would be a complete disaster to elect someone who is essentially a political impostor.'
Lady Gaga's outfit also made quite the statement when she appeared at Narita International Airport on Sunday morning in what appears to be a sartorial nod to the suffragettes with hints of her current country look mixed in.
With a feathered cap, a large 'vote' badge on her hat, and tulle layered top and skirt, the pop diva drove her point home with a corset trailing behind her.
An image of her own outfit on Snapchat was captioned, 'Corsets off ladies!!!!' which many quickly noted was a reference to the work of writer and feminist Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
Gilman envisioned a world where women cast off their corsets, a metaphor she used at the turn of the century for constraining gender roles that she said could easily go unnoticed by those who had become numb to the feeling.
