Lady Gaga Lands Endorsement Deal for Tea

Earlier this year, not a day went by that Lady Gaga did not spend with her favorite teacup and saucer – in public. The singer developed a strong fancy both for her latest “accessory” and for the beverage in it, namely tea. In fact, Gaga became so fond of tea that a legendary British brand has already approached her with an offer to endorse tea. The Sun is reporting Gaga is thisclose to saying yes.

According to the tabloid, the singer is constantly assaulted by offers to endorse all kinds of products but her heart is set on going on board with the tea company. Of course, being offered a multi-million pound contract may have also contributed to her saying yes, the tab hints, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t love Twinings tea or anything. Right now, says a well-knowing source, the company is brainstorming for the upcoming campaign, which, if it will really come to happen, will probably be an outrageous affair, like all things Gaga does.

“Her management have received a load of offers from major tea companies but Twinings are the front-runners. They want to launch a new tea with her face on it and discussions are taking place at the top level. Names like The Taste of Gaga are being batted about. The idea is to have tasting sessions in which she would participate. The tasters are coming up with a tea with an oriental flavor. They want to market tea to a new, younger generation – particularly in America, and Gaga is making drinking tea cool again,” the spy reveals for The Sun.

If it hadn’t been for her love for tea, Gaga would have probably never said yes to this. “Elton John presented her with one of his priceless vintage teapots as a thank-you for performing at his White Tie And Tiara Ball last month. But it was her appearance on Jonathan Ross’ BBC1 show last year which made people much more aware of her obsession with the brew. She brought her own cup and saucer on to the show and sipped ginger tea throughout the interview,” the British publication says of how Gaga first became acquainted with tea.

Other offers for endorsements include fashion items (of course) and, just recently, her own fragrance, which Gaga turned down, The Sun goes on to say. However, should she agree to become the face of a tea brand, perhaps not few will be those accusing her of being a sell-out, at least around the blogosphere.
