Lady Gaga Slams 'Pretentious' NME

Lady Gaga has hit out at NME magazine for branding her 'Born This Way' album as 'pretentious'.

The singer took to twitter to vent her anger at the publication after they named her 2011 effort as the most pretentious record ever made. 

Gagfa tweeted: "Oh the irony of winning "Most Pretentious Album Ever" from none other than NME. *eyeroll* I might laugh forever + then return to narcissism."

Her album beat the likes of  Lou Reed and Metallica's Lulu and Kiss's 1981 album 'Music From 'The Elder'.

The blog has now sparked a mix reaction amongst fans of the singer and readers of the magazine - due the 8/10 album review 'Born This Way' received.

Lady Gaga has added extra dates to her forthcoming 'Born This Way Ball' tour, set to take place later this year.

The singer has revealed that her world tour will span 110 dates which is fewer than previously expected.

More details of how to purchase tickets will be released in the coming weeks.
