Even if A Star is Born didn't sweep the Oscars the way people might have hoped it would, we can't deny that Lady Gaga had an incredible night.
From her Audrey Hepburn-inspired glam to the steaming performance with Bradley Cooper, all eyes were on her. Then, alongside co-writers Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando, and Andrew Wyatt, she won Best Original Song for "Shallow."
You didn't have to look far to find people complaining that she's overrated or that they just don't get her.
Many people seem to think that her crazy fashion choices or her style of music means that she's all show and no talent.
But somewhere in late 2013, around the release of her less critically acclaimed third album ARTPOP, people seemed to be losing interest in her music and her increasingly oddball fashion choices.
Let's be real here, the wigs were getting really bad.
People began to see her shtick as desperation, predicting the end of her popularity.
But they had to check themselves when her next album was a collaboration with Tony Bennett, Cheek to Cheek, which showcased Gaga's talent outside the bells and whistles of modern dance pop.
She starred in two seasons of American Horror Story, even earning a Golden Globe for it. Then she paired a spectacular Super Bowl Halftime show with the release of her fourth album, Joanne.
With the release of A Star is Born and the praise for both her performance and the song "Shallow," there are no longer any questions about her growing stardom.
All the way back to college, people were doubting her, as the discovery of a Facebook group literally called "Stefani Germanotta, you will never be famous" proved.
Though it's funny to see that the group only had 12 members, it's still a form of cyberbullying that could have made someone else give up on their dreams.
The original bullies seem to be feeling a bit guilty over the whole thing too, since it only took a few hours of viral fame for the group to disappear from Facebook.
Presumably, these are just jokers trying to have some fun. A whole 30 of them as of this writing.
Not sure what their definition of "soon" is, but it's been almost six months since that last post.
Also, the Page's username is @YouWillNeverBeFamousSATAN, which is a bit much.
What are a dozen college haters and their copycats compared to being the first woman in history to win an Oscar, Grammy, BAFTA, and Golden Globe all in the same awards season. Not to mention the mountain of awards she's won previously.
Whether it's schoolyard bullies or mainstream media, just because people are doubting you doesn't mean you can't do it.
Haters gonna hate, so you do you and keep on proving them wrong.
