Nothing is more on point than a child's unfiltered perspective, and famed music artist Lady Gaga was reminded of this when she received the brutally honest handwritten note from the six-year-old daughter of Elle writer Lotte Jeffs.
Jeffs wrote about the "Bad Romance" Grammy winner for the magazine's exclusive cover profile and posted photos of them together on Instagram.
The photo in the next slide featured the amused singer holding the hilarious note that was penned on The Londoner hotel stationery.
The unedited message was cropped at the bottom and read:
" Lady gaga say I like you but your not the besst and by the waye can I hare that song of yours sounds like your desperate to…"
Jeffs disclosed what the remaining message said, which was:
"…sounds like your desperate to show it to me."
Savage.
Here is the priceless shot with Gaga.

The internet got a kick out of the kid's mid assessment of Lady Gaga's music.
According to the writer's webpage, Jeffs lives in London with her wife, their young daughter, and two cats. She is currently juggling parenting with commercial work creating campaigns for various companies and penning her second novel to be developed for TV.
In the Elle feature, Jeffs addressed her daughter's note, writing:
“As a parent to a 6-year-old myself, I warn Gaga that kids will bring you down to earth with a thud."
"In fact, I go as far as to show her a note my daughter has written to the pop star on hearing that I will be interviewing her on Saturday afternoon, and not taking her to the toy shop as planned."
"‘Lady Gaga,’ it reads in pink pen. ‘I like you, but your [sic] not the best.’"
"Yep, I say, kids are endlessly humbling. Gaga thinks the note is hilarious. ‘Oh, I’m ready,’ she says, folding the scrap of paper and putting it in her jacket pocket for those moments, we laugh, when she’s getting too big for her boots."
Jeffs added:
"I’m so pleased Gaga has a great sense of humor — not least because that note could have really backfired otherwise.”
The award-winning writer and author said she met with Gaga in London at the Warner Music offices in Kings Cross and was treated to a preview of the singer's anticipated new album, Mayhem.
She mentioned how their "conversation flowed naturally" and they discussed a range of topics, from "the meaning of great art, to the colours she sees when making music, to the 'everyday poetry' of life with her partner Michael" as well as thoughts on the next four years under Republican President Donald Trump's second administration.
Jeffs added:
"It was an insane honour to be the only writer Lady Gaga shared her story with. I am thrilled she’s happy with it 🙏 and I hope her fans are too."
Mayhem will be Gaga's eighth studio album, and it is slated for a March 7, 2025 release.
We are as "desperate" as she is for us to finally hear it!
