Gaga $1M GOP offer, Pop superstar Lady Gaga rejected a $1 million offer to give presidential candidate Mitt Romney a big boost in the run-up to the election last year by performing at the Republican National Convention.
Court documents unveiled this week reveal that the singer had been approached by organizers of the Republican Party's pre-election gathering to hit the stage at the Tampa, Fla., event, even though she's one of the most outspoken gay rights advocates and a fan of Romney's Democratic rival Barack Obama.
Representatives at the American Action Network, the group behind the convention, even tried to sway Gaga by offering to donate $150,000 to a domestic violence shelter in exchange for her participation.
The details emerged in legal papers submitted to the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. as part of a legal battle between the American Action Network and entertainment vendor Cater America over a scrapped Lynyrd Skynyrd concert, which was axed ahead of the RNC due to the threat of Hurricane Isaac in late August.
