Pop star Lady Gaga claims she has put on weight by eating meat during her stay in Austin, Texas, for the South by Southwest festival.
The 27-year-old singer, who has admitted her weight fluctuates because of her love of Italian food, has been gorging on barbecue food and meat during her stay in Austin, reported E! online.
"That's actually why I wore it because I am really fat right now because I have been eating BBQ. I had some at Stubb's because I am playing there and some Salt Lick too. Or any meat that I find on the street, I just eat," the singer said.
Gaga has been soaking up the atmosphere at the festival, where she will deliver the SXSW keynote speech with Fuse's John Norris.
