Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney Attend Church, and Praise Local Singer
Lady Gaga is used to getting accolades and praises from her fans. But on Sunday morning, the "Artpop" singer was the one to give her compliments to a local church singer in Pennsylvania.
The singer was in Pennsylvania to visit her boyfriend, Taylor Kinney, and his family. The pair attended a church service at Grandview Methodist Church in Manheim Township as one of Kinney's relatives was having a baptism there. Shortly before 10 a.m., worshippers were surprised to see the singer and the "Chicago Fire" actor step into the church.
The singer was dressed in a modest white dress with a pearl necklace used as a hair accessory, while Kinney was garbed in a blue button down shirt and black blazer. Lady Gaga was also seen taking pictures and videos of the service.

One local who was excited to see the stars at the church was church choir member Liz Fulmer, who sang her original song "He is Coming" at the service. Fulmer is part of the church's Celebration Team leadership and her job was to play upbeat music for the service.
According to Lancaster Online, Fulmer reportedly had the jitters when she learned that Gaga—whose real name is Stefani Germanotta—would be attending the 10am service.
"I'm a huge fan," said Fulmer to the site, "so I calmed down, then went to my spot." She also said that before singing, she told her friends on Facebook that she was nervous about singing in front of the singer and wrote, "Send prayers, please."
Afterwards, the site reports that Gaga was impressed with the performance and wanted to speak with Fulmer. Kinney was able to track down her number, and the singer texted Fulmer, "Hi Liz, it's Gaga. You were sensational. Keep up the amazing work."
Fulmer added that Gaga said that she would give her advice if she needed it. "She's a songwriter at heart. It was all very serendipitous for me. I really am a huge fan," said Fulmer.
