Everyone just calm down. Madonna was just being Madonna during the recent Toronto stop of her Celebration Tour in which she mistakenly said, "Hello, Boston."

In social media footage going around of the flub, the Queen tried to recover from the moment by making a few jokes. She went on to explain that mixing up the two cities would be like mixing up her and Lady Gaga.

"Are you guys mad at me because I said 'hello Boston?'" she asked the crowd. "I'm sorry. What kind of f***ed-up s*** is that? That would be like if you guys were saying, 'Hey, Lady Gaga's playing tonight!'"

She clarified, "I wouldn't like that. I mean, you know, nothing against Lady Gaga. Love her. I do!" Then added, "I love anyone shorter than me."

Some took that last little quip as her attempting to reignite her feud with the Mother Monster. But others say it was all in good fun, and everyone needs to calm down.

Fans of both Madonna and Lady Gaga have claimed one is a ripoff of another. We say there is plenty of room in the world for more talented blondes.

What do you say?
