If ever there were a picture worth a thousand words

Embracing as the ball dropped, the Grammy winner wore a sequined mask and hizzoner donned a sweater embroidered with the American flag. U-S-A! U-S-A!

Bloomberg officially chose Gaga as his “ball drop partner” a few days prior to the event. For the star, the whole experience of NYC on NYE was very emotional.

“I can’t even quite describe what tonight felt like,” Gaga, who grew up on the city’s Upper West Side, Tweeted. “Sort of poetic madness. A dream come true.”

We’re guessing she meant the night overall, not just kissing Bloomy. Although you never know, the charming 69-year-old does look handsome in that sweater.
