Gaga Daily Founder Jailed for Belarus Protests

Summary
- Fan account founder imprisoned for Belarus protests.
- He ran Lady Gaga's biggest fan page for 15 years.
- Discovered Gaga's new song while incarcerated.
The founder of the prominent Lady Gaga fan account, Gaga Daily, has emerged after a period of silence to reveal he was imprisoned in Belarus. Kirill Nguyen, who launched the fan page at 14 and managed it solo for over 15 years, was jailed for his involvement in protests against President Alexander Lukashenko.
Nguyen's account, with over four million followers, was praised by Lady Gaga herself. While serving a sentence for political activism, Nguyen found a moment of connection to his fandom when he heard Lady Gaga's new single, 'Abracadabra,' on prison radio in early 2025. This event occurred in early 2025 while he was still incarcerated.
His story highlights the intersection of pop culture fandom and political dissent in Belarus. Nguyen's experience underscores how art and community can provide solace even in challenging circumstances. He has since been released and is rebuilding his life, reconnecting with the Gaga Daily community.
