Thanks to all who took last month's poll which asked:
Do you think CAP21 Alumni Lady Gaga should marry Taylor Kinney?
And the answer is...
17% Yes! And they should have lots of little "Monsters"!
0% No...Being married to "Gaga" would be way too strange...
83% Who's Taylor Kinney??
Thank you all for your response! Since so many of you weren't sure who Taylor Kinney is, here you go....
