Lady Gaga has told her fellow Americans every one of their votes “will be counted and will matter” as the nation awaits the results of the election.
The singer, real name Stefani Germanotta, posted a message to her Twitter followers as America awaited the outcome in a handful of battleground states.
While some mail-in ballots continue to be counted, President Donald Trump has said he will go to the Supreme Court to get vote counting stopped and thwart Democratic contender Joe Biden.
Every single vote in this country matters, will be counted and will matter! It is the emblem of our democracy! I have so much faith in the human spirit! We’ve got this America! Sending EVERYONE A BIG HUG!

Gaga, who has endorsed Mr Biden, sent a message of support to her 82.4 million followers.
She said: “Every single vote in this country matters, will be counted and will matter! It is the emblem of our democracy!
“I have so much faith in the human spirit! We’ve got this America! Sending EVERYONE A BIG HUG!”
Before the polls closed, Gaga appeared at a rally in Pittsburgh for Mr Biden.
Kind of terribly sad how close this election was. After this year and especially this summer it should’ve been a landslide. I don’t get it. Truly.
