Latte lovers hoping to score a free Starbucks drink are now sounding the alarm about a suspicious promotion that's been making the rounds

on Twitter.

On Tuesday, Lady Gaga announced that she would be releasing a music video for "Stupid Love," a song off her highly anticipated sixth album, at midnight on Friday. After the superstar's announcement, a digital coupon encouraging people to post a photo of themselves listening to the song, which leaked online earlier this

month

,

started popping up in people's social media feeds. The Unicorn Frappuccino-colored post also featured very official-looking logos from Spotify and Apple Music. "Screenshot yourself listening to 'Stupid Love' by Lady Gaga and post a photo to Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #StupidLoveBucks to receive a voucher for a free drink of choice via Direct Message!" read

the promotion.

As they eagerly awaited the "Shallow" singer's new video, several Little Monsters took to Twitter claiming they'd posted a pic and received their free drink already. > Its so delicious @Starbucks >  #STUPIDLOVEBUCKS

One account with the name Starbucks Coffee even got in on the action, further confusing those curious about the offer. > We are celebrating Lady Gaga's new song that arrives this Friday, > here's your chance to win a free drink of choice. Simply post a > screenshot of yourself listening to "Stupid Love" with the hashtag,

One person even shared a fake voice recording of "Gaga" endorsing the

coupon.

After the digital flyer floated around for a few days, several tweeters turned to the official Starbucks customer service Twitter account for a confirmation about the offer. > Hello, sorry for any confusion, but this is not a valid Starbucks > offer. The best way to confirm a promotion is through our Starbucks

A Starbucks spokesperson also confirmed to TODAY Food that the Twitter promotion was not a valid offer, and reiterated @StarbucksHelp's suggestion to confirm any deals via the Starbucks app or by reaching out to the chain online. The coupon may be a fake — and Frapp fans may be disappointed — but Lady Gaga and her most devoted followers are having the last laugh as her new single climbs the charts thanks to the fake offer. However, if the promotion _had_ been real, it wouldn't be the first time Lady Gaga partnered with Starbucks. In 2017, the coffee chain donated 25 cents from every "Cup of Kindness" beverage sold
