"Lady Gaga voiced her support for One Direction at the MTV Video Music Awards 2013, after the band were booed on stage. The five-piece was met with a chorus of disapproval when they went on stage to collect the &amp;#039;Song of the Summer&amp;#039; award for &amp;#039;Best Song Ever&amp;#039;.      After leaving the stage and giving a short interview, in which Zayn Malik and Niall Horan thanked fans for voting for the track, Gaga approached the band to offer some words of support. Still dressed in her Venus costume from her earlier performance of &amp;#039;Applause&amp;#039;, Gaga told Malik, Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson to ignore the criticism. She said: &amp;quot;Don&amp;#039;t you dare let those people boo you. &amp;quot;If I did hear what I heard out there, I just want to tell you that you deserve every bit of success that you have.&amp;quot;  Gaga claimed that she had also been booed and wanted to say something to the audience because of it. The 27-year-old added: &amp;quot;I want to leave right now. I don&amp;#039;t want to stay anymore because I don&amp;#039;t want to be in a room where people are booing.&amp;quot; However, One Direction dismissed the negativity, with Payne saying: &amp;quot;F**k it, f**k it.&amp;quot; MTV Video Music Awards 2013 - photo gallery:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
