altNot everything is sunshine and rainbows, even when you're a celebrity with oodles of cash. Pop star Lady Gaga recently proved this when her account was taken down by YouTube for copyright infringement.

Although the account has since been restored, the singer's videos were removed after allegations that she had breached YouTube's contract. Many of the videos had millions of views from fans and critics alike. The website declined to comment on the matter, but the page originally stated that the account had been removed due to "multiple or severe violations of YouTube's copyright policy."

People speculate that the root of the debacle stemmed from a video posted to Gaga's account of a performance that aired on Fuji TV. The "Mother Monster" performed her hits "Edge of Glory," "You and I" and "Born This Way" on the network. Although no one will comment on the direct cause of the event, Gaga's fans are surely rejoicing in the account being restored.

The Vevo page has approximately 1.6 billion views, according to the Associated Press. Currently, Gaga is nominated for five Emmy awards for her documentary on the Monster Ball tour.
