Lady Gaga has nixed a deal to sell a special edition of her upcoming album at the retail giant.

Gaga previously told, Billboard that her relationship with Target was tied to their “reform … and to redeem the mistakes they’ve made supporting those [antigay] groups.”

Last month, Target announced it would be selling a deluxe edition of Lady Gaga’ s new Born Thi

s Way album, starting May 23. But now, a rep for the singer confirms the two sides “came to a mutual decision to end their overall exclusive partnership,” reports The Advocate.

Why? Gay advocates were concerned, citing Target’s donations to a political candidate who was against gay marriage. Target came under fire last year after the discount store chain had donated corporate funds to MN Forward, a political action committee that supported anti-gay candidate Tom Emmer in his failed 2010 run for governor of Minnesota.

“She and Target didn’t see eye to eye on Target’s policy of political donations and how they affect” the GLBT community, Bob Witeck of Witeck-Combs Communications, told the Advocate.
