Looks like Beyonce and Lady GaGa‘s “Video Phone” has been temporarily disconnected.

The video for their highly anticipated collaboration was scheduled to be released today at 5:30 p.m. EST on MTV.com. Every medium imaginable was utilized to get the word out about the premiere — not that it was needed. The promise of seeing two of music’s biggest divas dueting was enough to break viewing records.

5:30 came. Fans rushed to MTV.com. Nothing.

As frustration and impatience hit a boiling point, MTV’s Buzzworthy blog tweeted that they ran into “technical difficulties” getting it up, but the video would be coming soon.

Soon turned into later. Finally, Beyonce’s record label confirmed the video release would be postponed and it will be airing at another date in November.

Whenever the video premieres, it’s sure to be an epic event. Building even more excitement for the project, GaGa recalled getting the call not only to appear in the video but to add a verse for the song earlier this week in an interview with BET’s 106 & Park. “[Beyonce] called me up after I saw her at the Billboard Awards,” GaGa said. “She said ‘I want you to write a verse and I want you to be in the video.’ I said OK, I’ve got three days, so I went right in the studio and I got it done and I sent it to her and she loved it.”
