How do I say in this case? One of my friends told me that she released her album. She wasn't a singer. I was suprised but I belived what she said. But it turned out her joking. In this case, can I say "I was fooled" or "you got me"? Is there any difference between them? Could you please help me?

If you're talking to her, you'd say "You got me", not "I was fooled". Or, you could just say "Good one!" or "I fell for it!"

We would normally say, 'it turned out that she was joking.' That sounds more natural. As to the answer to your question, the others have answered well.

"You got me!" and "Good one!" are things I might yell in surprise when I first realized I'd been fooled. "Oh, wow, you really fooled me," or "Boy, I sure fell for that one," are things I might say after I stopped laughing so hard and caught my breath a little. Does this help? :)

"You got me", "You fooled me", either of those would be correct. "I was fooled" would more likely be used if you were relating the event to someone else (not your friend) later.
