People Can't Believe Lady Gaga Took THIS Photo At The Maestro Premiere Last Night

Lady Gaga stepped out at the Los Angeles premiere of Netflix’s Maestro last night, which stars Carey Mulligan and her former A Star Is Born co-star, Bradley Cooper.

The 13-time Grammy winner posed with the movie’s leads on the red carpet, before a screening took place at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.

The film – which was written by, directed by and stars Cooper – recounts the life of composer Leonard Bernstein (Cooper) and his relationship with his wife, Felicia Montealegre (Mulligan). It does not, however, feature Gaga in any role.

So, naturally fans were a little baffled the singer-actor’s conspicuous presence at the premiere – and posing in the middle of the two leads for photographs – which will surely become a meme in good time knowing Gaga’s track record for memes.

Here are some of the best reactions from X so far:

Of course, many will remember the Poker Face singer’s Oscar-nominated collaboration with Cooper in A Star Is Born, which saw the pair play a star-crossed couple whose love is ultimately doomed by Cooper’s character’s hard-drinking lifestyle.

The film earned eight Oscar nominations, including Best Actor for Cooper and Best Actress for Gaga. The only win was for Best Original Song, Shallow, which was Gaga’s first ever Oscar victory. The song also earned three Grammys.

Awards aside, both Cooper and Gaga have spoken several times about the friendship they made while making the film, with Gaga telling Entertainment Weekly that working with the actor “changed” her, and Cooper admitting that he “made a friend for life”.

It makes sense then, that Gaga would be front-and-centre at a premiere to promote her buddy’s latest film, but it doesn’t make it any less hilarious that she took THIS photo with the Cooper and Mulligan:

Maybe she didn’t need to be that front-and-centre? But then she wouldn’t be the Lady Gaga we all know and love, now would she?

Maestro premiered in select cinemas in November and will be available to stream on Netflix from 20 December.
