Lady Gaga surprised fans on Wednesday night when she appeared on stage with U2 during their Las Vegas residency at the Sphere.
Frontman Bono introduced the US singer as “the most audacious, vivacious woman in any room she’s ever in” before she joined them on stage dressed in a dark leather jacket, black tights and shades.
After the crowd settled, the hitmaker, 35, performed two of the Irish rock band’s classics, All I Want Is You and I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For, before dueting with Bono on her Oscar-winning track Shallow from A Star is Born.
It’s not the first time Gaga and U2 have come together onstage. Previously the Grammy winner joined the band in 2015 at Madison Square Garden in New York City for a rendition of Ordinary Love.
The House of Gucci actress’s Vegas appearance comes weeks after she wrapped up an extension of her long-running Jazz & Piano show at Dolby Live in Park MGM earlier this month.
It’s been a jam-packed month for Gaga, who recently appeared alongside the Rolling Stones during their intimate NYC gig.

The American singer joined the British band during the encore where they performed their collaboration, Sweet Sounds of Heaven, from the group’s latest album, Hackney Diamonds.
U2 are the first act to perform at new cutting-edge venue, The Sphere, which sees the crowd placed in a "360-degree sonic spectrum".
Their Sin City stint was due to finish on December 16, but it's proved so popular, that they've added an additional 11 concerts starting January 26 until February 18.
Elsewhere, U2 recently changed the lyrics of their track Pride (In the Name of Love) to honour the victims killed in a music festival attack led by Hamas militants on October 7.

During the gig earlier this month, Bono, 62, dedicated the song to “our brothers and sisters – who they themselves were singing at the Supernova Sukott festival in Israel”.
The Dubliner rewrote the lyrics to the first verse, which originally refers to the death of Martin Luther King Jr, to reference the festival attack.
He sang: “Early morning, October 7, the sun is rising in the desert sky/ Stars of David, they took your life, but they could not take your pride,” before repeating: “but they could not take your pride” three times.
