Following the incredible success of A Star Is Born, Lady Gaga's Las Vegas residency was already off to an electric start.
From a plethora of epic costume changes, to some major stage props, fans probably thought that Lady Gaga's ENIGMA couldn't possibly get any more exciting than it already was. But, on Saturday night, that all changed when Gaga's A Star Is Born director and co-star, Bradley Cooper, took to the stage with her.
Sharing a video clip of the surprising performance, Twitter user @KevinMcCarthyTV explained, 'Bradley Cooper just jumped on stage to do 'Shallow' live!!! Insane!!!'
And sharing a follow-up video, @KevinMcCarthyTV wrote, 'Here’s another part when Cooper first took the stage to sing 'Shallow' with Lady Gaga at her Enigma show!!! What an amazing show. Cooper was sitting right behind us. We said hi a couple times. I was wearing a Jackson Maine shirt. Wow. Amazing seeing them do that live.'
If, like me, you secretly wished that Cooper and Gaga were a real-life couple, then their chemistry in these two clips is only going to fuel that fire. To start with, Lady Gaga knelt in front of Cooper as he sang the first verse of 'Shallow,' and it definitely looked as though she was gazing up at him like a lovestruck puppy.
And as Lady Gaga took to the piano, Cooper was completely in awe of the multi-award-winning performer. To finish the basically perfect performance, Cooper joined Lady Gaga on her piano stool, and the pair embraced.
Of course, Cooper is with model Irina Shayk, with whom he has a daughter, and Lady Gaga is engaged to Christian Carino. But their love in that movie will last a lifetime (or 2 hours and 16 minutes).
