Gaga’s casting comes after her 2011 track ‘Bloody Mary’ became the unofficial soundtrack to a viral fan dance inspired by Ortega’s now-iconic scene from season one. The trend gained so much momentum that Gaga herself participated in it, sparking speculation about her future involvement with the show.

During the Tudum event at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, Gaga brought the livestream to a dramatic close. She made her entrance from a coffin marked “Here Lies the Monster Queen” and delivered a spooky medley, joined by dancers dressed as characters from the ‘Wednesday’ series. Her set included performances of ‘Abracadabra’—which featured a brief appearance from Ortega seated at a ghostly banquet table—followed by ‘Zombieboy’ and ‘Bloody Mary’. She also revisited the viral moment by dancing to The Cramps’ ‘Goo Goo Muck’, the track that fuelled the original dance trend.
