Lady Gaga has revealed she was a “headbanging” extra in an AC/DC video as a teenager, reports NME. On Apple TV’s “A Carpool Karaoke Christmas”, which dropped in a surprise release last night (December 15), Gaga joined Zane Lowe alongside fellow guests Chappell Roan and Dua Lipa to perform festive classics as well as their own hits.
In her segment, Lady Gaga showed a clip of her late grandmother singing “Highway To Hell”, and Lowe went on to surprise with an appearance AC/DC’s Brian Johnson, prompting her to recall being an extra in one of their videos when she was a teenager.
“I brought you Brian Johnson for Christmas,” Lowe joked as he let the Geordie singer into the car. “You want to hear something funny?” she said. “I was in [2000’s] ‘Stiff Upper Lip’ video.”
“I was 17 and I was an extra in the back and I was headbanging,” she continued, prompting fans to share screenshots of her brief appearance in the video on social media.
“And they were like, ‘Don’t headbang. We want it to be modern.’ And I was like, ‘No, I can’t. Like, there’s only one move that I can do.’”
