On Apple TV’s “A Carpool Karaoke Christmas”, which dropped in a surprise release on December 15, Lady Gaga joined Zane Lowe alongside fellow guests Chappell Roan and Dua Lipa to perform festive classics as well as their own hits.
NME reported that in her segment, Lady Gaga showed a clip of her late grandmother singing “Highway To Hell”, and Lowe went on to surprise her with an appearance by 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.”

Lady Gaga also revealed she was a “headbanging” extra in an AC/DC video as a teenager. “I was 17 and I was an extra in the back and I was headbanging,” she said, 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.’”
