If there’s one thing we know about Lady Gaga it's that she's FAR from predictable!
Taking to that stage with British DJ Mark Ronson at the Grammy Awards last night, the A Star Is Born actress performed her hit song from the film 'Shallow' ... but while most people expected a subdued, stripped back version of the tune, the old Gaga came out to play instead.
The 32-year-old, who won three awards on the night for both Joanne and A Star Is Born, reminded everyone that she is a fully-fledged rockstar with or without the help of co-star Bradley Cooper.

Taking to social media, fans slammed the performance, with some comparing her "spazzing" to that of the girl from The Exorcist.
No disrespect to #LadyGaga bc I think she is a very talented artist and an amazing vocalist. However, my neck literally hurts from watching her throw her head back-and-forth like that. 😳 #GRAMMYs

Why did Lady Gaga overperform that song? It is beautiful and didn’t need all that production. #Grammys2019

@enews Didn’t like the Shallow performance at all. It’s much better in the movie @ladygaga

Cooper was unable to perform alongside Gaga at the ceremony because he was in London attending the BAFTAs – where Gaga was also a winner for best original music.
What did you think of her performance?
