After the Oscar winner, 36, performed her nominated song “Hold My Hand” withno makeupat last week’s awards show, Gaga shared a behind-the-scenes video to TikTok of herself rehearsing theTop Gun: Mavericksong at a piano in a hotel room after getting all glammed up.
“The rehearsal no one saw. Love you all, thanks for being so supportive of a song that means so much to me,” wrote Gaga in the caption with a red heart emoji.
She wore the samesheer black Versace gownin the video that she sported on the red carpet before going makeup-free in a black T-shirt, ripped jeans and sneakers while performing onstage.
Gaga explained the song is “deeply personal for me” during her intro, adding: “I think that we all need each other. We need a lot of love to walk through this life.
“We all need a hero sometimes — there’s heroes all around us in unassuming places,” added Gaga. “But, you might find that you could be your own hero even if you feel broken inside.”
Executive producer Ricky Kirshner toldThe Hollywood Reportershe “wanted it to be rawand people to see the real Gaga” in an interview about the last-minute performance.
“She was really appropriate about the fact that this is a meaningful song to her and shewanted to really strip it downand do it not as an ‘Oscar performance,’ but as her,” explained showrunner Glenn Weiss. “And that’s exactly what we tried to capture.”
