While Lady Gaga is a mega popstar, there’s no doubt about this: she has a rock and roll voice. And now, we know that she’s been rocking – and headbanging – since she was in her teens, including in an AC/DC video clip.

Lady Gaga appeared on Apple Music and Apple TV+’s latest festive special, Carpool Karaoke Christmas, alongside fellow music sensations Dua Lipa and Chappell Roan. The trio didn’t just sing Christmas songs with Zane Lowe – taking over for creator and executive producer James Corden – they sang some of their own songs, too.

In the case of Lady Gaga, the Die With A Smile (featuring Bruno Mars) singer was joined by a surprise guest, AC/DC vocalist Brian Johnson. Lowe teased that he’d brought her Brian Johnson for Christmas.

The pair teamed up for an epic rendition of the AC/DC classic, Highway To Hell. After singing together, Gaga revealed she was an extra in the band’s Stiff Upper Lip music video.

“You wanna hear something funny? I was in the Stiff Upper Lip video,” Gaga told Johnson (via Consequence Of Sound). “I was 17, and I was an extra in the back. I was headbanging, and they were like, ‘Hmmm. Don’t headbang; we want it to be modern.’ And I was like, ‘No, there’s only one move that I can do.’”
