Lady Gaga showed her true colours after making a comment to staff in a British pub.
American singer, Stefani Germanotta, who is know professionally as Lady Gaga, is one of the most well known singers in the world.
She rose to fame in 2007 following her 2008 album, The Fame, which included the pop hits Just Dance, Poker Face and Bad Romance.
Over the years she has accumulated a vast number of accolades, including 16 Grammy Awards, 22 MTV Video Music Awards, one Academy Award, two Golden Globe Awards, one BAFTA Award, and three Brit Awards.
With Gaga being so well known, it’s common for her to be recognised while going about her daily life. This was true for one Reddit user, who shared his experience meeting the singer in The Castle Pub in Acton.
She had just appeared on The X Factor and popped into a pub for a drink afterward.
He said: “Working in a bog standard British pub, Lady Gaga skipped in one dull winter Sunday evening, shortly followed by her dancers. Getting quite gobby, one of them asked what they were ‘going to get for free’.
“Gaga heard this and launched herself to the bar saying ‘NO! We’re going to pay for EVERYTHING’. Because she was such a sweetie we reopened the kitchen and served up 14 helpings of fish ‘n’ chips to them all.
“Even the Travellers we had in we had in were soon taken with her, and ceased their initial catcalls, going on to act as human barricade for her against the paparazzi that were swarming her when she was leaving.
“I was very briefly interviewed by a national paper the next day, and when asked what she drank I demurred from answering citing my respect for her privacy.”
Due to it being over 15 years later, the man finally shared what she and the dancers had been drinking all night.
He said: “She was drinking large Famous Goose’s and diet Pepsi’s and left a £50 and $70 tip for us staff.”
One person commented underneath the post to commend Lady Gaga for her class in the situation.
They said: “Some people are just born to be stars.” Another person cheekily replied: “I do believe that she was born that way.”
