Lady Gaga has been a household name since she burst onto the music scene more than a decade ago. But one of her songs, “Bloody Mary,” just made its debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart thanks to a TikTok trend. The trend exploded after the song was remixed to set the scene in Episode 4 of Netflix’s Wednesday – a show that has quickly become a smash hit. The dance scene in the show was choreographed by leading star Jenna Ortega, who has since become a TikTok sensation. In an interview with Variety, she was asked about the possibility of Lady Gaga appearing in the upcoming second season of Wednesday during the Official Digital Pre-Show for the Golden Globes and said, “I’m sure Netflix would love that.”

Millions of TikTok users created their own versions of Ortega’s signature dance, setting it to Gaga’s song and making it go viral. As if that wasn’t enough, Gaga even got in on the trend, creating her own version of the dance on social media. The combination of the show and the TikTok trend has made “Bloody Mary” a hit on the charts, and it’s not hard to see why. It’s a powerful, catchy pop track that fits perfectly with the show’s dark themes. Jenna Ortega discussed Gaga’s reaction to the performance and the likelihood of Gaga performing in the show’s second season.
“It’s really strange. You know what’s funny? A long time ago I worked with a hairdresser that worked with Gaga and I just had seen Gaga in concert a few years before. [The hairdresser got] Gaga [to make] me a video saying she heard I was a fan. Gaga made me a sweet video. I doubt she remembers. But to see her to do that now…it’s one of those moments you realize life changes really fast. If Lady Gaga were to be a part of it, they’d have to be two monsters who understand each other.”
