Mother Monster has seen the TikToks and is here to show us how to do it. On December 8th, Lady Gaga reenacted Jenna Ortega’s viral dance from the Netflix series Wednesday, dancing to the tune of her own 2011 track Bloody Mary. In the black-and-white clip, Gaga wears theatrical makeup up and quickly dons a pair of plaid knee-high socks and her interpretation of a school uniform before stepping onto the scene with an Addams-style braided hairstyle and dancing every Wednesday. “Bloody Wednesday,” Gaga captioned the TikTok.
The dance sequence in the series was originally set to “Goo Goo Muck” by The Cramps. Ortega, the show’s eponymous star, said her choreography was inspired by “Archive footage of goths Dancing in Clubs in the ’80s,” as well as Siouxsie Sioux and Bob Fosse’s “Rich Man’s Frug.” The scene eventually made the rounds on TikTok, where users found it paired perfectly with an accelerated version of Gaga’s “Bloody Mary,” from Here’s To This One born wise”.

However, Gaga was a fan of Wednesday dance moves even before the TikTok trend: after Addams’ official Wednesday account put his stamp on the trend TwitterGaga answered, “Slay Wednesday! You’re always welcome at Haus of Gaga (and bring Thing, we love paws here 😉).” If this TikTok is any indication, it seems like Haus of Wednesday already feels like home to her.
