Lady Gaga is still raving about Bradley Cooper.
One day after the actors took to the Oscars stage to perform “Shallow” from their hit film A Star Is Born (which clinched the award for Best Original Song), Gaga opened up about the remarkable experience with her costar.
“Nothing could be more special than sharing this moment at the Oscars with a true friend and artistic genius,” she wrote on Twitter Monday.
Along with the sweet message, Gaga, 32, shared a photo of the pair sitting at the Steinway piano during their performance.
Fans have long been enamored by Gaga and Cooper’s on-and-off-screen electrifying chemistry, to the point where some online wanted their passionate performance on Sunday to end with a kiss.
Instead, Gaga and Cooper smiled and hugged as they walked off the stage.
Their embrace continued backstage as the two were met with a swarm of claps from the production staff.
“Did I nail it?” asked Gaga. Taking in the congratulations, she looked at Cooper and said, “I’m so f—ing proud of you!”
With only a few seconds to get back to their seats, a handler disengaged Gaga from the mic-pack attached to the back of her dress — and Cooper and Gaga, side by side, made their way to their seats via the stage.
During the commercial break following their duet, the pair came out arm-in-arm to huge cheers and another standing ovation from the entire house.
Cooper kissed and hugged girlfriend Irina Shayk when he got back to his seat, and the model congratulated Gaga, whom Shayk cheered on throughout the night.
