Slayyyter might be actually kinda famous, but now she has something even better: a stamp of approval from Lady Gaga.

Mother Monster gave the pop singer a major shout-out in a new TikTok posted Thursday (Sept. 3), soundtracking a makeup tutorial with Slayyyter’s “I’M ACTUALLY KINDA FAMOUS.” In the video, Gaga shows off what she calls her “daily holy trinity” — concealer, contour and lip liner — while getting ready in under a minute.


But it was Gaga’s comments section that delivered the real crossover.

“I know Slayyyter is going to burst into flames when she sees her song was used,” one fan wrote underneath the video. Gaga then responded with possibly the only thing that could make the moment more exciting for Slayyyter: “I love Slayyyter,” followed by three black-heart emojis.

Slayyyter didn’t literally combust, but she did promptly freak out and respond. The rising pop star reposted Gaga’s comment to her Instagram Story, writing in all caps, “I LOVE GAGA.”

This public declaration from one of pop music’s most prominent figures is just one of many prizes Slayyyter has collected within the year. She recently earned her first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 when “brand new chanel$” charted at No. 98 during the week of Aug. 15. Her latest album, WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA, debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Dance Albums chart.

So, yes, Gaga picked an especially appropriate soundtrack. “I’M ACTUALLY KINDA FAMOUS” is already one of the most deliciously self-aware titles in Slayyyter’s catalog. Now, one of pop’s biggest stars has given it a co-sign.

Take a look at the interaction below.
