Lady Gaga Praises Lucy Dacus’ Cover Of “Abracadabra”

During a recent session on BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge, Lucy Dacus delivered a moody, stripped-down rendition of Lady Gaga’s smash hit single, “Abracadabra.” The boygenius star’s cover caught the attention of Mother Monster herself, and Gaga praised Dacus’ version for capturing the song’s essence. “I LOVE this so much wow captures the purity of the song,” the 14-time Grammy winner wrote in the comments of a TikTok video clip of the performance shared on Tuesday (April 1). Dacus was deeply moved that Gaga responded so positively to her performance, and proudly shared a screenshot photo of their interaction on X on Wednesday while tweeting, “I’m shaking.” Dacus just released her new solo record, Forever Is A Feeling, on Friday (March 28), and is set to start her US tour in support of the album on April 16 in Philadelphia. Gaga, meanwhile, just featured 32 Little Monsters in a special fan recreation of the “Abracadabra” music video, directed by Parris Goebel, who helmed the original clip. (People)
