About

Lady Gaga's Drag Queen refers to a viral video uploaded on TikTok by the Brazilian drag queen Penelopy Jean in which she is confused for the real Lady Gaga during the Miami concert of the Chromatica Ball tour on September 17th, 2022. The video shows fans surrounding the drag queen with eagerness and even a security guard helping her walk out of the venue, unaware she's not actually Lady Gaga. Penelopy Jean and the video gained notoriety shortly after when the videos of her being surrounded by fans at the venue went viral.

Origin

On September 17th, 2022 the American pop singer Lady Gaga[1] was performing her Chromatica Ball concert at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, FL, but the show was canceled prematurely due to a thunderstorm. As the crowd walked out of the venue, some fans thought they spotted the singer herself weaving through the people. It was actually the Brazilian drag queen Penelopy Jean walking out of the stadium along with the other fans, as she explains in this TikTok[2] video posted on September 18th, 2022 (seen below).
