Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars are quickly becoming our favorite musical duo.
During the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, the two superstars performed a gorgeous cover of The Mamas & the Papa’s “California Dreamin’” onstage.
Following the devastating wildfires that ravaged Los Angeles earlier this month, the award show shifted to honoring first responders and families who lost everything in the fires, with many of the night’s performances keeping that in mind. For the occasion, Lady Gaga switched into an ethereal ’70s-inspired white floral-print maxi dress, while Mars looked suave in a tan suit and matching cowboy hat.
Of course, this isn’t the first time Gaga and Mars have collaborated. Their surprise duet “Die With a Smile” continues to be one of the biggest radio and streaming hits out today since it’s initial release last year.
Gaga previously opened up to the Los Angeles Times about collaborating with Mars and how she knew “Die With a Smile” was a song she had to record.
“It was the lyrics—this idea of a song that was about what we would do if the world was ending,” she said. “I just remember feeling like it was a song that people needed to hear. I write music all the time, and sometimes you feel like you’re making something that some people will like. But there’s other times that you work on something and you just know it’s gonna deeply speak to all different kinds of people. I knew it right away.”
