Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard of Wednesday. The Netflix adaptation of Wednesday Addams’ days at Nevermore Academy has broken viewing records on the streaming service, but it is also responsible for creating a dance that has driven social media wild.

In the show’s fourth episode, Jenna Ortega’s character breaks it down at the school’s social event of the year, The Raven. The routine, which the actress choreographed herself, is set to “Goo Goo Muck” by The Cramps, but it also works particularly well with “Bloody Mary” by Lady Gaga. The track was part of Gaga’s 2011 album Born This Way, but is having a revival 11 years later and as it was sent to French radio as a single earlier this month. 

The dance mash-up has gone viral on TikTok and now none other than Miss Gaga herself has taken part in the challenge!

Wearing goth make-up and an outfit that resembles Wednesday’s, the “Bad Romance” singer posted a black-and-white video on the social media platform where she performs the moves to her own song. Gaga captioned the post, “BLOODY WEDNESDAY”.

The Oscar winner also shared a post on Twitter in which she declared, “Slay Wednesday! You’re welcome at Haus of Gaga anytime (and bring Thing with you, we love paws around here).”
