Lady Gaga has proven time and time again that she can handle anything thrown her way—whether it's pushing the boundaries of fashion, topping the charts, or conquering the silver screen. But on this week's episode of Hot Ones, she took on a challenge of a different kind: surviving the infamous "wings of death."
The Abracadabra singer dazzled fans as she fearlessly worked her way through increasingly spicy chicken wings while chatting with host Sean Evans. Clad in a dramatic beige ensemble that could easily double as an avant-garde art piece, Gaga somehow managed to avoid spilling even a single drop of sauce on herself. Adding to her effortless elegance, she ate each wing with just one hand, showcasing the massive engagement ring on her finger.
Though many guests on Hot Ones struggle to maintain their composure, Lady Gaga handled the heat with nothing more than a few giggles. Her poise was especially impressive given the show's history of making even the toughest celebrities break a sweat.
As she worked her way through the fiery lineup, Gaga reflected on her early days hustling to make it in the New York music scene. She reminisced about performing at the Slipper Room, a Lower East Side venue where she once knocked on doors just to get a gig.
"I would call and pretend I was my own manager," she admitted, laughing. "I'd be like, 'She's so hot right now!' and sometimes even put on an accent. I would do anything to get booked."
Despite her massive success today, Gaga confessed that the road to fame wasn't easy. She admitted there were moments when she considered walking away from it all.
"I would definitely say that I was tested," she shared. "But I never gave up, and I'm still doing it—so it must mean I really want this."
With six chart-topping studio albums, an Oscar, and a wildly successful Vegas residency under her belt, Gaga has more than proven her dedication to her craft. And fans won't have to wait long for more—her highly anticipated seventh album, Mayhem, is set to drop on March 7.
From setting music trends to setting her taste buds on fire, Lady Gaga continues to remind the world why she's an unstoppable force.
