Lady Gaga Calls Herself a ‘Labubu’ in Playful Video Before Mayhem Ball Show

Ra-ra-ah-ah-ah, roma-roma-ma, Gaga, ooh Labubu … Lady Gaga is getting in on a certain plushie craze.

In a whimsical TikTok posted Friday (July 25), the pop superstar filmed herself seemingly getting ready backstage for a concert, all dressed up in one of her Mayhem Ball tour outfits. With her hair teased into the shape of two bunny ears — similar to those sported by the fuzzy little monster keychains you keep seeing attached to everyone’s bags and purses — Gaga says in a silly, high-pitched voice, “I’m a Labubu!”

“Labubu!” she repeats before sticking her tongue out slightly at the camera.

For those not yet in on the trend, Labubus are collectible dolls sold by Chinese brand Pop Mart. With sharp teeth and goblin-like faces peeking out of their variously colored fur suits, the toys are basically just portable little monsters — an especially fitting product for Gaga, considering the name of her fanbase.

Trending on Billboard

Mother Monster’s funny video comes shortly after she finished the second of three Mayhem shows at San Francisco’s Chase Center, at which she’ll play one more concert on July 26. The Grammy winner’s trek kicked off earlier in July with three performances in Las Vegas, and Gaga will continue touring through North America, Europe and Australia throughout the rest of 2025.

The trek comes in support of Gaga’s Mayhem album, which dropped this past May. Debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the project found the A Star Is Born actress returning to her dark dance-pop roots.

“Part of my personal mayhem is that it’s fun, and that’s why I keep doing it,” she told Billboard of the LP in a March interview. “That’s what makes it complicated — it is dark, and it pulls me away from myself, but it’s also the best time. It’s that point where you’re at the party, and you’re totally numbing out, and you’ve fully accepted that by the morning you are not going to feel well, but you’re fully in it.”
