Lady Gagais reconnecting with Stefani Germanotta.
The Grammy Award winner, 36, relived her club kid days and the dawn of her career as she joined the nostalgia-fueled “Teenage Dirtbag” TikTok trend with a series of aughts throwback photos.
“I had to,” Gaga captioned theclip, which began with her walking through her bathroom in a grey crop top and bleached hair and eyebrows, while singing the 2000 Wheatus song.
She then included a slideshow of photos from the early years of her career, before releasing her 2008 debut albumThe Fame, as she rocked dark brown hair and donned some risqué party girl looks around the clubs and streets of New York City.
“Just Stefani….” Gaga added in a comment, referencing her birth name.
TheChromaticaartist’s montage even earned a seal of approval from Wheatus themselves. “SOS.Lady Gagashattered us into a million pieces. We will never recover from this. Who knew there was such a thing as too much happy?” the band wrote in a comment.
Gaga previously spoketo PEOPLEabout her early years and her journey to fame as it relates to her character Ally in the 2018 remake ofA Star Is Born.

“I was bullied and made fun of for having big dreams,” Gaga added, noting that she tended to act out at her elite private Catholic school: “I was a such a bad kid… a f—ing nightmare.”
To play Ally, Gaga said she had to go “back further into my childhood, into my high school years,” adding: “That’s where I went … to be vulnerable, to be my authentic self.”
