Just in case you missed the show, you can watch Lady Gaga’s performance of “Bad Romance” on Gossip Girl last night.

On the episode, Blair (Leighton Meester) feels the need to impress her new classmates at New York University and gain some traction in the social scene, so she promises a private concert with Gaga.

“I do like the show,” says Gaga, who caught up on several episodes while working in Germany. Her youngest sister, adds Gaga, is “the hugest fan.”

As for her audience, the pop star says there’s an overlap among her fans and the show’s viewers: “I’ve got so many young fans,” she says. “I forget sometimes, but I try to be mindful of that in my work.” And the performance, she promises with the slightest of smiles, will thrill.

“For me, this is one of the most innovative ways an artist has performed on a television show,” she says. “It’s exciting.”

Susan G. Komen for the Cure®
Susan G. Komen fought breast cancer with her heart, body and soul. Throughout her diagnosis, treatments, and endless days in the hospital, she spent her time thinking of ways to make life better for other women battling breast cancer instead of worrying about her own situation. That concern for others continued even as Susan neared the end of her fight. Moved by Susan’s compassion for others and committed to making a difference, Nancy G. Brinker promised her sister that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever.

That promise is now Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, the global leader of the breast cancer movement, having invested more than $1 billion since inception in 1982. As the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists, we’re working together to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure®, and generous contributions from our partners, sponsors and fellow supporters, we have become the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.
