This is the video Lady Gaga just retweeted

  • 6 years ago
Wearing Lady Gaga's hat from the cover of her "Joanne" album and sat on a stool cooly strumming a little guitar, three-year-old Alba covers one of her favourite singer's songs, in her honour and also that of her late grandfather, grandmother and dog, Marley.

The video - filmed all in one take at home in Oak Forest, Illinois in December 2017 - was then posted by her mother on Twitter in the hope that Lady Gaga might see it.

When Alba had a tantrum over Lady Gaga not appearing at the Super Bowl last Sunday, her parents filmed that and the video went viral.

That video must have got the attention of Lady Gaga, who a day before Alba's birthday retweeted the video of the three-year-old performing her song "Joanne."

Gaga tweeted a link to the video on Tuesday, writing: "A must watch ... the littlest and sweetest #Joanne."

Alba's mother Sarah explains how Lady Gaga's song inspires her daughter, who "always wished she could have met my father - her grandfather - who passed away from cancer many years ago.

"She also really misses her other grandfather who passed away when she was barely three months old and her dog Marley who passed away when she was two.

"Listening to Lady Gaga’s song 'Joanne', which is about the healing from the loss of her aunt at a young age from Lupus, helped Alba deal with the pain of her own losses."

Alba's fascination for the US singer goes way beyond the song "Joanne," as her mother writes: "One of Alba’s first words at about nine months old was 'Gaga.'

"At one year old, she began singing along to some of her songs. By two, she knew most of the words to every Lady Gaga song and began watching her videos. At three, Alba became aware of what a truly amazing person Lady Gaga was."
