Addison Rae has perfect response to fans memeing her meeting Lady Gaga at Met Gala

Addison Rae had the perfect response as fans made jokes about her appearance at the 2021 Met Gala alongside superstar Lady Gaga – leaning into the memes about the TikTok star mixing with other celebs.

The Met Gala is an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute that many big names crave an invite to what’s considered one of the flashiest and covered events of the year. The event is organized by fashion magazine Vogue.

Guests arrive in elaborate costumes that are tied to a theme. In the past, themes have included “Camp”, “Manus x Machina” with this year’s being “In America.”

With Addison Rae invited, the internet was quick to poke fun at the TikTok star mixing with the A-listers also in attendance.

One meme jokes about Lady Gaga meeting Rae, and mistaking her for a waitress, asking for champagne. But even after Rae explains who she is, Gaga retorts “Okay Addison Rae get me some champagne.”

Although Rae could have taken the memes as a jab at her, she instead replied “I would do anything for you” and tagged Gaga – showing she’s taking the jokes in her stride.

Gaga has not yet responded to the tweet on social media and has been busy promoting a new Vegas residency instead. However, fans thought the tweet was hilarious with one saying “PEOPLE ARE SLEEPING ON UR HUMOR” while others said Rae should do a TikTok dance to one of Gaga’s songs.
