While a 4-year-old recreating a Lady Gaga music video is no ordinary feat, it wasn’t anything out of the usual for Angelica Nero, who already enjoys viral fame on the Internet for the same.

Sharing her very first Lady Gaga tribute video, the 4-year-old child even swept off the songstress herself this time. “I will never survive how cute this is! (black heart emoji) a must watch!” the pop icon broke her social media silence only to voice her cute aggression over the young one’s creativity, as Nero went all out in perfecting Gaga’s quintessential style with immaculate outfits.

Viral Abracadabra video: Lady Gaga praises 4-year-old Little Monster’s cover

Looking the part from head to toe, Angelica oozed with unmatched confidence as she performed alongside a troupe of young background dancers. In addition to matching Gaga’s whole aesthetic, Nero’s video actually boasted an original rendition of the popular “Abracadabra” – a track off the 2025 album “Mayhem.”

The ‘Little Monster,’ as the singer’s fans are collectively identified, co-wrote the new lyrics alongside her vocal coach, according to the context detailed in the caption of her YouTube video. Meanwhile, the entire production of the music video was overseen and approved by her parents.

“From “Born This Way” to the Super Bowl halftime show, Gaga has been one of Angelica’s biggest inspirations. With a little sparkle, a lot of rehearsal, and some serious love for the art of performance, she finally got to live out her pop star fantasy,” the YouTube caption informed.

Angelica Nero’s Abracadabra cover divides the Internet

At the time of writing, Angelica Nero’s “Abracadabra” version had over 23,000 view and nearly 3,000 likes. On top of that, Lady Gaga amplified the video by sharing it on her X, with her post surpassing 14,000 likes and 731,000 views. But that’s not the end of the line, as much-followed pop culture page ‘Pop Crave’ on X also went on to re-post a snippet of adorable video. Their post had over 1 million views and 24,000 likes. Gaga fan pages on social media further added to Angelica’s viral fame by hitting the re-share button.

While the “Bad Romance” hit-maker was quick to praise the 4-year-old, many others were not as appreciative of the viral video. While some outrightly chose to ask X’s AI chatbot Grok and answer engine Ask Perplexity if the video was real, other simply slammed it as AI-generated. A concerning number of people even went as far as criticising the 4-year-old kid’s singing.

“She’s an awful singer but this is adorable!!!!!” commented a parody account. “Very AI vibes” wrote another. A third person Yall really can’t tell this ai.” A fourth user took aim at the adults backing such a vision that sought to cash in on a child’s viral fame: “The idea there’s probably a parent paying for this is… Unsettling.”

On the contrary, another significant chunk of netizens couldn’t get enough of the very Little Monster’s “Abracadabra” rendition. “this 4 year old has a BUDGET,” said a supporter. Another added, “I rlly hope that’s her actually singing… this is so incredible at 4 years old.” Yet another wrote, “wait cs she lowkey ended mother gaga here.”

Furthermore, many users plugged in the classic Lady Gaga meme that has her breathlessly chanting the praises: “Talented,  brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before.”

4-year-old social media icon was already insta-famous before her Lady Gaga era

For those questioning the credibility of the video, this wasn’t Angelica Nero’s first attempt at performing arts. The young kid practices the violin, piano, singing and dancing, as per her Instagram bio. Additionally, she is even a figure skater. With her mother managing her social media profiles, the 4-year-old has 120 videos on her YouTube channel, which was launched when she was just 3 years old.

Before tapping into her Lady Gaga era, Angelica’s ambitious collection of song covers included Miley Cyrus’ “The Climb,” Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep,” The Beatles’ “Let It Be,” Katy Perry’s “Roar,” and the Moana 2 OST “Beyond,” among other hits.
