Lady Gaga Declares Filipino Drag Queen Precious Paula Nicole a ‘Superstar’ – Here’s Why
LADY GAGA – Pop sensation Lady Gaga recently declared Filipino drag queen Precious Paula Nicole a “superstar” after an unforgettable performance in Quezon City, and here’s why her electrifying act caught the pop icon’s attention.
Lady Gaga has recently showered praise on Filipino drag queen Precious Paula Nicole, calling her “a superstar” after an impressive performance in Quezon City.
On February 8, 2025, Precious, alongside fellow drag queen Popstar Bench, took to the stage at Rampa, a popular queer club in Quezon City, to perform Lady Gaga’s newest single “Abracadabra.” The performance, which was a part of the club’s anniversary celebration, became a standout moment, catching the attention of fans and celebrities alike.
Initially, Bench had planned a solo performance, inspired by Lady Gaga’s iconic look in the music video for “Abracadabra,” where she wore a white outfit. However, Precious, who is also one of Rampa’s creative heads, suggested that the performance would have a bigger impact if she joined Bench onstage. She proposed wearing red, as seen in the music video, to create a more dynamic and magical experience for the audience.
In an interview, Precious explained, “Hindi lang siya pwedeng ma-perform mag-isa dahil, doon sa music video dalawa siya. May lady in red, kailangan dalawa siya para mas ma-feel nila yung magic na maipalabas natin yung music video at mailagay natin sa stage ng Rampa.”
The following day, Precious shared a video of the unforgettable performance on social media platforms, including TikTok. To her surprise, Lady Gaga herself commented, “You are a superstar.” Precious responded gratefully, “Thank you, Mother,” marking a significant milestone in her drag career.
This recognition wasn’t limited to Lady Gaga alone. The stylist from the “Abracadabra” music video, as well as the choreographer, followed Precious on Instagram. Other U.S. drag queens from RuPaul’s Drag Race also reached out to express their admiration for the performance, further solidifying Precious’s growing influence in the drag community.
For Precious, this moment represents a major achievement in her career as a drag queen, earning the respect and recognition of both global music icons and peers.
