Lady Gaga Ran Over to Help Photographer After He Tripped and Fell on 2023 Oscars Red Carpet | “We All Need Each Other”

On Sunday night's Oscars 2023 Red Carpet, Lady Gaga's admirers discovered yet another aspect of her that they adore. Social media videos show the pop singer entering the Oscars while being surrounded by photographers, per Insider.

The 36-year-old pop singer then passed a photographer on the red carpet before the 95th Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles On March 12. The photojournalist, who was following Gaga, tripped over and fell down amid the commotion. Lady Gaga observed this and immediately turned around and ran to the guy who had fallen over to assist him in getting back up, winning hearts everywhere! She assisted him in standing up and then checked to make sure he was okay and unharmed before returning to the carpet.

Gaga looked stunning in a sheer black dress straight off the Versace catwalk, accessorized with a slicked-back hairstyle, diamond collar necklace, glossy red lip, and smoky eyes. The dress, which features a sheer long-sleeve bodice with exposed corset boning and a drop-waist full skirt, was worn days ago by Gigi Hadid when she kicked off the Versace FW23 runway show in Los Angeles on March 9.

The 36-year-old pop star and actress was not originally expected to perform at the awards as her dates were clashing with the filming of the Joker sequel Folie à Deux, per PEOPLE. At the Wednesday, March 8, news conference for the Oscars Creative Team, showrunner Glenn Weiss said, "We have great relationships with Lady Gaga and her camp [but] she's in the middle of shooting a movie right now, and here we are honoring the movie industry and what it takes to make a movie." Weiss continued, "So she is not going to perform on the show, however, this is all, from our point of view, about someone making a movie and us completely understanding that that's what is a priority in this business, especially when we are honoring movies."

However, the singer ended up performing, blowing everyone's minds when she ditched her Versace gown for a plain black T-shirt and jeans, finishing it off with a no-makeup look. Gaga performed her Top Gun: Maverick tune Hold My Hand, during the intimate performance, referring to the song as "deeply personal." 

She also gave out a really strong message about mental health. "It's deeply personal for me," she began. "I think that we all need each other. We need a lot of love to walk through this life. We all need a hero sometimes — there are heroes all around us in unassuming places. But, you might find that you could be your own hero even if you feel broken inside."
