Lady Gaga, winner of the Music (Original Song) award for 'Shallow' from 'A Star Is Born,' attends the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, Feb. 24, 2019, in Beverly Hills.

Gaga sang the song, which she originally recorded in 2022 for "Top Gun: Maverick," on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, as a tribute to the 14 people killed there in the New Year's Day car-ramming attack.

The performance was introduced by Michael Strahan and Tom Brady, and Gaga sang the song while sitting at a piano in the middle of the street, wearing a big white hat and a white suit with a long, flowing train.
