Gaga Tweets Scene-Stealing, Dancing Teen

Winnie McCroy READ TIME: 2 MIN.

Lady Gaga made one little monster deliriously happy last weekend when she congratulated him on Twitter for photobombing a local television news report about the opening of a new shopping center with the choreography from her hit song, "Applause."

New Now Next reports 15-year-old openly gay Las Vegas teen Brendan Jordan was in the background during a local news when cameras caught him doing a flawless rendition of the choreography from Lady Gaga's "Applause" video.

Gaga caught the clip, and tweeted out: "I know I was on vacation, but when are we going to talk about the boy who did 'Applause' choreography in the background of a news report?"

Jordan lost it, replying: "She's Toakking Anout Me." Two hours later, he added, "STILL FREAKING OUT BC LADY GAGA IS LOOKING FOR ME I NEED TO PROCESS THIS I CAN TBNAN."

"I love you baby!" directly tweeted to Brendan. "You really showed the world when that camera was rolling! A real monster, grabbing life by the face for a kiss!"

Needless to say, he went bananas, but returned to Tweet a sweet message in honor of Spirit Day.

In a follow up report, Jordan told the Today show that, "I just saw a camera, and did my thing. I was imagining myself as if I were Lady Gaga, and that no one could destroy me."

The Nevada teen insists he isn't letting "fame" go to his head.

"I still feel the same. I'm still the same kid I was before I did the video," he told a news reporter in the clip below. "The most important thing to do is stay humble."

"[I don't know] why people are comparing me to Lady Gaga," Jordan tweeted after joining Twitter on Sunday. "I worship her as a goddess, and would never try to 'compete' with her."
