Brian Johnson Joined By Lady Gaga For “Highway To Hell” Karaoke Ride

Apple TV+ has just dropped a surprise treat for fans with A Carpool Karaoke Christmas, featuring pop stars Lady Gaga, Chappell Roan, and Dua Lipa. One of the standout moments is when Lady Gaga teams up with AC/DC’s frontman Brian Johnson to sing “Highway to Hell.”

A Fun Ride with Gaga and Brian Johnson

The special kicks off with James Corden, the usual Carpool Karaoke host, calling radio personality Zane Lowe to ask him to give “three friends” a ride in various locations, including Tokyo, Missouri, and Los Angeles. During Lady Gaga’s ride, she shares a funny clip of her grandma singing “Highway to Hell,” and Lowe pulls off a big surprise by bringing in none other than Brian Johnson.

As Gaga reacts in shock, the AC/DC frontman takes over the wheel, and they dive into a duet of the iconic song. Gaga gets a chance to fangirl next to one of her musical heroes, and during their jam, she reveals a fun piece of trivia. “You wanna hear something funny? I was in the ‘Stiff Upper Lip’ video,” she tells Johnson. “I was 17 and I was an extra in the back. I was headbanging, and they were like, ‘Hmmm. Don’t head bang, we want it to be modern.’ And I was like, ‘No, there’s only one move that I can do.’”

A Hilarious Ending

At the end of the ride, Johnson adds a humorous twist, saying, “I don’t have a license!” His quick wit and casual demeanor bring some lighthearted fun to the special.

The full A Carpool Karaoke Christmas is now available to stream on Apple TV+. You can also catch a clip of Lady Gaga and Brian Johnson singing together, along with the video for AC/DC’s “Stiff Upper Lip.”

Also, earlier this month, AC/DC announced their first North American tour in nine years, kicking off in April—tickets are available now!
