Lady Gaga pokes fun at her 2013 performance with R. Kelly during 'SNL' monologue

During her second hosting appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” Lady Gaga jokingly referenced her 2013 duet with R. Kelly on the song “Do What U Want.”

As both the host and musical guest for the evening, Lady Gaga used her monologue to reflect on her previous time hosting the show.

“I’m so happy to be back at ‘SNL.’ The last time I hosted was in 2013 and every aspect of my performance aged amazingly,” she joked.

The performance in question took place years ago, featuring Lady Gaga and R. Kelly before the latter faced legal troubles and was incarcerated for criminal charges associated with racketeering and sex trafficking.

“So there’s no need to Google ‘SNL 2013, Lady Gaga featuring R. Kelly.’ I won’t bring it up, because that would be bad!”

The “Abracadabra” performer, who wore a glittery flapper gown and matching fur, then segued into talking about her more recent focus on acting, which included critically acclaimed performances in “A Star Is Born” and “House Of Gucci.”

“Anyways, I’m an actor now. And I’ve been very diligent about selecting films that can showcase my craft as a serious actor, films such as ‘Joker 2,’” she joked, before adding, “Apparently people thought it was awesome.”

“Joaquin [Phoenix] and I even got nominated for a Razzie, which is an award for the worst films of the year. We won for worst screen duo.”

“But joke’s on them. I love winning things! And my Razzie brings me one step closer to an EGORT. It’s like an EGOT, but it’s hurtful.”

She later raved about being on “SNL” again, saying, “I promise to act, to sing… and to not do ‘Joker 3.’“

During the show, Gaga performed songs from her seventh studio album, “Mayhem,” which was released on Friday.

She was an “SNL” musical guest four times prior to this weekend.
