Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars Honor L.A. After Wildfires With ‘California Dreamin” Duet at the 2025 Grammys


Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars sang "California Dreamin'" at the 2025 Grammys. Get the details.

Taking the stage just after a video played highlighting the destruction in the Los Angeles area — which has been left devastated following January’s deadly wildfire crisis — the two singers added a bittersweet edge to the cheerful 1965 tune by slowing the song down and pouring emotion into their powerful vocals. The ceremony comes three days after Gaga joined numerous other stars in performing at the FireAid benefit concert in L.A., raising money for the city’s rebuilding efforts after the blazes displaced tens of thousands of residents and destroyed countless homes. Leading up to the Grammys broadcast, fans had heard only two songs from the LP: “Die With a Smile,” Gaga’s smash hit duet with the Silk Sonic star, and “Disease,” which dropped in October.
