She didn’t even flinch. In the video posted to her Instagram feed on Monday, Gaga nearly out Gaga’s herself, sitting cross-legged in a black leotard with matching black lipstick, slowly raising a silver bucket over her head. Her hashtags: #SharePainShowCompassion. As a part of the challenge, which has raised over [$5 million](http://time.com/3111699/ice-bucket-challenge-als-donations/ "undefined") for research into ALS, (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease), those nominated can either agree to dump a bucket of ice water on themselves within 24-hours or donate a $100 to research. Your move, Adele, Michael Rapino, Vincent Herbert, and Arthur Fogel or, as Gaga said #RichPeople. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3135837/lady-gaga-als-ice-bucket-challenge/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3135837/lady-gaga-als-ice-bucket-challenge/"},"headline":"Watch Lady Gaga Take the Ice Bucket Challenge Without Saying a Word","datePublished":"2014-08-18T13:00:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:12:31.388Z","description":"She didn't even flinch","url":"https://time.com/3135837/lady-gaga-als-ice-bucket-challenge/","keywords":["celebrities","Newsfeed","viral","ALS","Ice Bucket Challenge"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Maya Rhodan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/maya-rhodan/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3135837/lady-gaga-als-ice-bucket-challenge/","name":"Watch Lady Gaga Take the Ice Bucket Challenge Without Saying a Word"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Watch Conan Take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge","description":"Watch Conan Take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/khxRN3zV/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-08-15T11:40:48.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/khxRN3zV.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3135837/lady-gaga-als-ice-bucket-challenge/","duration":"PT52S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3135837/lady-gaga-als-ice-bucket-challenge/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
