Rodriguez—Getty Images  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Feb 13, 2017 1:56 AM UTC Lady Gaga and Celine Dion are two of [music’s shining stars](http://time.com/4661033/lady-gaga-super-bowl-memes-2017/?iid=sr-link1), albeit in very different ways. And during Sunday night’s Grammys red carpet, the icons got a chance to cross paths in a sweet momentary encounter. Gaga—wearing a very bold, very revealing getup, [as is her wont](http://time.com/4660667/super-bowl-halftime-show-lady-gaga-review/?iid=sr-link3)—approached the ever-elegant Dion to share a hug and a cheek kiss, before flashing her a peace sign as she continued down the red carpet. From that footage, it looks like they were equally enamored with each other. Naturally, fans of both of the talented entertainers are enjoying this unexpected collision of worlds. > [](https://twitter.com/gagamonster96/status/830943817733914624) > [](https://twitter.com/kingsgoId/status/830944671841079296) > [](https://twitter.com/jonreyes/status/830953727850844160) > [](https://twitter.com/oscahhhhh/status/830951261851811841) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4668427/lady-gaga-celine-dion-grammys-2017/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4668427/lady-gaga-celine-dion-grammys-2017/"},"headline":"Lady Gaga and Celine Dion Are the Friend Duo We Didn't Know We Needed","datePublished":"2017-02-13T01:56:24.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:41:01.536Z","description":"The two music icons shared a hug and a kiss","url":"https://time.com/4668427/lady-gaga-celine-dion-grammys-2017/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Music","Grammys 2017"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt58b98d03bf3f1292/6988b9f22dce0191fc9ec3d0/lady-gaga-celine-dion.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt58b98d03bf3f1292/6988b9f22dce0191fc9ec3d0/lady-gaga-celine-dion.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The 59th GRAMMY Awards - Red Carpet","caption":"Lady Gaga and Celine Dion attend the 59th GRAMMY Awards at STAPLES Center, on Feb. 12, 2017 in Los Angeles.","creditText":"Alberto E.
