At the 2026 United States Figure Skating Championships on Friday (Jan. 9), Alysa Liu proved once again that she’s a monster on the ice and a Little Monster in her heart.

Despite there being just a few weeks left until the Winter Olympics in Italy, the 20-year-old skating prodigy debuted a brand new routine set to two of Lady Gaga’s best known classics: “Paparazzi” and “Bad Romance.” Taking the ice in a shimmering silver leotard, Liu dazzled the crowd and judges with a slew of unbelievable jumps, turns and spins.

As Mother Monster’s voice filled up the arena, Liu let the song speak through her movements, emotion playing out on her face. She would end the competition with 228.91 points, coming in second place behind Amber Glenn.

In just a few weeks, Liu will head to Milan as part of Team USA for the Winter Games starting Feb. 6. As she told Olympics.com, however, she probably won’t perform the Gaga routine in Italy, even though she “really wanted to do it once at least” at the U.S. Championships.

Liu had previously performed a routine featuring Gaga’s Wednesday single, “Bloody Mary,” though copyright issues prevented her from continuing with the use. She also switched up the music to her short program in September, dropping D4vd’s “This Is How It Feels” collaboration with Laufey from the soundtrack after the body of a 15-year-old girl was found in D4vd’s impounded Tesla in Los Angeles.

“In light of recent news, my team & I are confidently pursuing a different direction that aligns with my values & just my overall ethos,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “I’m eager to start brainstorming new ideas, & I want to ensure my creative process isn’t rushed.”
