On 25/7, Lady Gaga shared a video of young Nero recreating the "Abracadabra" music video on X, writing, "This is just too cute. A must-watch!" The post garnered over one million views, boosting Angelica's visibility.
The girl's remake, released on her YouTube channel on 24/7, is described as a special version for children, adapted by Angelica Nero and her vocal coach. Her parents oversaw and approved the entire production.
According to the video's description, Angelica is a Little Monster (the name for Lady Gaga's fans) and considers the singer one of her greatest inspirations. She enjoys all of the singer's performances, from the song "Born This Way" (2011) to her Super Bowl halftime show.
"With a little sparkle, lots of practice, and a huge love for performing, Angelica finally fulfills her dream of becoming a pop star. Whether you're a Lady Gaga fan, a mom with kids who love performing, or just someone who enjoys watching little girls give their all for their dreams – this music video is for you," the introduction states.
The video has reached nearly 100,000 views on YouTube, and a clip on Facebook has over 130,000 views. Many viewers said they watched the video because Lady Gaga shared it and were impressed by the girl's confidence, singing, and dancing. Some comments suggested Angelica Nero could become a big star in the future.
However, some users commented that the performance was inappropriate for her age, finding it unsettling to see Angelica in adult-like attire. They acknowledged her talent but advised her parents to choose more suitable music for her. A few initially thought the video was an AI creation.
Little is known about Angelica Nero beyond the information on her online profiles. Her YouTube location indicates she lives in the US. Her mother manages her social media accounts, which started posting videos of her in early 2024. Besides singing, Angelica Nero plays the violin and piano, dances ballet, and ice skates.

In 9/2024, she went viral performing "My Heart Will Go On" from the movie Titanic on the street, accompanied by French pianist Emil Reinert. The video of the performance has attracted over 150 million views on Instagram.
Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, is 39 years old. She rose to fame in 2008 after releasing the single "Just Dance", which topped the Billboard charts.
