Cooper sat on a nearby chair before joining Lady Gaga on the piano bench. They finished off their duet by affectionately singing cheek-to-cheek in a moving rendition.

The singer hit all the high notes as her co-singer supported her. The pair ended their incredible performance by staring into each other’s eyes.

They smiled and hugged each other as they walked off the stage. Backstage the two hugged tightly again as they were met by a group of production staff who couldn’t help but clap for them.

Lady Gaga asked, “Did I nail it?” Looking affectionately and proudly at Cooper the musician said, “I’m so [expletive] proud of you!”

During a commercial break, the pair came out arm-in-arm to and received huge applause from the audience. Cooper kissed and hugged his girlfriend, Irina Shayk when he got back to his seat.

For her appearance at the Oscars, Lady Gaga wore a black Sarah Burton design dress. She accessorized it with a 128 carat Tiffany diamond worth $30 million.

The yellow stone jewel was first discovered in 1877 and was displayed at the 1983 World’s Fair. It has been used in the promotional materials for "Breakfast at Tiffany’s" and featured in the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris during the mid-nineties.

Only three women have worn it so far, socialite Mary Whitehouse, Audrey Hepburn, and now Lady Gaga.
