Renowned beauty and SFX makeup artist Henry Galea has set social media ablaze with a series of mysterious Instagram stories – hinting that none other than Lady Gaga might be in Malta for a secret collaboration!

One of his intriguing stories reads: ‘Today I had the privilege of meeting one of my biggest inspirations in Malta while she’s here filming. She has inspired me for years and I can’t wait to show you. Hint: She’s a singer.’

If that wasn’t enough to spark wild speculation, his next story fuelled the fire even more:
‘If you know, you know. And if you don’t... you’re not ready. I told her no paparazzi... and she said ‘perfect’. Happy birthday, mystery guest.’

The accompanying video features a cloaked figure dancing beside him. Gaga fans were quick to connect the dots – especially with his reference to Paparazzi and the fact that today happens to be her birthday!

Adding to the buzz, a selfie allegedly featuring the pop queen herself has surfaced online, taken just outside Mdina’s main gate.

Do you think Mother Monster really in Malta, or is Henry playing the ultimate April Fool’s prank?
