Beloved singer-songwriter Lucy Dacus has once again captured the hearts of sapphics worldwide — this time, with a downtempo, folk-y rendition of Lady Gaga's chart-topping MAYHEM single "Abracadabra."
Dacus joined Jack Saunders's BBC Radio 1 new music show for an interview and life performance, where she covered Gaga's dance-pop banger and performed two tracks, "Ankles" and "Best Guess," from her latest record, Forever Is a Feeling.
"Abracadabra" was reimagined in Dacus's style with a melancholic vocal delivery and plucky instrumentation — the makings of a folk pop ballad. A fan's Instagram comment on a video clip of her performance reads, "Only Lucy could make Abracadabra into a song I can cry to in my car."
Gaga herself also approves, writing in BBC's TikTok comments section, "I LOVE this so much wow captures the purity of the song."
