- Doechii and Lady Gaga collaborated on "Runway," a new song that appears in the final trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2, though the track does not yet have an official release date
- The song's lyrics include Doechii's verse — "Serve a little sass, with a little side of ass, do a little twirl" — followed by Gaga's string of positive affirmations: "I'm feeling fab, I'm feeling free, I feel exceptionally," closing with both echoing "You were born for the runway"
- The Devil Wears Prada 2 hits theaters May 1, centering on a magazine industry in crisis with Runway diminished from its former glory, and reunites the original cast of Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci
- New additions to the cast include Simone Ashley, Caleb Hearon, and Donatella Versace; Gaga was spotted on set in Milan in October, one day after Versace was seen on location
- Gaga praised Doechii in British Vogue, saying "You don't often see someone come out of the gate with a pen that feels immediately legendary. That's Doechii to me," citing her "audacity and emotional precision"
- Doechii told People she "audibly gasped" at Gaga's comments, calling herself "the biggest Lady Gaga fan" and saying the veteran's praise "really, really validated me in a humbling way"
Why it matters: The collaboration pairs two artists who have publicly championed each other — Gaga in British Vogue and Doechii in People — lending a music-industry crossover moment to a major studio sequel that reunites its original A-list cast and adds fashion-world figures like Donatella Versace, making the May 1 release a convergence of music, film, and high fashion.
