Lady Gaga and Metallica are set to team up for a duet at this year’s Grammy Awards.

The pop superstar, who put on a show-stopping performance during Sunday’s Super Bowl Halftime show, will perform alongside the heavy metal band at this weekend’s awards show in LA.

The news was leaked on Monday night by an eagle-eyed Gaga fan, who tweeted a snippet of a Grammy promo clip.

Rolling Stone has now confirmed that the unlikely pair will collaborate this Sunday night, in just one of the evening’s many duets.

Gaga appeared at last year’s ceremony during a tribute performance to late star David Bowie, while Metallica haven’t graced the Grammy stage since 2014.

During her Super Bowl show, the Bad Romance singer announced that she was gearing up for a world stadium tour to promote last year’s album, Joanne.

Artists including Adele, Katy Perry and Bruno Mars have also been confirmed to take to the stage.

Beyoncé, who announced that she is expecting twins last week, is also rumoured to be performing at the ceremony.

While the singer is yet to officially confirm her appearance, her father Mathew Knowles recently revealed that she is currently in rehearsal.

“She sounded a little tired because she’s been working on the Grammy performance,” he during an interview on The Insider last week.
