Ten-year-old singing sensation Maria Aragon of Winnipeg performed with her idol, outrageous chart-topping singer Lady Gaga, during a sold-out concert in Toronto on Thursday night.
The grade-school student, who caught Gaga's attention after posting a cover of Born This Way online, sang the American pop star's hit single with her about an hour into the show at the Air Canada Centre.
Maria strode out dressed in shiny black pants, a pink shirt and a white hat.
"I'm really excited that Maria is here today, because Maria represents what this song is all about," Gaga said .
"It's all about the next generation and the future, and no more divisiveness."
The 10-year-old sat on her idol's lap at the piano and the pair performed to a roaring, cheering crowd.
Gaga, who called Aragon "Lady Maria from Winnipeg," was in tears after the young performer left the stage.
"Lady Maria really belted it out," CBC reporter Sheila North Wilson said from the concert, which started more than an hour late. "The crowd loves her."
After the duet, Maria thanked her family and friends for their support before heading offstage.
"I'm just really grateful to all of you."
