Origin
On September 17th, 2022 the American pop singer Lady Gaga[1] was performing her Chromatica Ball concert at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, FL, but the show was canceled prematurely due to a thunderstorm. As the crowd walked out of the venue, some fans thought they spotted the singer herself weaving through the people. It was actually the Brazilian drag queen Penelopy Jean walking out of the stadium along with the other fans, as she explains in this TikTok[2] video posted on September 18th, 2022 (seen below).
