Lady Gaga has marked the 10-year anniversary of her hit single, “Bad Romance”, in style: with a bath selfie.

For the uninitiated, the photograph is a reference to a bug-eyed Gaga singing and dancing while in an empty bath tub in her 2009 music video for the track.

Judging by the snap, it looks as if the 33-year-old singer was posing in a dressing room, with a rail of clothing and a wig pictured behind her.

Gaga appears to be growling in the photo, holding her fingers up like claws in reference to some of the memorable poses she made in the avant-garde “Bad Romance” music video.

The musician uploaded a second image in the post in which she is posing with her hand on her shoulder and a pair of sunglasses hiding her eyes.

In both photos, Gaga is wearing a bath hat.

The post has been well received by the singer’s fans, garnering more than 624,000 likes and thousands of comments.

“Bad Romance” marked the start of a highly experimental phase for the singer, who famously wore a dress covered in raw beef to the MTV Video Music Awards one year after its release.

The following year, Gaga made headlines when she arrived at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles inside an egg-shaped vessel, which she claimed to have spent 72 hours in prior to the ceremony.

The singer is currently performing in Las Vegas as part of a concert residency titled “Enigma”.
