AC/DC's Brian Johnson and pop superstar Lady Gaga team up to duet on AC/DC classic Highway To Hell in a special Carpool Karaoke show hosted by Apple TV's Zane Lowe.

The show, which is currently streaming on Apple TV+ in America and will be available globally from Friday, December 20, also features pop stars Dua Lipa and Chappell Roan.

In a clip of the show shared on X, aka The Platform Formerly Known As Twitter, Lowe stops to pick-up Johnson, who slides into the car's driving seat, to the obvious delight of Gaga.

"This is the moment" Gaga says excitedly, as the opening chords of Highway To Hell ring out.

Proving that she's a longtime fan of the Australian hard rock legends, Gaga tells Johnson that, pre-fame, she once appeared as an extra in an AC/DC video.

"You wanna hear something funny?" Gaga says. "I was in the Stiff Upper Lip video," Gaga told Johnson. "I was 17 and I was an extra in the back. I was headbanging and they were, like, 'Hmmm. Don't headbang. We want it to be modern.' And I was, like, No. There's only one move that I can do."
