Lady Gaga received a very special guest during her concert in Sin City. On Sunday night, Tom Cruise stopped by the Park MGM in Las Vegas, where the singer was performing at the resort’s Dolby Live amphitheater.

On Monday, the 36-year-old took to social media and shared two photos of herself and the "Top Gun: Maverick" star planting a kiss on each other’s cheeks backstage. "Thank you for coming to the show last night," the star captioned the post. "I love you my friend @tomcruise." Gaga’s song for the film, titled "Hold My Hand," is being released on Tuesday.

She previously described it as a "love letter" to her fans. "When I wrote this song for Top Gun: Maverick, I didn't even realize the multiple layers it spanned across the film's heart, my own psyche, and the nature of the world we've been living in.

I've been working on it for years, perfecting it, trying to make it ours," she wrote on Instagram. "I wanted to make music into a song where we share our deep need to both be understood and try to understand each other — a longing to be close when we feel so far away and an ability to celebrate life's heroes." "I'm so grateful to Tom… for this opportunity — and it's been a beautiful experience," Gaga shared about her experience. "Me, BloodPop, Ben Rice and everyone else who worked on it with us are so excited to share it with you.This song is a love letter to the world during and after a very hard time.
