She made her Grammys debut at the 52nd annual celebration in 2010, performing a medley with a surprise guest before taking home two Grammys.

Lady Gaga at the 2010 Grammys

In her very first Grammy performance, Gaga sang a duet with none other than the legend and  EGOT winner  himself,  Elton John . She ran through a medley of her major hits before she sat down at the piano opposite John for a duet of her "Speechless" that wound into his "Your Song."

Gaga also picked up her first two awards that year, for best electronic/dance album ( The Fame ) and best dance recording ("Poker Face").
