Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett truly had a special relationship, and the pop star will always carry a reminder of that on her body in the form of a tattoo that he drew for her.
The jazz legend passed away at the age of 96 on July 21, and the world is already missing his iconic voice and spirit.
After meeting in 2011, Tony and Gaga went on to record two albums together – 2014′s Cheek to Cheek and 2021′s Love for Sale. Around the time of their first collaboration, she opened up about the tattoo Tony drew for her.

“I asked Tony to draw me a trumpet, and he sketched me Miles Davis’ trumpet,” Gaga revealed in a 2014 interview with People that has since resurfaced. “Then I had it tattooed with his last name, Benedetto, underneath. Just so I would always remember this time together.”
Even after Love for Sale, Tony and Gaga remained close. He celebrated her historic nominations for the 2023 Oscars. She performed some of his hits at the Grammys the year prior.
