Matt and Dom went to a Lady Gaga concert in Washington D.C. on 29th September,2009 after opening for U2 earlier that same night. Afterwards, he met her backstage. About the meeting, Matt said "The other day, we were opening up for U2 in Washington D.C. We ran offstage quite early because I wanted to go see Lady Gaga play. She was playing in town. I think she's an amazing performer. She wears really cool costumes and stuff. We actually got to meet her as well briefly afterwards. She was all covered in sweat and tight leotards. It was very nice to meet her. I was very excited to meet her actually because I love [Paparazzi] so much. I think it's one of the catchiest songs I've ever heard." On their twitter account, Matt posted a picture of Dom backstage at the concert wearing a Lady Gaga hat[6].
In a 2022 Zane Lowe interview, Bellamy revealed that he'd been a Gaga fan since the mid 2000s, having met her at a show in Washington D.C. in 2007.[7]
