Lady Gaga has a bit of a history with the Muppets.

Kermit the Frog was her date to the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards and Jim Henson's Creature Shop created pieces for her "The Monster Ball" concert tour in 2010.

She also once wore an outfit made from plush Kermit toys on German television as a statement against the wearing of real animal fur.
