Lady Gaga’s engagement ring could stop traffic.
The Grammy winner, 38, gave Us a good look at her honking piece of jewelry while appearing in a trailer for the Apple TV+ and Apple Music’s Christmas special of A Carpool Karaoke Christmas, released on Sunday, December 15. In fact, we almost forgot just how spectacular her sparkler really is.
For others who may need a reminder, look no further than the new episode, as Gaga, who is engaged to tech investor Michael Polansky, can be seen driving around with host Zane Lowe while giving the camera a closeup of the large oval diamond solitaire ring on a pavé band.
Gaga and Polansky, 46, first sparked engagement rumors last April after she was spotted wearing said diamond while out in West Hollywood. She also wore a long black coat, but the sleeves failed to hide her bling, which isn’t hard to imagine considering the gargantuan size. The 8-carat ring has an estimated worth of $500,000 or more.
Gaga confirmed her engagement in July at the Paris Olympics when she introduced Polansky as “my fiancé” to French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal.
Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky’s Relationship Timeline
Fast-forward to September, the singer sent cameras flashing when she was joined by her fiancé at the Venice Film Festival. The couple arrived by water taxi with Gaga flashing a beaming smile as well as her giant bling for all to see.
During the film festival, they attended the premiere of Gaga’s film Joker: Folie à Deux and all but shut down the red carpet, thanks in no small part to the near-blinding bijoux on her left hand, which Polansky lovingly held as they posed for photographers.
The singer shed light on how Polansky asked her to marry him while appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in October. After an afternoon spent rock climbing, he popped the question. “He wanted to know if it was OK to propose before he proposed and I was like, ‘Yes! It’s so OK!’” Gaga said. “It was very Michael to ask me if he could ask me,” she added.
She also offered insights into their dream wedding. “We actually talk about going to the courthouse just the two of us and ordering Chinese food,” Gaga said. “[But] knowing me, also, it could become like a circus with unicorns.”
After all, a ring like that deserves a parade.
