Lady Gaga poked fun at her 2013 duet performance of “Do What U Want” with R. Kelly on “Saturday Night Live” while hosting the show for a second time this weekend.

The singer, who pulled double duty on Saturday as host and musical guest, took the opportunity in her monologue to look back on her first hosting stint.

“I’m so happy to be back at ‘SNL.’ The last time I hosted was in 2013 and every aspect of my performance aged amazingly,” she joked.

She and R. Kelly had performed together on the episode, years before the imprisoned R&B singer was charged and convicted for racketeering and sex trafficking.

“So there’s no need to Google ‘SNL 2013, Lady Gaga featuring R. Kelly.’ I won’t bring it up, because that would be bad!”

The “Abracadabra” performer, who wore a glittery flapper gown and matching fur, then segued into talking about her more recent focus on acting, which included critically acclaimed performances in “A Star Is Born” and “House Of Gucci.”

“Anyways, I’m an actor now. And I’ve been very diligent about selecting films that can showcase my craft as a serious actor, films such as ‘Joker 2,’” she joked, before adding, “Apparently people thought it was awesome.”

“Joaquin [Phoenix] and I even got nominated for a Razzie, which is an award for the worst films of the year. We won for worst screen duo.”

“But joke’s on them. I love winning things! And my Razzie brings me one step closer to an EGORT. It’s like an EGOT, but it’s hurtful.”

She later raved about being on “SNL” again, saying, “I promise to act, to sing… and to not do ‘Joker 3.’“

During the show, Gaga performed songs from her seventh studio album, “Mayhem,” which was released on Friday.

She was an “SNL” musical guest four times prior to this weekend.
