Lady Gaga Made 'Honorary Aussie' In Sydney

Lady Gaga has spoken of her pride at being made an official Sydneysider during a trip to the Australian city.

The singer was presented with the title by Lord Mayor Clover Moore, who paid tribute to Lady Gaga's gay rights activism, reports The Daily Telegraph.

"I would like to pay tribute to her for using her star power to focus attention on the prejudice directed at gay men and women," Ms Moore said.

"Lady Gaga has been a powerful force for the gay and lesbian community in Sydney and we have a rare honour for people whose achievements embrace the ideals and spirit of our city - Honorary Citizen of Sydney."

On Twitter, Lady Gaga said: “Thank you to the Mayor of Sydney, steadfast GLBT activist, for making me an honorary Aussie Citizen.”

Meanwhile, the singer also played two secret gigs in the City yesterday (July 11) after leaving fans a cryptic message on Twitter.
