Lady Gaga is looking back — or trying to — on her infamous The Hills cameo.
The pop star, 38, participated in a lie detector interview with Vanity Fair uploaded via YouTube on Wednesday, February 19. Gaga was asked to recall some early moments in her career including her time on the famous MTV reality show.
“One of your first TV appearances was on the reality show The Hills in 2009 where these two women acted as PR at one of your concerts,” the interviewer said while holding up a photo of the show’s stars Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port. “Do you remember their names?”
Gaga examined the photo to get a better look, naming Conrad before pausing for a beat to remember Port’s name. “I don’t … Whitney?”
The interviewer then asked Gaga if Conrad and Port, both now 39, did “a good job” while working with her. However, Gaga was still concerned she got Port’s name wrong.
“Is that the wrong name? Oh my god. I hate this,” she said. “I hate this. This is hard for me.”
Gaga then asked to hear the question again before giving her response.
“Did they do a good job? Um, yes,” she replied and the interviewer asked the lie detector operator if it was “true.”
“Inconclusive,” the operator responded, to which Gaga laughed.
The interviewer also asked Gaga the hot topic debate from The Hills: should Conrad “have gone to Paris” for an internship instead of staying behind with her then-boyfriend Jason Wahler.
“I don’t remember what that means. Maybe?” Gaga said. “Is maybe [an option?] I can’t answer maybe.”

Gaga made a cameo on season 4 of the show around the same time she dropped her first single, “Just Dance.” Conrad and Port were tasked with assisting Gaga with her styling and outfit for a performance. At one point, Gaga suffered a wardrobe malfunction and Conrad saved the day by repairing the broken zipper on her pants.
In addition to her time on The Hills, Gaga was also asked if she would consider joining The Real Housewives of New York City. The singer responded with an adamant “no.”
“That would make me feel scared to be on reality TV,” she confessed. “This makes me feel scared.”
The interviewer also brought up the news that the upcoming season of Vanderpump Rules will feature a new cast and wanted to know if Gaga was excited to see a new set of fresh faces.
“No. Yes,” she said before ultimately going with “no” — and Gaga’s response was deemed “inconclusive” per the lie detector.
However, Gaga noted that she was going to miss Scheana Shay the most from the original cast — which seemingly made the “Good As Gold” singer’s day.
“Someone come check on me right now!!!!” Shay, 39, wrote via her Instagram Story on Wednesday.
