LADY Gaga has come under fire for dressing like a ‘Nazi’ at a Hillary Clinton rally, only it turns out her controversial threads have an incredible backstory.

The Joanne singer appeared on stage with Hillary Clinton in North Carolina on her final night of campaigning in a last-ditch appeal to voters in a military style jacket, aviator shades and a large cowboy hat.

She bought 55 items including the jacket from his Bad tour at auction, saying they would be “expertly cared for” on behalf of his fans worldwide.

“The 55 pieces I collected today will be archived & expertly cared for in the spirit & love of Michael Jackson, his bravery, & fans worldwide,” she tweeted at the time.

Gaga hailed Clinton as an advocate for disadvantaged young people in her final rally in North Carolina. She said the Democratic nominee is “made of steel” and urged respect for Trump backers following the result.

“I know that it is important for this message, too, to be spread — that we do not need to hate his followers,” she said.

“If we are true, true Americans, then we must go from viewing his followers as our adversaries to viewing them as our allies.”
