Don't be a drag. Just be a queen! Lady Gaga lives her lyrics.

The 26-year-old "Born This Way" singer met up with Thailand's famed "lady boys" at the Calypso Cabaret in Bangkok on Friday.

"I saw the most amazing show in Bangkok, time for you to see mine ladies!" she tweeted after seeing the transgender performers. "This city is one of my favorites"

Her Asian tour hasn't been without its fair share of controversy. Religious groups have protested against the Born This Way Ball, calling it pornographic and an offense to Christianity for purportedly promoting homosexuality.

Of course, Mother Monster isn't phased by the haters. 

Her manager told reporters Thursday the singer plans to "play the show as it is. It's a very specific show. It's a very specific audience."

On Tuesday, Gaga tweeted: "If the show does go on as scheduled, I will perform the BTWBall alone."

She also made a reference to her iconic "Telephone" video, writing: "And don't worry, if I get thrown in jail in Manila, Beyonce will just bail me out. Sold out night 2 in the Philippines. I love it here!"

Keep doing your thing, girl.
