Scheana Shay is having a pinch-me moment.
The reality TV star was ecstatic to learn that she’s the “Vanderpump Rules” alum that celebrity superfan Lady Gaga will “miss most” amid Bravo’s revamp of the entire cast for its next season.
“I was literally dying and came back to life,” Shay exclusively told Page Six of Gaga’s admission after being eliminated from “The Masked Singer” earlier this week.
“I couldn’t believe that when I got [the clip] sent to me,” she said, adding that she was “so shocked” to hear her name come from the “Paparazzi” singer’s mouth.
Shay admitted, “I watched it so many times that day. I’m like, wait, she said it on a lie detector test!”
Last month, Vanity Fair asked Gaga, 38, while she took a polygraph test, “Be honest, are you excited for a whole new cast for ‘Vanderpump Rules’?,” to which the Grammy winner replied, “No … yes? No.”
The result was deemed “inconclusive” and Gaga was then asked, “Who will you miss most from the original cast?” The “Shallow” singer pondered for a second and then answered, “Scheana.”
Shay took to her Instagram Story after the clip went viral to gush over the compliment. The reality star told Page Six that she has plans to see the music superstar this weekend.
“I’m going to ‘SNL’ on Saturday to see her,” Shay says. “I’m very excited about that.”
The Bravolebrity said this is not her first time meeting Gaga in person, however, as they met up at Lisa Vanderpump’s now-defunct restaurant Pump during Season 4 of “Vanderpump Rules.”
“We hung out one night and it was just iconic,” Shay raved, reminiscing on the fun time.
The Bravo star also reflected with Page Six on her exit from her hit show, which she starred in from Season 1 to Season 11. She told us she actually felt a “sigh of relief” to close that chapter of her life.
“Now we’re going to have a new path,” she said, “but [it’s] also kind of scary going into the unknown.”
Shay continued, “I felt like I was in a good, confident place in my life, and if I got this call maybe a year or two ago, I wouldn’t have felt that way, so I’m excited for what’s next.”
The mom of one said she is “excited to be living in the Valley” and teased that she has filmed “a lot” with other “Vanderpump Rules” alums for Season 2 of “The Valley.”
Shay also said turning 40 this year has made her want to say “yes” more and put her fears “behind” her — like going onstage for “The Masked Singer.”
“I’m extremely proud of myself for doing it because it was very much a hard no at first because of fear,” the “Good as Gold” singer explained.
“I’m afraid of being made fun of and I wanted to face my fears. I wanted to show my daughter that it’s OK to fall down and get back up, and to say yes to things, and to just do something so outside of your comfort zone.”
Shay, who appeared as Bat on the masked singing competition show and sang Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso,” concluded, “I am so grateful that I did this because it was such an incredible experience.”
“The Masked Singer” airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.
