15-year-old ranchera singer Ángela Aguilar grew up in the music industry, coming from a long lineage of powerful performers, including her father Pepe Aguilar. She has already grown into a big name herself, with a massive following (1.5 million followers on Instagram alone) but she's admitted that she'd still be star struck if she met Lady Gaga, of whom she's a big fan.

Now, with the latest episode of ReImagined, which you can watch below, Aguilar pays tribute to the pop queen, offering a moving one-woman cover of Gaga and Bradley Cooper's GRAMMY-winning hit "Shallow," from their Oscar-winning film A Star Is Born.

Aguilar may be as just as excited about this video as her many fans are. She first teased the performance last month during a news interview with TV Azteca, where she was very thrilled to have permission to offer her take on the emotional song.

"Shallow," released last fall as part of the A Star Is Born Soundtrack, was written by Gaga, Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando and Andrew Wyatt. The song took home two wins at the 61st GRAMMY Awards earlier this year, for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Song Written For Visual Media. 

Also for the 61st GRAMMYs, Aguilar earned her first nomination, for Best Regional Mexican Music Album (Including Tejano) for her debut solo album, Primera Soy Mexicana. She also, along with Aida Cuevas and Natalia Lafourcade, stole the show during the GRAMMY Premiere Ceremony, with their rendition of the classic Spanish language song "La Llorna." Aguilar also earned her first Latin GRAMMY nominations in 2018, for Best New Artist and Best Ranchero/Mariachi Album.

Above, you can watch the L.A.-based, New York-born singer take on the GRAMMY-nominated 2006 feel-good bop. "Put Your Records On" was Bailey Rae's second single, which charted in both the U.K. and U.S., from her self-titled debut album. The uplifting track was nominated for Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year at the 49th GRAMMY Awards, where she also got a nod for Best New Artist.

Beer has a debut album of her own on the way this year to follow up her 2018 EP, As She Pleases. She released the LP's catchy lead single "Dear Society" in May. The 20-year-old is one to watch—back when she was just 13, Justin Bieber discovered her YouTube covers of icons like Etta James, tweeting about her to his huge fan base and helping connect her with a record deal.

The next installment of ReImagined arrives on Tuesday, July 23 at 10am PT, but you can catch a special sneak peek of Angela Aguilar performing her exclusive cover of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's A Star Is Born ballad "Shallow" right now.

Sneak Peek: Angela Aguilar ReImagines "Shallow"

The young GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY nominee has been a Gaga and A Star Is Born fan for a while now. In fact, right before the 61st GRAMMY Awards, the young ranchera singer told the Recording Academy how she hoped she'd run into the pop icon on Music's Biggest Night:

"I saw this movie called A Star Is Born where Lady Gaga performs, and that was one of the best things I've ever seen," she said at the time. "I haven't cried that much in a movie since, like, Bambi. I feel like if I see her I'm gonna kind of have like a starstruck moment. I never get starstruck  because I've been in the industry for so long, and I live in Los Angeles. It's everywhere. But with her I think I might get a little antsy."

Check out a special preview above, and be sure to catch Aguilar's full ReImagined performance on YouTube or our video page on Tuesday, July 23 at 10am PT / 1pm ET.
