Lady Gaga literally gave a fan the jacket off her back.

After photos were published of the singer handing over her leather jacket to a woman at a Malibu market, the woman, Shannon McKee, explained the story behind the exchange to Today. “I walked in and I was like, ‘Hey, that’s a really bada** jacket you got on,'” McKee said. “And she said, ‘Thank you.’ I kind of recognized the voice, but I’m not one to really go up to celebrities.”

As she was leaving the store, she decided to go up to Gaga again and share a story about how a high school friend of hers came out to her – because Gaga was “incredible ally.”

Gaga told Mckee that she isn’t really into taking pictures when she is out in public, and that’s when she took off the jacket and gave it to her as a keepsake.

Mckee said on social media, “I couldn’t have been more thankful to meet someone as sweet, and caring and compassionate.”
