Lady Gaga's double birthday celebrations

International pop icon Lady Gaga is celebrating her 25th birthday in style as she becomes the first person to achieve over 9 million followers on Twitter. 

The 'Born This Way' star wrote to her fans in the early hours of the morning, March 28, and explained:

"Thank you for trending #BornThisDay monsters! The sweetest tweet! You are all the present I need in the world. I'll be 25 in about 4 hrs!"

A few hours later, she updated her news feed again and expressed her gratitude at all she's achieved:

"Drawing on table at restaurant. If I had to give it all back, but got to keep my fans, that'd be ok."

This impressive social networking milestone comes just weeks after she hit 30 million Facebook fans, becoming the first female artist to do so, and so now she has more than just one reason to celebrate her birthday this year. 

Watch her talk about her incredible achievements from making it six weeks at number 1, to receiving a present on stage to having an entire arena sing 'Happy Birthday' to her, here:
