singer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sewing machine?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'lady gaga's' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'lady' could be 'inger' and 'inger' is found in the answer.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for singer that I've seen before include "Performer of songs" , "Coventry car firm" , "Crooner" , "Someone of note" , "Warbler" .)
