going gaga over
Losing one's head
Going gaga over means becoming infatuated with or wildly enthusiastic about something or someone.
The phrase suggests a loss of composure or rational judgment in the face of excitement: She's going gaga over that new singer.
Gaga alone means crazy or senile, but paired with "over," it describes intense, almost foolish admiration.
