we will never experience an era like ARTPOP again. lady gaga was truly ahead of her time with the extravagant and futuristic visuals, as well as the theatricality and unpredictability of her performances.
@wmata omg!!!!! Please fi these constant stops on the green line inside of the tunnel! It’s rush hour and we continuous stop inside the tunnel. Like what is the hold up. It defeats the purpose of having a schedule!
lady gaga is at a stage in her career where she simply didn’t give a fuck anymore. she’ll do pop, she’ll do jazz, she’ll top the charts, she’ll flop hard, she’ll headline coachella, she’ll do a random cameo. she just doesn’t give A FUCK!
Lady Gaga breaks the record for the biggest standalone concert ever, performing for 2.5 million people at Copacabana Beach—surpassing Madonna’s previous 1.6 million crowd.
Nothing could prepare me for the feeling I had during last night’s show—the absolute pride and joy I felt singing for the people of Brazil. The sight of the crowd during my opening songs took my breath away. Your heart shines so bright, your culture is so vibrant and special, I hope you know how grateful I am to have shared this historical moment with you. An estimated 2.5 million people came to see me sing, the biggest crowd for any woman in history. I wish I could share this feeling with the whole world—I know I can’t, but I can say this—if you lose your way, you can find your way back if you believe in yourself and work hard. You can give yourself dignity by rehearsing your passion and your craft, pushing yourself to new heights— you can lift yourself up even if it takes some time. Thank you Rio for waiting for me to come back. Thank you little monsters all over the world. I love you. I will never forget this moment. Paws up little monsters. Obrigada. Love, Mother Monster.
I wasn’t planning to tour this year after my shows in Singapore but the incredible response to the new album inspired me to keep things going. It came together super quickly thanks to Arthur Fogel and the amazing team at Live Nation, who planned a global tour in just a few weeks. We chose arenas this time to give me the opportunity to control the details of the show in a way you simply can’t in stadiums—and honestly, I can’t wait. This show is designed to be the kind of theatrical and electrifying experience that brings MAYHEM to life exactly how I envision it. The MAYHEM Ball Tour is officially coming your way. See you soon, monsters.
