Lady Gaga is back on the stage, and every single second of it just screams exquisite. After her mindblowing performances at Coachella and in Brazil, the Queen of Pop embarked on a dramatic journey with the Mayhem Ball tour at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. From the set list to theatrics, the concert is hailed to be bolder, electric, and certainly more Gaga. Due to the unmatched costumes and unforgettable metaphors with a dash of perfect vocals, Gaga’s little monsters are now anticipated than ever. Let’s take a look at a couple of iconic instances from the show.
The entry and tribute
When Gaga enters the stage in the voluminous red gown and starts performing ‘Bloody Mary,’ it’s a sacred experience. As the skirt slowly opens up when she’s at the top, the caged dancers are revealed, enhancing the high-octane pop experience. She follows it with her other hits, ‘Abracadabra,’ ‘Judas, and ‘Scheiße,’ setting the perfect tone. After giving a glimpse of her 2010 era, the 39-year-old welcomes the audience by saying, “Welcome to Mayhem. Welcome to the opera house. This is my house.” A few moments later, it’s the ‘P-p-p-Poker Face’ moment with an extravagant chess game.
The Mayhem
Welcoming the ‘Mayhem’ era, the skeletons, the white dress and human remains make the perfect ambience. Giving a nothing-like-before vibe, the skeletons start to dance around her. Moreover, the gothic diva gets a huge skull on the stage and spins around the runway with the screams that highlight an eerie Gaga mode.
The vulnerable exit
At the end, she performed ‘Bad Romance’ with branch-like nails and a hairpiece with animal ears in a white feathered dress. Lady Gaga can go from extreme theatrics to stripping off her make-up and becoming vulnerable in front of the audience – and that’s what she did. Donning a pair of shades, a black beanie and a Cramps t-shirt, she sang ‘How Bad Do You Want Me’ in the most humanistic way without any pretences, according to Billboard.
