Lady Gaga embarked on her highly anticipated Mayhem Ball this week, with the first stop being at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The pop superstar delivered an unforgettable set of songs, including some deep cuts like "Aura" from ARTPOP and "Summerboy" from her debut album, The Fame. She also debuted a new song called "Kill for Love."However, before the show began, fans were given the opportunity to participate in the show and submit messages using a form on her website, and some were chosen to be displayed on the monitors. The notes that were sent in ranged from adoration to political messages to typical gay antics. Here are some of our favorites.
"C'mon Monsters! Let's go! Everybody better be jumpin'"
To those who aren't chronically online, this message may seem like any regular old post about getting the crowd hyped. However, those who spend way too much online will immediately get the reference. This is a reference to a young boy named Staten Harry, who uploaded a video of himself lip-syncing to "Alejandro" and said the phrase heard round the world. The flamboyant young boy stole the hearts of the Little Monsters, who still love him to this day, even if he has denounced Gaga and pivoted to being a Christian influencer.

He changed the name of his YouTube channel to StatenLwSpreading_GodsGrace and wrote a lengthy message in the description of one of his videos about how he stopped worshipping Gaga and focused on his religion. "March 28th used to be a VERY demonic day for me because it's Lady Gaga's birthday…. a day I used to worship her and exalt her on so crazy much," he wrote. "So anyways just a little testimony of HOW GOOD GOD is and how now on March 28th im glorifying HIM not a mere celebrity."
He went on to write, "I legit had thousands of pictures of her on my phone. Pictures even on my wall. My clothes. My phone's wallpaper. My entire social media accounts were even based upon worshiping her. Wow….Thank you LORD for saving me. Amen.'
Little Monsters remind everyone that art is political
Some of the messages on display were political, and a Lady Gaga concert is the perfect place to share these sentiments. One message reads, "No human is illegal. Melt ICE. Fuck Trump," whereas another note reads, "F Donald Trump, trans lives matter, and FREE PALESTINE."
Everyone remembers their first time
Alex from NYC shared a sentimental memory with the crowd that reads, "First time I ate p*ssy was to Born This Way, thanks for always being there for me Gaga!" The comment was one of the more shocking messages that made it to the stage, with one X user posting it with the caption, "CAN Y'ALL BEHAVE?! Also, is there no moderator?!" If these are the types of messages we're going to see, we say keep them coming.
Gay people's bedrooms? A likely place for Gaga to be
Joey shared an unsurprising message, "My husband and I bone to Mayhem sometimes. We are gay. Hi everyone."
Some of the messages get even more NSFW, leading fans to believe there's a good chance this idea won't last that long. "This segment will definitely be deleted for the rest of the tour,' one person suggested. "RIP Voices of Mayhem. They're gonna silence us now," another person wrote. The next show is taking place on Friday, as she plays a three-show stop in Vegas before moving on to San Francisco on July 22.
