The DIY'd Looks at Lady Gaga's Mayhem Ball Are Paparazzi-Worthy
Put your paws up, Little Monsters: Lady Gaga's Mayhem Ball tour has officially begun. Kicking off in Las Vegas on July 16th, the pop superstar is taking her show on the road across the globe—with performances happening in San Fransisco this week, followed by additional stops in North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. Even better than seeing Gaga perform a multitude of hits in theatrical fashions? Observing what her devoted fans are wearing in the crowd, of course. Just over one week in, and Little Monsters have already proven to be dedicated method dressers. This summer's buzzy tours—from Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter to Kendrick Lamar and SZA's Grand National Tour—have also seen crowds show up in style, though thus far, Mayhem Ball looks have emerged as especially over-the-top, with some dead-ringers for iconic Gaga 'fits. Dare we say, the handmade meat dresses and latex gowns rival the splashy designs the superstar wears on stage. Gaga performing at the Mayhem Ball Many fans have recreated the red lace Alexander McQueen dress (and facial covering) that Gaga wore to the 2009 MTV VMAs. Others have captured her spooky-chic spirit by hand-bedazzling jackets with tons of blood-red crystals. One creator even hand-crocheted an entire angelic-white dress (a vibe that nods to Gaga's recent 'Abracadabra' music video). These days, attending a concert is just as much about the looks as it is the performance—and the Mayhem Ball is officially this summer's freaky high-fashion fantasy, where creativity can be unleashed to the max. Put your paws up! Below, see some of the best Mayhem Ball outfits so far.

Best Moments From Lady Gaga's Mayhem Ball Tour Opening Night In Vegas
With interesting costumes, dramatic stage effects, and her signature energy, Gaga is delivering performances that are nothing short of unforgettable. Lady Gaga is making waves around the world, and her devoted fans, the Little Monsters, are here for every second of it. After electrifying performances at Coachella and in Brazil, Gaga officially launched her Mayhem Ball tour this week at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. This time, the spectacle is bigger, bolder, and more theatrical than ever. With interesting costumes, dramatic stage effects, and her signature energy, Gaga is delivering performances that are nothing short of unforgettable. If you missed the chance to see her live, don't worry, here's a look at some of the most unforgettable moments from the first night of Lady Gaga's The Mayhem Ball. 1 – Lady Gaga opened the show with a haunting performance of 'Bloody Mary," standing atop a massive red skirt that dominated the stage. As the skirt slowly unfolded, it revealed dancers trapped inside cages, setting the tone for a high-impact spectacle. She followed it up with electrifying renditions of 'Abracadabra," 'Judas," and 'Scheiße," leaving the crowd in awe. 2 – While performing Perfect Celebrity, Lady Gaga brought back the eerie stage setup she used at Coachella. She appeared in a giant sandbox filled with skeletons, wearing a flowing white dress. As the song began, she sat calmly with her arm resting on a pile of bones. Then, in the next song, Disease, something unexpected happened: the skeletons, who were actually backup dancers, began to move. 3 – One of the most powerful moments from the Mayhem Ball tour was Gaga's performance of Paparazzi. It stood out for its visuals and storytelling. Gaga walked on the stage wearing shiny platinum heels, while her long white dress created a dreamy atmosphere. The stage then suddenly lit up with rainbow colours. By the end of the performance, Gaga made a bold pose before slowly sinking into the stage. 4 – Killah saw Lady Gaga wearing Gothic attire. While the song is one of the album's highlights, the massive stage gave Gaga the chance to get funky with the production. During one of the moments, the singer was seen having fun on stage. 5 – Lady Gaga sang Shallow from a small Viking-style boat, which had a spine-like design and a human skull at the front. Right after that, she moved to her newest track, Die With a Smile. She sang it while sitting at a beautifully made piano made of wood, for which Gaga received the most thunderous response of the night. The audience didn't just cheer, they sang every word and turned the performance into an emotional experience. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Lady Gaga's new tour features fan messages, with predictable gay antics
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. - YouTube 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.

Lady Gaga Performs to Record-Breaking Crowd at Rio's Copacabana Beach
Lady Gaga performed to a record-breaking crowd Saturday in Rio de Janeiro, as an estimated 2.5 million people attended the singer's free concert on Copacabana Beach. The gig in Brazil marked the highest attended concert by a female artist in history, according to the singer's reps, eclipsing the 1.6 million people Madonna drew to the same venue last year. More from Rolling Stone Brazil Police Reveal Thwarted Bomb Attack Targeting Lady Gaga's Rio Concert Katy Perry Attends Lady Gaga Concert in Mexico City: 'So Proud of You' Lady Gaga Adds Seven Shows to Mayhem Ball Tour 'Tonight, we're making history … Thank you for making history with me,' Lady Gaga told the crowd, which included over a million Brazilians as well as a reported 500,000 Little Monsters who flew in for the special show, which injected over $100 million into Rio's economy, NPR reported. The record holder for largest concert crowd in history — according to Guinness World Records — remains Rod Stewart, who attracted a crowd of over 4 million to Copacabana Beach on New Year's Eve in 1994. The Copacabana Beach concert marked Lady Gaga's first concert in Brazil since 2012. 'I've missed you so much,' she told an enormous crowd that gathered the previous night just to watch her soundcheck. 'I know that this is not the first show here. I know this is just a rehearsal; it feels like it's the real show.' The concert itself found Gaga replicating the five-act 'gothic opera' that she performed during her headlining sets at Coachella and other Mayhem Ball stops thus far. She'll next travel to Singapore for four shows in that country later this month before the North American arena leg of the Mayhem Ball tour begins in July. Rio de Janeiro's tourism department previously announced plans to continue staging free Copacabana Beach concerts until at least 2028.
