Lady Gaga knows how to recover like a true superstar!
Gaga, 39, tripped and fell while performing “Vanish Into You” from her album MAYHEM during a MAYHEM Ball performance in Las Vegas. A member of her camera crew who was recording the performance also appeared to stumble in a fan-shared video on X.
The “Abracadabra” singer was quickly back up on her feet to continue the performance, with fans nearby applauding her quick recovery. Gaga went on to deliver a show packed with intricate set pieces and choreography, all lending to a gothic, theatrical visual form.
In another video shared from the Vegas shows, the singer goes barefaced for her performance of “How Bad Do U Want Me.” The encore begins with the “Disease” singer backstage, wiping her glam-free face with a towel. She also traded her extravagant costumes and wigs for a subtle look in a black bodysuit, leather trench coat, baseball cap and sunglasses during the song. She took the stage for her final bow while embracing her natural beauty.
The MAYHEM Ball sees Gaga back on the road again following 2022’s Chromatica Ball.
“There’s something electric about a stadium, and I love every moment of those shows. But with the MAYHEM Ball, I wanted to create a different kind of experience — something more intimate — closer, more connected — that lends itself to the live theatrical art I love to create,” she said in a statement.
On Instagram, Gaga opened up to her fans about hitting the road again and admitted that another tour was not in her future.
