There were many memorable moments from the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, September 7, and Lady Gaga’s performance was among the highlights of the night. Still, it was also not what fans were expecting (but she did not disappoint)!
Lady Gaga Steals the Show With Her Incredible Performance
Gaga had a conflict in schedule with the VMAs and her tour dates in support of her album “Mayhem.” She pre-recorded her performance for the VMAs the day before, on Saturday, September 6, before returning to New York’s Madison Square Garden to perform her show, People reports.
Her performance included the hit tracks “Abracadabra” and “The Dead Dance.” The latter is from the soundtrack of the hit series, “Wednesday” Season 2, Part Two, which aired on Wednesday, September 3.
Gaga put on an incredible show, and luckily, a clip of it was shared on social media. The theatrics, the costumes, the vocals: there was so much to love about this performance, and Gaga’s fans have gone wild for it. “The best performance of the night!” a comment reads.
“i dont think anyone could ever outdo Gaga. the best artist of this generation. Argue to the wall,” another person shared.
