Lady Gaga thrilled fans at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City on Sunday night with a cheeky performance that included a bum-flashing moment. The pop icon is in the midst of a seven-week residency at the legendary venue, marking its final performances before it closes down.
Determined to make the venue’s last days memorable, Gaga delivered her hits while sporting a giant green wig, staying true to her flamboyant style. During one of her songs, she surprised the audience by briefly revealing her bum.
Despite being raised in New York, this series of performances marks the first time Gaga has sung live at the Roseland Ballroom. She noted to the New Yorker, “It’s basically the only room in the city I haven’t played,” highlighting the venue’s significance, which has hosted legends like Nirvana and Madonna.
Gaga’s setlist featured a mix of her classic hits, including ‘Bad Romance’ and ‘Poker Face’, as well as tracks from her latest album ‘ARTPOP’. Fans were particularly excited to hear her perform ‘G.U.Y.’ live for the first time during her Roseland shows.
While the bum-flashing moment grabbed headlines, the overall show had a more subdued feel, reminiscent of her earlier performances from her 2008 debut album ‘The Fame’.
Adding to the spectacle, Gaga embraced the venue’s name by donning a nude bodysuit adorned with strategically placed roses, a bold fashion choice that drew comparisons to Cheryl Cole’s daring style.
Gaga’s residency at Roseland Ballroom is not just a series of concerts but a celebration of the venue’s rich history and a fitting farewell before its doors close forever.
