ANVEEROY 61,112 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Following two critically divisive albums, ARTPOP and Joanne, Gaga relied on her athletic showmanship to prove to America that she had earned her position in America’s pop pantheon. As Doreen St. Félix wrote for MTV News at the time: “She was excellent, no doubt, making every mark and grabbing every note. She’s proved her athleticism. We know she can command the attention of an entire stadium audience. But can she bask in it?” Enter the Joanne World Tour. Gaga does nothing but bask during her two-hour tour de force, as I witnessed Wednesday night at The Forum in Los Angeles. Gaga subtly addressed criticisms lobbied against her for her muted politics during the Super Bowl as she frequently addressed her LGBTQ audience members and pointed out that the Super Bowl, to her, wasn't a celebration of herself, but a celebration of the queer community. And granted, there’s nothing quite like “Born This Way” being performed on a national stage days after the inauguration of Donald Trump, who has since gone on to display anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, alongside his Vice President Mike Pence with an equally intolerant track record. But subtlety is not the name of the game when it comes to the Joanne World Tour. The extravagant set, bright and ostentatious costumes, and Gaga's let-it-all-hang-out attitude find the pop star at an ease I've never seen her at before. Even in restrictive costumes like her traditional white "Bad Romance" suit or the Bram Stoker fantasy of her blood red dress for "Bloody Mary," Gaga never once seems like she has lost control. She's a natural-born performer and this tour has been her greatest role yet.
