My (kinda sad) Enigma experience

[KURUSHITOVSKA 20,439]

(Please notice: this is not a rant and i'm not judging Gaga, i'm just telling my experience. I adore her)

So I went to Enigma last friday on the 25th from Barcelona. We arrived in Vegas on the 24th. We were shopping that night and suddenly we were told that Gaga was at the casino. We went there and sat on a table next to her and her friends, being quiet and everything, not like HEY GAGA HEYYYYY. Ok I took a picture because who wouldn't, i know, my bad, but didn't post it anywhere, just on my insta after it was already posted on Twitter that she was at the casino. We didn't tell anyone and I asked my friends not to post anything, and so we did. Her security came to us asking not to take pictures and that she would say hi if she wanted to. Lacee was also there and I spoke to her a bit, she was really really nice as always. I told her we were coming from Barcelona just to see the show and she said she'd let Gaga know. Gaga didn't even look at us, and I was talking to Lacee right behind her, like almost touching backs. 

Suddenly Gaga stands up and walks away with Peter and I was too excited to hold me back so I walked behind her telling her we were coming from BCN. She turned her back on me and walked the other way just to get away from me, she didn't say anything, at all.

Then a couple of minutes after, another security guard came to us: "guys, this is not right, you better leave now"...

I myself felt quite devastated, I completely understand that she was in her personal time and that she owes ud nothing, but idk... Even Lacee was nice to me, we weren't asking for nothing but a salute, like "hey thanks for coming", nothing else... 

I wrote a letter telling Gaga I brought a pice that my mother, who died a couple of nights after the show, wore at her prom. A tie made from faux pearls that my mother always said "was so Gaga" and that she'd love it. I threw it on stage in front of her, with a note saying "From Barcelona with Love" but i guess she didn't notice because she had no reaction at all, she picked another letter (that doesn't bother me, the girl she took on stage deserved it as much as me).

I'm feeling  a bit sad about this whole thing because she's always like "fight for your dreams, they'll come true, be kind" but I was just about to make a dream come true and I know it wasn't the right time, but do I have to pay 3K to meet her? I've spent my whole year savings on this trip and it was completely worth it, but you know, with that spine stuck on my heart... 

I still adore her as much as I've done for these past 11 years (wow) and i'm not judging her at all, I just needed to express my feelings. 

Gaga if you see this, I love you, just wave your hand if I meet you around again...

Please don't turn this into a fight or something because I already know, it's not her fault, i just feel bad.

oh I feel so bad, I understand Gaga probably didn't want that type of thing to happen and maybe that's why she just, tried to get away but I also so understand you, of course it'd make me sad too if I traveled so much and I saw my dream SO close. I still hate my experience at the btwball because I couldn't even make monster pit and give Gaga a letter and such so I can't imagine how you feel :C I hope you had a good time at enigma though!

This is my nightmare if I ever encounter a celebrity, honestly. I hope you had a great time though. Feel better. It's so hard understanding how both you and her felt atm. I don't know what to say. 

[Quartz 11,923]

Grl, she doesn't owe you anything. What if she were having a bad day, the last thing she would want is to entertain someone. My two cents.

I already said what you've just said, thanks?

Spoiler

I'm sorry you had to go through that. They're right when they say never meet your idols. You might just find out they're human. Hope the trip was fun!

I know, all of this happened after she posted this so she must've had a bad day, that's why i'm not blaming her at all.

[Franch Toast 25,222]

I'm sorry about your disappointing experience. I'm also sorry about the loss of your mother. 

These kinds of situations are so difficult. There's only one Gaga, but she has millions of fans who'd love to meet her. She's remarked before about how if she stopped to talk to every fan, she'd never get anywhere. Maybe the night when you saw her, she decided not to talk to any fans, because once she opens the floodgates, it's hard to shut them. Or maybe she was exhausted, not just physically, but also emotionally. Or maybe she just didn't feel like talking to people. Still, even though you can rationalize all of this, that doesn't take away the sting. 

If it helps, please know it wasn't personal.

see...this is where I have a problem. You're entitled to your own opinions but you posting cryptic replies on other threads that have nothing to do with this makes me think you just want to start something. Like, why bring it up in the Ashanti thread, the "fame is prison" thread, and instead of explaining it there, you feel the need to make a whole thread about it. It's just weird. And the fact is, you were NOT kind and understanding in those threads. You literally said you "weren't impressed" with her description of why she felt fame was prison because of this event. You complained about her singing with Ashanti last night because you didnt meet her the night before. I am sorry for your loss though. I'm not trying to start something.

My friend was there on the same day and he said she was drunk af. I understand your sadness and i really feel sorry for this moment, but she was just feeling herself, with a lot of alcohol in her blood and it is really hard to pay attention to people around you when you are completely wasted

What attitude? That wasn't anything meant to be bad or something, it was just a comment of mine saying I wasn't impressed because I already had this experience, how's that bad? And the Ashanti comment was because I understood that she wasn't having her best moment but she was with Ashanti. You don't need to mind me so much. Maybe if you'd spend 3K on just going to a show, took a 12h flight and had your idol right in front of you and ignoring you, you'd understand.

I’m sorry for your loss and for the bad experience, I totally understand why you’d feel let down about the whole thing. But she seemed pretty drunk that night and probably just wasn’t completely aware  I know it would’ve been amazing if she’d noticed you and come over and talked, but I wouldn’t try to take it personally or anything, because she wasn’t exactly herself at the moment if she was actually drunk.

In this case, it sounds like Gaga was just ignoring everyone and her team was told to keep people away. I get that it must have been disappointing, but it doesn't sound like she actually snapped at your or said anything wrong. It would have been kind if she waved, but I don't think she did anything bad by just wanting to be alone in her off time since it wasn't like the stage door at Enigma, etc.

Also, we all have bad days and it kind of sounds like Gaga was affected by the backlash to her tweet. Celebs are human like the rest of us. Sometimes they are friendly, sometimes they are just polite, sometimes they are rude, and sometimes they want to be left alone. I love Cher even more than Gaga, but I've heard stories of her being extremely friendly to people who approach her in public for the most part but also rarely  being a bit snappy (which is worse than ignoring people, imo).

As someone said, idols are just human.
