papergangstas 1,161 Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) Why didn't Gaga perform Telephone on the Monster Ball 1.0? She released TFM before her 1.0 Tour started and I think during that time it was even known that Telephone would be the second single. Like, why would she snub Telephone from her 1.0 setlist, but perform Fashion (2009), Paper Gangsta and Eh, Eh? She performed all of the other 7 songs from the album, but not Telephone Edited November 30, 2020 by papergangstas One of me is wiser. One of me is stronger.

Italian 380 Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) Maybe it didn't fit anywhere in the setlist? The only place I can see it is somewhere in the Boys Boys Boys/Paper Gangsta/Poker Face section Edited November 30, 2020 by Italian Quote Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter
Borislshere 50,556 Posted November 30, 2020 For some reason, I just don’t see telephone fitting that version of the tour. Along with Eh eh. It’s one of my favorite moments of the arena tour though Quote Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter

FudgeyBear 1,907 Posted November 30, 2020 If I recall correctly, she was kinda weird about performing Telephone at first. Pretty sure her first live performance was her Jonathan Ross set, months after the album dropped. An iconic performance, nevertheless! Quote Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter

Tyler1992 643 Posted November 30, 2020 If I remember correctly, she didn't perform it at Monster Ball 2.0 until after the video dropped. I think she may have been keeping everything a surprise (but I can't remember). Quote Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter

She performed it on the first night of the arena version, however they didn't have the instrumental so you could barely hear her actually singing the track. She just didn't perform it on the theatre version for some reason. all on my own, i'm a toxic innovator with my trigger finger resting on the incinerator 1 Quote Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter

The video dropped a week or so before the 2.0 tour started She was definitely saving until it became a single/ video came out... maybe the choreo hadn't been decided when 1.0 started Quote Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter
