Did Richy Jackson’s Choreography Contribute to Lady Gaga’s Hip Injury?

When Lady Gaga sustained a hip injury during the Born This Way Ball tour in 2013, it forced her to cancel the remainder of the tour and undergo surgery. This marked a turning point in her career, raising questions about the physical toll of her performances. Among the various factors that could have contributed, some have speculated whether the choreography designed by Richy Jackson, her choreographer at the time, may have been a contributing factor.

A Look at Richy Jackson’s Choreography
Richy Jackson, who took over from Laurieann Gibson [Boomkack] as Gaga’s choreographer in 2011, played a significant role in shaping her on-stage persona. His work is characterised by dynamic, high-energy routines that often include demanding sequences. The Born This Way Ball tour showcased Gaga’s physicality through intense choreography, complemented by elaborate sets and costumes.

It’s undeniable that such physically demanding routines could strain a performer’s body, particularly during a tour as extensive as Born This Way Ball, which spanned 98 shows before it was cut short. However, it’s important to note that professional choreography is designed with the performer’s capabilities and safety in mind. Jackson, a seasoned professional, would likely have tailored the moves to suit Gaga’s physicality, especially given her rigorous training and fitness regimen.

The Role of Scheduling and Exhaustion
While the choreography may have been a factor, it’s worth considering the broader context. Lady Gaga’s manager at the time, Troy Carter, had scheduled a relentless series of shows across multiple continents. The physical and mental toll of such an intensive schedule, combined with the demands of performing night after night, cannot be overlooked. Even with adequate preparation, the human body has limits, and cumulative fatigue can exacerbate existing vulnerabilities, such as joint or ligament strain.

Theories and Responsibility
Could Jackson’s choreography have contributed to the injury? It’s a plausible theory, but not one that can be definitively proven without insider knowledge of Gaga’s physical condition at the time and the specific pressures her body endured. It is just as likely that a combination of factors—choreography, scheduling, costume constraints, and even pre-existing conditions—played a role.

A Disclaimer
This discussion is purely speculative and not intended to assign blame to any individual involved. Injuries in high-performance careers like Lady Gaga’s are often the result of multiple interrelated factors. Both Richy Jackson and Troy Carter were integral to Gaga’s success during this era, and their contributions helped define her as one of the most iconic performers of her generation.

Ultimately, Gaga’s hip injury underscores the challenges faced by artists who strive to deliver unparalleled performances while maintaining their well-being. If anything, it serves as a reminder of the importance of balance in the pursuit of creative excellence.

I aint reading all that but i know for sure he is guilty, aint no body capable of resisting doing this moves for so long...at that point that hip was doing self defense...

[AnnTakamaki 6,744]

i dont think so, it was Troy Carter overworking Gaga iirc her tour schedule during BTW was intense that she doesnt has much time to rest. i know we love to shitting on Richy but i dont think she would keep someone broke her hips around her for that many years

It's not like he stopped, for example:

this shitty megazord move is so dangerous for everyone, not only for her, one dancer makes a bad move and everyone falls apart/ injuring their body.

The difference between him and boomkack, despite both being assholes, is that boomkack actually created a choreography that matched Gaga's dancing abilities, while Richy keeps on pretending that she's a top dancer and her hip is fine.

Imagine scaling 4 floors of a castle, every night, while dancing and singing live.

this particular move is a perfect example of "so much work for such little to no payout". There is no reason Gagas's choreo became so complex compared to her peers in the industry especially when they didn't look good either. even Beyonce focuses on hard-hitting yet sexy and easy-looking moves. Shakiras moves may be complicated, but she has the ability and background to carry it.

 I don't know but I always thought his choreographies are way too crazy for singers. The goal is for the artist to sing live while dancing and when he makes Gaga jump everywhere and move every single part of her body at the same time...

That's why the choreographies for songs like Bad Romance and Alejandro are much better as they don't demand a crazy amount of energy & stamina

Tbh, this Ive is my favorite lol. It’s so Gaga that it’s abstract yet it works. It’s camp that it’s a size of a football, it’s so sickening that they’re frozen yet they are doing a full 360. I yelled when this happened. I wanted more of this choreo. (But I did cringe whenever the big man carries her then shakes during telephone)
