I was revisiting old Gaga performances today and the 2009 VMA performance is always a MUST... but one thing that stuck out this time was the way the set resembled almost like an early version/idea of the MAYHEM ball set. I know she said this is the album that brings her back to her roots and inspiration, and honestly I understand it way more after going back and watching not only that performance but other ones she had done. 

Not sure if anyone else also noticed this or a thread had been made on this, but I really do think MAYHEM is Gaga truly going back to the artist she started out to become and I have so much more appreciation (if that was possible) now after taking a walk down memory lane. It makes me so happy to know one of my favorite artists really is one of the legends and I'm so happy I got to grow up watching her and how she has matured/evolved while also not changing who she is! Haha, I encourage all the fans to take that walk down memory lane whenever they feel there is a "low" or whatever, because it is such a reminder of the force of nature she is and how she is going to be remembered even after we are gone!

I thought the same! I think it's interesting that in one iteration she used it to tackle the duality of fame and opulence and in the other she used it to tackle the duality in herself. I always find it interesting how she returns to certain images or motifs with new intentions and meaning

Also squared with pretty well with the white lace Ga being killed and then fighting with red lace Ga (given Gaga appeared in white lace first during that performance then in red lace when she accepted the award). We stan a dramaturgically consistent QUEEN
