Who knows tbh! I feel like she definitely would've added Abracadabra but I can't think of anything she'd take out.. she did all the hits, had BTW to make a political stand, did her one very well known ballad, finished on her most well known song. I can't imagine where it would've fit. Her catalogue is almost too big now to even choose from..

I would've personally LIKED to have seen Million Reasons, Telephone, Just Dance cut and replaced with maybe a medley of Just Dance, Poker Face, Telephone. And of course the Dog Bless American intro cut for time. And Abracadabra added in and maybe Rain On Me. Imagine Ariana rising out of the stage for like 10 seconds to join ROM :laughga:

P.S. I just wanna say that the way she did the Superbowl was very strategic and made a lot of sense. It was the perfect setlist. The opportunity at the halftime massive, being the biggest stage in the world, with the most eyes on you at once, and from allll kinds of people, sports fans, the straights, wine moms, your nextdoor neighbour, everybody. Not just fans, her live shows are obviously tailored more for fans

That's why it's very important for them to utilise that time to remind everybody of her hits, and the songs they've heard in the background over the years. Starting with God Bless America for the political message that was so needed at the time (this land is your land, this land is my land, this was made for you and me.. with liberty and justice for ALL). Then the intro medley of Just Dance, Lovegame, Paparazzi, Edge Of Glory to include some of her biggest hits and create excitement. Born This Way because it's her most impactful song and for the socio-political message. Telephone because it was one of her biggest hits, it's a fun song, and Beyonce. Just Dance to pay respect to her first song/hit and for nostalgia and because everyone knows and loves that song. Million reasons because she had to have one ballad to remind everyone she's a real musician, master of vocals and piano, and it's the one ballad that the whole world knows. Ending on Bad Romance with a costume change because it's her most well known song and one of her biggest hits, if not the biggest. It was the perfectly crafted setlist

If she did it for the first time:

1. Bloody Mary / Abracadabra
2. Poker Face
3. Born This Way
4. The Edge of Glory or Rain On Me
5. Shallow / Die With A Smile
6. Vanish Into You / Bad Romance

I cut God Bless America and This Land is Your Land because it was cute in 2017 but right now with the mess that has been going on I'd hate it if she did it.

If this was the second time she does it:

1. Bloody Mary / Abracadabra / Judas
2. Killah / Zombieboy / Applause
3. Born This Way
4. Always Remember Us This Way / Die With A Smile
5. Vanish Into You

1. Abracadabra
2. Poker Face / Just Dance / Paparazzi (Short Medley)
3. Born This Way
4. Alejandro
5. Telephone
6. Applause / Rain On Me
7. Shallow (Mini Intro) / Die With A Smile
8. Bad Romance

Im not a big fan of Rain On Me, and its her most forgettable hit, but I think its important to include since its her only pop hit the past 15 years (other than Abracadabra). And I know people here are not the biggest Applause fan, but people still go crazy for that song.

I imagined this with the idea of duality in mind. First part is hard hitting, dramatic and theatrical. Second pæart is softer, hopeful and more GP friendly. I avoided the catholic songs (GOE, Judas, etc) both to avoid controversy in an effort to be realistic with the current political climate and to preserve her mental health. Also no repeat song from the first time. 

 

ACT I : SPELLS OF FAME AND MISFORTUNE

The first act is brightly lit with blinding white lights. A pristine white stage is set in the middle of a forest. It represents the illusion of fame and the light is almost too harsh. As the act progresses, the lights gradually darkens. The costumes are white, except for Gaga, who is wearing red. Over time, the dancers reveal patches of red on their costumes, almost as if Gaga is giving them her life force. Meanwhile, Gaga sheds a layer to reveal a faded, blood-stained bodysuit.

-

Abracadabra 

Perfect Celebrity

Monster 

Papparazzi 

-

Gaga is thrown to the beast by her dancers, who are now fully dressed in red. Her soul has been consumed. A costume change happens while the band continues playing the song, leading into a guitar solo.
-

ACT 2 : FROM A THORN GREW A BEAUTIFUL ROSE

Gaga emerges from the audience and walks toward a piano that appears to be growing out of a bush of black roses. The piano is made of tree branches, with visible claw marks carved into it. She is wearing a shredded pure white dress, her blonde hair is loose and flowy.

-

Shallow 

Die with a Smile

Vanish into you (piano, then pop version)

-

Gaga and her dancers disappear in a cloud of smoke. The stage is left empty with a single black rose in the center. The camera slowly closes in on it. Once the rose fills the frame, a red gloved hand with long pointy fingers reaches in to grab it. The image quickly cuts to black just before the hand gets to the rose.

imagining it's different than coach/copa/mayhem ball... 

 

Theatrical political intro, like 90 seconds of pre recorded speaking/singing/screaming etc still drones but extra gaggy and with ALL of intel's technology at her fingertips

similar medley of songs, i'm on the edge! poker face but less, etc. to knock a few out, another 90ish seconds

"the category is, dance or die," stadium explodes in red lighting, all dancers do ruveals to abra outfits, etc. very gaggy

Abra -> Bad Romance -> Born This Way -> Alejandro -> Shallow -> Disease:vegas:

Envisioning this as if she were doing something like the Netflix Christmas halftime show.  Sticking with the concept of the Mayhem Ball where Gaga players both herself and the Mistress of Mayhem:

Die with a Smile (short, song ends with Gaga "dying" and rising up as the Mistress of Mayhem)

Abracadabra (with Dance or Die intro)

Bad Romance

Poker Face 

Garden of Eden (with dance breaks, Gaga returns to playing herself)

Born This Way (Gaga defeats the Mistress of Mayhem, with Edge of Glory outro)

Shallow
