Sold-out show like Lady Gaga Smuggled Cake for Lady Gaga

The latest touring data is in, and "The Mayhem Ball" has officially cemented its place in the history books. Lady Gaga has reached a massive career milestone, as this trek becomes her first-ever tour to surpass the $300 million mark in total ticket sales. With 74 out of 87 shows currently reported, the numbers are staggering: the tour has grossed $317,713,088 so far, with a total of 1,473,528 tickets sold. This puts the average gross at roughly $4.29 million per night, with an average ticket price of $215.61. A major driver of this success has been the U.S. leg, which has officially overtaken "The Monster Ball" (2009-11) as her highest-grossing domestic tour. The first 36 shows in the States alone pulled in $136.9 million, proving that the demand for this production is at an all-time high. Recent multi-night highlights include: Inglewood (The Forum): $14.2M from 4 shows (53,847 attendees) Fort Worth (Dickies Arena): $7.2M from 2 shows (23,004 attendees) Glendale (Diamond Arena): $7.1M from 2 shows (26,926 attendees) Austin (Moody Center): $7.0M from 2 shows (24,158 attendees) Atlanta (State Farm Arena): $6.7M from 2 shows (23,250 attendees) Every reported date has been a 100% sell-out. With 4 shows still left to be officially reported, the final total is likely to climb significantly higher. It’s clear that this era is a commercial juggernaut for Gaga, setting a new standard for her future touring cycles. What do you all think the final gross will be once the last few shows are concluded?

Lady Gaga Announces Las Vegas Residency Featuring “Living Hologram” of Tony Bennett In a surprise announcement that has left fans both emotional and slightly confused, Lady Gaga revealed plans for a brand-new Las Vegas residency titled “Cheek to Cheek: Eternal.” The show will reportedly feature a groundbreaking holographic performance of the late Tony Bennett. According to insiders, the residency will take place at an undisclosed venue on the Strip and promises to “redefine legacy performances.” Gaga described the project as “a love letter to timeless music and friendship that transcends reality.” The production is said to use next-generation AI-assisted holography, allowing Bennett’s likeness to not only perform classic duets, but also react dynamically to Gaga’s live vocals each night. Sources claim the system has been trained on decades of Bennett’s performances, interviews, and “emotional nuances.” One anonymous technician involved in the project stated: “This isn’t just playback. The hologram can adjust phrasing, timing—even humor. In one rehearsal, he apparently told Gaga to ‘slow down, kid’ mid-song.” The setlist is rumored to include classics like “The Lady Is a Tramp,” “Anything Goes,” and an extended jazz reinterpretation of “Shallow,” which insiders describe as “unexpectedly convincing.” Fans online have already begun debating the ethics of the concept, while others are simply excited to see the duo reunited in some form. Gaga addressed the concerns briefly: “Tony always believed music lives forever. This is just… a new way of proving it.” Tickets are expected to go on sale “very soon,” though the official announcement page currently displays only a black screen with the message: “Music never says goodbye.” Thank you Michael

Idk. Why are we posting our genitals on instagram?

I would also like to correct something people often misinterpret even as fans. Joanne as an ALBUM was not about her aunt, it was DEDICATED to her aunt’s memory. Only the title song is about her aunt and she wrote it from her father’s perspective. The album is actually pretty much a coming of age album where she questions who she is and her life up until that point and decides what’s important to her. “I am Joanne, I am my father’s daughter” is the quote she used in FiveFootTwo because she basically said she felt sheltered by her father growing up and never understood why until she basically understood real loss in her adult life. The whole album is about Gaga, her life and her relationship with Taylor (and subsequent breakup) up until that point.

Ok but did you know there’s a tunnel under ocean boulevard?

That’s so sweet but we know for a fact her team is gonna bin that **** afterwards skdhdjd mostly for safety in case it’s poisoned or whatever but still the thought counts. Also I know that cake must be SWEATY af in that crowd

Larsson says that Midnight Sun’s cultural moment is a happy accident. It was a fan who paired her and Clean Bandit’s 2017 hit Symphony with kaleidoscopic dolphin art for a viral TikTok in 2024; Larsson just leaned into her marketing savvy to bring Y2K mermaid-core style to Midnight Sun. After fans started creating DIY versions of her airbrushed baby tees, she introduced a moment in her show where she spray-paints one for a lucky fan. Has she learned that her instincts are better than a record label’s? “Yes,” she replies instantly. “I get this weekly data update of my chart positions and monthly listeners from my label. And it’s not interesting to me to look at because that’s last week’s data. It’s already old. I want to ask, ‘What are we creating, what are we doing now?’” She is putting the finishing touches to a Midnight Sun deluxe edition with all-women guest stars. Her label, Epic, “want me to release a new song before it drops to tease it”, she says. “And I’m like: it ruins the project and the specific rollout that I have planned.” It’s all a play for stats, which she finds depressing: “Playing the chart game is so dead to me. No one’s looking at the charts but industry people and maybe Taylor Swift fans.” Sometimes fame can feel like a Faustian bargain, with scrutiny, sexism and presidential subtweets coming as part of the package. As her star has kept rising, Larsson has been wondering if there are limits to how much fame she can take. Could she handle it if she was as famous as, say, Chappell Roan, now in regular standoffs with the paparazzi? “The more people hate her, the more I love her,” says Larsson. “I don’t like how she’s being treated at all. When a woman has boundaries, I think people freak out. Men can do violent criminal things and people applaud them, but when a woman says, ‘Stop following me,’ it’s controversial? It’s like: you guys just hate women, actually. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2026/apr/03/zara-larsson-popstar-interview-on-fame-fun-fighting-the-power-lush-life

Well, guess what? Slayyyter is back and she’s better (and more awful!) than ever. After staring down 30, experiencing a career lull, and contemplating quitting music altogether, the singer staked her future in the industry on the fate of her fourth record. There’s nothing like a kick in the ass: On WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA, she comes screaming onto the beat with fresh urgency. Deploying a series of small tweaks that nonetheless feel like a total reinvention, Slayyyter doubles down on misbehavior while simultaneously opening up new lanes of creative potential. Slayyyter is the beneficiary of a shifting tide that’s given mainstream pop a gradual and intermittent willingness to meet unique artists on their own terms, provided they have something exciting to offer. In a phenomenon that’s now clearly downstream from BRAT, singers who’d been written off or long overlooked are now hotter than ever. The Khia asylum was revealed to have been a prison of the audience’s imaginations. On the cusp of quitting outright, Slayyyter’s contrarian impulse has proven to be the correct one. https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/slayyyter-worst-girl-in-america/

I mean, look at what they've picked as president twice.

Why is it trendy to hate on Hold My Hand? It is literally one of her best ballads. People lack so much taste OMG

To be fair Madonna was there when dancing and floors were invented so

Very poor taste. If I pay for a bag, do not tell me what I can put in it.

She basically said that the album was about all the different sides of her at once, she didn’t feel like sticking to a theme or concept or sound. Musically it’s about her career thus far, her relationship with Michael and sonically it’s basically a modernised version of HER sound that she claims from her early albums. So basically it’s meant to be like like TF, TFM, BTW & ARTPOP rolled into one. You can hear all her influences on there from Bowie to Elton to Michael Jackson but there’s also some music that feels very Gaga and not inspired by other people like Abra and Garden which are VERY TF & TFM coded. HBDUWM is also BTW coded because of its 80s synth pop sound ala Yazoo. Basically I call it her “womanhood” album, Joanne was her coming of age and trying to find her way with who she is. So this is her finally finding and accepting herself. It’s her first album that has been TRULY made in peace, there feels like there’s no longer trauma for her to write about and it’s more a victorious album.

I think people overestimate how Taylor’s longevity occurred tbh, Taylor’s happened because she re-released her albums starting with the most popular ones and thus got a fanbase out of people who didn’t grow up with her original debut (she’s been around longer than Gaga but didn’t get anywhere near Gaga’s fame till about 2012 with Red- Fearless did well in the US though but Red made her international). She essentially hacked/cheated the system by making already successful music be released again benefitting from a pre-existing fanbase and a new one who may have never heard her music before. Gaga could easily do the same now if she was hollow but she has lost interest in chart success (despite still getting it), she’s 40 now and has managed to have multiple hit singles over the last 5 years which is amazing in hindsight. Gaga went the route Beyoncé did and made herself into someone new qnd more sophisticated. She could’ve remade TFM a million times over, used old demos even but she didn’t. Taylor may have Madonna’s (albeit inflated) numbers, but Gaga is the only female popstar beyond Britney to be directly compared to her so much so Madonna tried to come for her and failed (and hasn’t been successful since ironically). Plus Gaga has a generation of popstars now admitting they’re heavily inspired by her, and she’s being a loving icon. She’s not suing her fans or demanding writing credits like Taylor did with Olivia Rodrigo. Gaga’s inspired Sam Smith, Cardi B, Ariana Grande, Addison Rae, Tate McRae, Chappell Roan, Ava Max, Slayyyter and many more artists too. And she’s a touring force who is a known amazing vocalist and musician, she’s also now a Lead Producer of her own music as of Mayhem. The legacy speaks for itself. She’s closer to Cher, Bowie and Elton than Madonna these days.

Monsters, In various threads for the past day or so, I’ve seen a lot of hate for KFL. I wanted to make a little thread for those of us who LOVE it to celebrate the song together. I think it’s impeccable. That drumroll at the beginning of the song. It gets me so hype, especially when the synths crash in. The synths! The soaring chorus! The way it demands a shoulder dance (as many of her best songs do). The fun bridge! The horns! I love KFL. Shout out to anyone else who does too. (Also DCT, lots of hate for it and it slaps)

I get people might be happy but the fact a literal nazi has this success? Girl

That girl in your head is cheap, how bad do u wanna be cheap?

She legit went to the Kia Asylum. Dont come for me i dont know cars

F.AGU… obviously Gaga’s pseudonym. Clever use of a slur with a French accent.

Almost every Beyoncé song.

If someone says almost every Beyoncé song i swear to God i-

I’m surprised it’s still up on IG

Tylor Swift was sued by a Las Vegas performer on Monday who said Swift's latest hit album "The Life of a Showgirl" violates her trademark rights. Maren Wade said in ‌the complaint, opens new tab that marketing for Swift's album threatened to "drown out" her long-running "Confessions of a Showgirl" stage show and asked the court to block Swift from creating confusion with her album title. In 2014, Wade, who appeared on America’s Got Talent, began writing a column in the Las Vegas Weekly called “Confessions of a Showgirl” about her experiences as a performer in the entertainment industry. Since then, it’s also become a podcast and live show featuring pop and jazz music. Her trademark covers live stage performances, theatrical productions and TV, among other things. According to the filing, Wade is seeking a court order blocking Swift’s use of the branding, along with disgorgement of profits, treble damages, and attorneys’ fees. x x full lawsuit: x
