33 Thoughts I Had Watching Lady Gaga’s ‘Chromatica Ball’ Film

14. Imagine if she had brought out Blackpink to perform their song “Sour Candy” together? I would have passed out. It’s interesting that Gaga didn’t bring out any special guests for this tour. Then again, does she need to?

15. She’s now performing “Telephone.” Gaga was recently asked if she would ever team up with Beyoncé for a part two to the smash hit. She replied, “Whenever Beyoncé calls, I’d like to pick up the phone.” Such a tease.

16. I’m obsessed with her lead pianist, Brockett Parsons—specifically, the circular piano that he is playing. In the world of Gaga, nothing can be normal.

17. On to Act III. Gaga and her dancers are all coming out in gold for “Babylon.” Her gold suit is by Alexander McQueen. This song is so camp. She’s telling us to dance through our pain. “You better werk tonight, L.A.” Roger that!

18. I could listen to a whole remix track of Gaga just saying, “That’s gossip.” I find myself using it in everyday sentences. Am I late on filing this story? “That’s gossip.”

19. Gaga has now put on a gold cape by Topo Studio, and a gold Philip Treacy headpiece in the shape of a lobster claw. I wonder what the wardrobe budget was for this performance. More than my net worth, that’s for sure.

20. She’s now singing “Born This Way” on the piano, and saying it’s time to “celebrate your pride.” I remember getting super emotional when I heard this live. Gaga has done so much for the LGBTQ+ community and she always creates a safe space at her shows. “You’re perfect with a capital P.” No, you are.

21. Oh, shit, she’s now picking up the pace and doing full dance choreo. Huge flames are bursting out from the stage. I remember my spot at the concert being so close to said flames, and worrying that, like, my eyebrows would burn off. They were hot!

22. We’re on to Act IV, and this is the more slowed-down, piano-focused portion of the evening. Gaga’s voice is unreal, and I love that she created a moment in the show to strip things down and spotlight it.

23. Her Dead Lotus Couture bodysuit and alien-like headpiece are just so good. She’s singing “Shallow” from A Star Is Born. Everyone has their iPhone flashlights up.
