Lady Gaga's surprise guests
Lady Gaga brought out two famous faces from Wednesday during her performance of 'Dead Dance', while at her opening night in London. The singer was joined on stage by Emma Myers and Evie Templeton who play the roles of Enid and Agnes in the hit Netflix series.
Who supported her on tour in the UK?
No one supported Lady Gaga in the traditional sense. Instead, fans of the singer were encouraged to arrive early for a 'pre-show element', which set the tone for the rest of the show.
How did she announce the tour?
Lady Gaga announced her UK shows on social media telling her fans she hadn't originally been thinking of touring. She explained: 'I wasn’t planning to tour this year after my shows in Singapore but the incredible response to the new album inspired me to keep things going.
'It came together super quickly thanks to Arthur Fogel and the amazing team at Live Nation, who planned a global tour in just a few weeks. We chose arenas this time to give me the opportunity to control the details of the show in a way you simply can’t in stadiums—and honestly, I can’t wait.
'This show is designed to be the kind of theatrical and electrifying experience that brings MAYHEM to life exactly how I envision it. The MAYHEM Ball Tour is officially coming your way. See you soon, monsters.'
In a press release, Lady Gaga said of her tour announcement: "This is my first arena tour since 2018. There’s something electric about a stadium, and I love every moment of those shows. But with The MAYHEM Ball, I wanted to create a different kind of experience—something more intimate—closer, more connected—that lends itself to the live theatrical art I love to create."
The singer has already released several songs from her album including 'Die with a Smile' with Bruno Mars, 'Disease' and 'Abracadabra'.
'Mayhem' is Lady Gaga's seventh studio album. It was released on 7th March after a lot of teasing which included the singer saying the album was nothing like she'd ever done before. On the release day, the singer opened up further about the album telling her fans about her return to 'dark pop'.
She said: "(It took) Many months a lot of hard work in the studio. There's something kind of method about the way I make my records, and I kind of become characters through the music, and I still do that, but I've learned how to not let it completely take me over.
"And so, I would say I returned to it because it felt safe to. And maybe that's why I didn't for a really long time, because it felt maybe, like too much... Which was hard because I knew you really wanted that. So I'm sorry, but also, it was too hard, but we're OK now. Bring it on!"
After initially announcing just four UK dates she then added two more, one in London and one in Manchester.
