After missing the Chromatica Ball, I refused to miss the Mayhem Ball and honestly after seeing the previous tour on HBO Max, I am finally at peace with having to skip it due to being heavily pregnant. No shade, but her energy was just not there during that tour. For good reasons, I am not getting into.

The Mayhem Ball in Vegas made it so worth it though, especially going with my long-time friends. Literally friends because of Gaga, known each other since the Born This Way era type shit. Category is: black lace and sequins.

Anyway, here are all my fave shots from the show. My favorite song on Mayhem is “Killah” and baby, when I tell you she did not disappoint with this performance. “Shallow,” “Paparazzi,” “Disease,” and “Summerboy” got some of the biggest gasps out of me. The on-screen visuals, the stage design, the choreography were all so uniquely impressive and cohesive. Something I noted about her album when listening to it for the first time. Everything fit so silky and smooth.

It really feels like Gaga is in her actual element, like something clicked finally. Her vision in her head is coming to life in a way that makes sense to the rest of the public (Monsters always get her, but the general audience have been confused by her output in the past).

Had to separate out the screens with personal messages and the show’s acts. So gorgeous.

Do not recommend attending a concert in the summer in Las Vegas, unless you’re absolute certain you would die for this artist.

There was so many standout moments like I mentioned above, but one moment I couldn’t stop snapping was the tear-inducing, iconic “Paparazzi” moment. Oh my GOD.
