Before kicking off her Mayhem Ball arena tour this summer, Lady Gaga is performing what appears to be her Coachella set—with some tweaks, of course—in other countries: Mexico, Brazil, and Singapore. Her first stop was Mexico City last night.
Madré Mons†er delivered a heartfelt speech in Spanish and even performed Blade of Grass live for the VERY first time; read the speech transcript and watch the performance video under the cut! (As a bonus: check out the ONTD post for the last Mexico City performance she references.)
“Dear Little Monsters,
It's such an honor to be here tonight in your beautiful country, performing for everyone. It's been 13 years since I was last in Mexico, and coming back has been so special.
I hope you feel, in every detail of tonight's show, how much effort I put into showing how much I admire and respect each of you. Everything was done with a lot of love and dedication.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for choosing to spend this evening with me. It means the world to me.
Mexico City has a very special place in my heart because it was here that I ended my first stadium tour, the Monster Ball. I will never forget the emotion and passion you shared with me at that farewell, the most important show of my career so far.
Today, being able to experience this again with you is a gift. And the most beautiful thing is that, this time, we are not ending a cycle—we are starting a new one.
With all my love,
Lady Gaga”
