Lady Gaga's recent performance at Coachella showcased her profound connection with fans, as she delivered a heartfelt speech expressing gratitude during her set. Dressed in an extravagant costume, she declared her intent to create an opera house in the desert as a romantic gesture. This performance not only marked her return to the festival after 2017 but also represented her comeback to high-concept pop with her latest album "Mayhem." The show consisted of over two hours and 20 songs, highlighting her evolving artistry and emotional depth amidst life's chaos.
I wanted to make a romantic gesture to you this year in these times of mayhem. I decided to build you an opera house in the desert - for all the love and all the joy and all the strength you've given me my whole life.
Sometimes I feel like I went into a dream when I was like 20 years old. I've been in a dream ever since then, and I didn't know if I wanted to wake up, because what if you weren't there?
This wasn't Gaga's first time topping music's most prestigious festival. In 2017, she stepped in at the last minute to replace Beyoncé when the latter pulled out after announcing that she was pregnant.
Over two hours, 20 songs and as many costume changes as Coachella's tightly managed livestream would allow, Gaga mounted a lavish spectacle built around this year's 'Mayhem' album, which has been widely received as the singer's return to high-concept pop after a few years of acting and jazzing.
