Where do we even begin? Ever since Lady Gaga announced her return to Singapore, excitement has been building to fever pitch – in the Time Out Singapore office, on social media, and practically across the entire island. Finally, Mother Monster is back in full force, and fans – or little monsters – are here for it.
The energy was electric even before the show began. Despite the rainy weather, spirits stayed high as devoted fans turned up in full costume: think lace, leather, latex and everything in between.
There was no opening act for the concert, so the anticipation only grew as the crowd waited for the main event – Lady Gaga. Once the pop icon finally took the stage, it was clear that this wasn’t just a concert – it was a full-blown theatrical spectacle.
Gaga’s show was divided into several acts, each with its own elaborate set and costume changes. From giant Greek-style columns to a sand pit and a skull-covered piano, the stage design was bold and immersive.
Her choreography was powerful and razor-sharp, made even more impressive considering the star lives with fibromyalgia, a chronic condition that causes muscle and joint pain. Her fierce, expressive performance style might surprise newcomers, but it’s all part of her artistic flair. In between numbers, Gaga also took time to speak to the crowd saying, “ You are so very special to me. My little monsters in Singapore, thank you for coming to our show.”
Supporting her were equally magnetic dancers who held their own with stunning routines that made the interludes engaging for us to watch, as we waited for Gaga to switch hairstyles and costumes.
Lady Gaga will be performing for three more nights at the National Stadium in Singapore.
Time Out tip: If you need a quick toilet break, duck out during the video interludes between Acts One and Two, and again between Acts Three and Four.
