Reuters: American singer Lady Gaga returned to a massive audience for the first time in eight years to headline the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Friday night, dancing with model skeletons, fighting a dancer dressed as a monster and serving up a surprise encore.
Lady Gaga weaved together songs from her 2025 “Mayhem” album as well as older ones, including “Judas,” “Born This Way,” and “Poker Face.”
In typically flamboyant style, she raced through costume changes, including a red gown, a black leotard, a feathery white dress and metallic armor with a cape.
To match her dedication to dressing up, fans also opted for statement pieces to honor the singer.
“I love her artistry,” Jay Green from Florida said as he stood alongside a group of friends.
Diane Leeds from Northern California, who has been attending Coachella for years, donned a giant flower headband.
Lady Gaga, an LGBTQ+ icon who affectionately calls her fans “Little Monsters,” is known for activism within the community and openness about being a bisexual.
The singer, songwriter and actor is known for upbeat pop music that incorporates electropop, dance, rock, house, jazz and experimental genres.
