The show consisted of four segments, with each segment being followed by a video interlude to the next segment, and it ended with an encore. The set list consisted of songs from her debut album, as well as an unreleased track called "Future Love". Gaga's performance involved multiple costume changes, and included an innovative dress made entirely of plastic bubbles. An alternate set list with minor changes were performed after the first North American leg of the tour. The show has received critical acclaim with critics complimenting her vocal clarity and fashion sense as well as her ability to pull off theatrics like a professional artist.

The tour was officially announced on January 12, 2009, through Gaga's official Myspace page. It was her first headlining tour; she has previously served as opening act for New Kids on the Block 's New Kids on the Block: Live tour, as well as The Pussycat Dolls ' Doll Domination Tour . [2] Gaga stated, "I consider what I do to be more of an Andy Warhol concept: pop performance art, multimedia, fashion, technology, video, film. And it's all coming together, and it's going to be traveling museum show." [3] Gaga started planning for the show while on the tour with The Pussycat Dolls. [4] In an interview with MTV News , she described the concert series:

"It's not really a tour, it's more of a traveling party. I want it to be an entire experience from [the] minute you walk in [the] front door to [the] minute I begin to sing. And when it's all over, everyone's going to press rewind and relive it again. [...] It's going to be as if you're walking into New York circa 1974: There's an art installation in the lobby, a DJ spinning your favorite records in the main room, and then the most haunting performance that you've ever seen on the stage. [...] I'm on the phone every minute of every day, talking to people, being creative, planning this Ball, and my tour manager is constantly saying, 'Come on, we have to go, we've got to go right now,' [...] But to me, the Ball is so important. I want so much to make every depression dollar that everyone spends on my show worth it. And, yeah, I'm paying a lot for it   — out of my own pocket. But that's OK. I just don't care about money." [4]

Gaga prepared three versions of her show to cater to different sizes of the venues she played. In an interview with Billboard she said,

"I am so mental and sleepless and excited for this tour, [...] This is so different than anything you've seen from me in the past year. What's fantastic about [the show] was I was able to plan it while I was on another tour that was on a much smaller scale, opening for the Dolls. This is going to be, like, the ultimate creative orgasm for me 'cause I'm ready to move on. I'm not restricted to a certain structure for my show anymore. No limitations. I'm free. [...] I want to have a clear schedule of the dimensions for each venue so that we can properly execute all the technology and visuals. I need to mentally prepare days in advance if things are going to be taken out; otherwise, I won't have a good show...Every show's gonna be an A show by the time I'm done screaming at everyone   – 'Hang it! Hang everything! Find a place to hang it!' That's gonna be my motto." [5]

The set list consisted of songs from her debut album mainly, but some new songs like "Fashion" from the Confessions of a Shopaholic soundtrack were also considered. [5] In May, during an interview with Edmonton Sun , Gaga announced that the tour would continue through European festivals in summer. She also declared plans for a bigger North American tour including Canada. Gaga explained that the show is supposed to be much bigger than the previous version. She said, "Oh, you have no idea, [...] The tour that we're about to announce is such a dream that I have to pinch myself almost every day to remind myself that it's happening." [6]

The show is mainly divided into four parts with the last part being the encore. The main show began with a video introduction called "The Heart" where Gaga appeared as alter-ego Candy Warhol . [7] She was shown dressing up and displayed the symbol of a pink heart on her T-shirt and said "My name is Lady Gaga, and this is my house." [8] The video was projected on a giant screen in front of the stage. As the video approached towards the end, a countdown from ten to one happened, Gaga's face was shown wearing the video sunglasses, and flames engulfed the screen as it dropped. Gaga appeared in the middle of the stage being surrounded by her dancers holding glass encrusted plates which camouflage them. She wore a futuristic black dress in geometric patterns with a triangular piece on her right breast and peplum . DJ Space Cowboy was present at a corner, playing the backing music. [8] Gaga came out in the center as the plates rolled around and started singing " Paparazzi ". [9]

The performance ends with continuous clicking of the camera. Gaga comes to the top of the pillar and sings a combination of "Starstruck" and " LoveGame " as she is joined by her dancers in tracks and jackets and hands Gaga her trademark disco stick. After "LoveGame", she talks a monologue about the year "3009". And says that "The kids came out of New York and shot the paparazzi." followed by saying "It was a thousand years before when the monster first entered the city, vanished for our hearts and for our brains and for our faces (referencing to the three video interludes of the tour)" and "we knew we could co-exist with this monster with our MUSIC!!! With our art and with our fashion. My name is Lady Gaga." and tells the crowd she feels "beautiful and dirty rich" and sang "Beautiful, Dirty, Rich". This leads to the end of the first part wherein a video introduction called "The Brain" starts with Gaga appearing again as Candy Warhol and brushing her hair. [9] After the video ends, Gaga appears on the stage in a black and white leotard with high-pointed "puff" shoulders and lightning shaped symbols, while riding on a similarly colored vespa . [7] She then starts singing "The Fame". This is followed by a speech. Gaga said she's been "travelling the whole world, but when I get back, I can still smell the stench of greed." And then she performs "Money Honey" with the dancers who are wearing backpacks. " Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) " starts immediately, accompanied by hand-waving and Gaga wore a hat made of toppled dominoes . [9]

Gaga then leaves the stage only to appear shortly after in a dress completely made of plastic bubbles. [9] She sits in front of a glass piano and starts singing an acoustic version of " Poker Face ". She sometimes puts her leg on the piano and even plays it with her stilettos. And then, thanks the audience and surprises them by performing an unreleased and new song called "Future Love" whose lyrics referenced far-off galaxies, mechanical hearts and constellations. [10] She was surrounded by a glowing mannequin while singing the song. [11] The stage had a blue setting with mechanical fog. Gaga left for a costume change as the third video interlude titled The Face starts.

After the video ended, she then came on the stage wearing a tutu shaped dress with pointed shoulder pads and peplum. Her dancers were clad in Louis Vuitton Steven Sprouse printed trousers which matched Gaga's shoes. [12] The backdrop changed to show blinking disco lights and Gaga stood in the center wearing her video sunglasses which display the line "Pop Music Will Never Be Low Brow". A remix of the intro for " Just Dance " started and Gaga was joined by her dancers on stage. When the song shifts to the bridge, Gaga once again is handed her disco stick and performs the bridge with it. The ending shifts to a remixed version of the song. Then Gaga and the dancers, joined by DJ Space Cowboy or DJ Nicodemus, take a bow in front of the audience. Gaga comes back with her dancers to perform the encore. The encore of the tour consisted of "Boys, Boys, Boys" and the original version of "Poker Face". Gaga was dressed in a khaki leotard embellished with crystals. She wore an admiral's cap and gloves on her hands, both were decorated with the word Gaga on them.

Sheri Linden from Yahoo! gave a positive review of the concert saying "Gaga's first theater tour is a hot ticket   – and the Lady did not disappoint. Borrowing from Madonna , Grace Jones , David Bowie and Daryl Hannah 's Blade Runner replicant , Gaga put on a compelling show revolving around her mysterious persona, a trio of leather-jacketed dancers, multiple costume changes and props and a lone DJ providing musical accompaniment." [13] Christopher Muther from The Boston Globe reviewed the concert in House of Blues and said "The combination of song and spectacle was crowd-pleasing and exhilarating. Her club-ready songs were delivered by a woman who is clearly studied, intelligent, and talented." [14] Lynn Saxberg from the Ottawa Citizen was also positive in her review, which she wrote after the concert at Bronson Centre in Ottawa and said, "Accompanied by a DJ who also played a funky electric guitar, the curvy dynamo (Gaga and Space Cowboy) fronted one of wildest spectacles ever mounted at Bronson Centre, an action-packed circus of sound, lights, video images, fog and choreography. Though heavy on theatrics, there was no skimping on the music." She also commented on Gaga's fashion sense and style in her costumes by saying, "In an hour, Gaga proved her star power by packing in all her hits, displaying influences that ranged from Motown to 80s pop , and exhibiting a fearless fashion sense in several costume changes, none of which covered her bum." [15] Whitney Pastorek of Entertainment Weekly gave a mixed review of the concert, saying, "Her onstage banter was at times a bit silly and the visuals occasionally lacking in coherent theme, but her voice was strong and refreshingly free of overbearing tracking vocals. For all her cocky bluster, perhaps the most undeniable aspect of Gaga's talent is this: The girl can, and does, sing." The show was described to be a "sartorial experimentation that it made Rocky Horror look like cotillion. One presumed the Lady approved   – and somewhere, to be sure, Andy Warhol stirred in his grave." [8]

Andy Downing from Chicago Tribune was impressed by the show at House of Blues and said "The work is paying off. Just weeks into her first nationwide headlining tour, the 22-year-old New Yorker [...] already commands the stage like a seasoned pro." [9] Jill Menze from Billboard also gave a positive review for the performance and complimented songs like "Just Dance", "LoveGame", "Poker Face", "Boys Boys Boys" and the fame obsessed "Paparazzi". The reviewer also said that "[From] her chart success, Lady Gaga has proven herself to be an of-the-moment pop sensation. Dig deeper, and it's clear she's versatile and talented enough to have staying power." [16] Mikel Wood from Rolling Stone also gave a positive review saying "The tongue-in-cheek tabloid-victim shtick that provides some laughs on The Fame grew somewhat tiresome at the Wiltern, especially when the singer started spewing half-baked media-studies nonsense like, 'Some say Lady Gaga is a lie'... Fortunately, this is a woman who knows how to lighten a mood: Within 10 minutes or so, she'd donned a flesh-colored leotard and a bedazzled admiral's cap and was rhyming 'boys in cars' with 'buy us drinks in bars'." [17] Craig Rosen from The Hollywood Reporter said that "Lady Gaga showed she's a serious contender to Madonna's crown [...]. She might be a relative newcomer, but the artist born Stefani Joanne Germanotta commanded the stage with a royal air during her hourlong set, at times even sporting a glowing scepter." [11]

Audio 》 Studio versions The Fame Ball Tour Studio Versions

The Fame Ball Tour  was the debut concert tour by  Lady Gaga , in support of her debut studio album,  The Fame  released in 2008. The tour went through two alterations that are similar as both used nearly all the same interludes, backdrops and songs but executed in a different way. The first half of the tour had a DJ doing the mixing and playing the tracks while the second half had a live band instead. For the Australian leg of the  Doll Domination Tour , Gaga used a shortened version of the first Fame Ball.

Two weeks after the cancellation of her “Fame Kills” tour with Kanye West, Lady Gaga has announced the details of a solo tour and revealed the tracklist for “The Fame Monster,” the re-release of her debut album due Nov. 23. Described by Gaga as “the first-ever ‘pop electro opera,'” “The Monster Ball” tour kicks off Nov. 27 in Montreal, Canada and will hit North American 16 cities before ending with a two-night stand Jan. 20-21 at New York’s Radio City Music Hall. “A message to all my little monsters: ‘The Fame Monster’ will come out four days before the first live show,” said Gaga in a statement. “You have exactly 96 hours to learn all of the lyrics so you can sing along. Dress accordingly.” Rapper Kid Cudi — a protege of West who recently released his debut album, “Man on the Moon: The End of Day” — will open for Gaga on “The Monster Ball” tour. “The Fame Monster” will feature a second disc with eight new songs, including “Bad Romance,” which Gaga premiered at the Alexander McQueen show during Paris Fashion Week. “The Fame” has sold 1,517,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Gaga first announced her plans to hit the road solo on Oct. 2 at Billboard’s Women in Music event, where she accepted the Rising Star award. The news came just one day after her “Fame Kills” tour with West was cancelled because, according to Gaga, West would be “taking a break” in light of fallout from his incident with Taylor Swift at the MTV VMAs. Here are the dates for Lady Gaga’s “The Monster Ball” tour: Nov. 27: Montreal, Quebec (The Bell Center) Nov. 28: Toronto, Ontario (Air Canada Center) Nov. 29: Ottawa, Ontario (Scotiabank Place) Dec. 1-2: Boston, Mass. (Wang Center) Dec. 3: Camden, N.J. (Susquehanna Bank Center) Dec. 9-10: Vancouver, B.C. (Queen Elizabeth Theatre) Dec. 13: San Francisco, Calif. (Bill Graham Civic Auditorium) Dec. 18: Las Vegas, Nev. (TBD) Dec. 19: San Diego, Calif. (San Diego Sports Arena) Dec. 21: Los Angeles, Calif. (Nokia Theatre) Dec. 29: Atlanta, Ga. (The Fox Theatre) Dec. 31: Miami, Fla. (James L. Knight Center) Jan. 3: Orlando, Fla. (Hard Rock Live) Jan. 7: St. Louis, Mo. (The Fox Theatre) Jan. 8-9: Chicago, Ill. (The Chicago Theatre) Jan. 12: Detroit, Mich. (The Fox Theatre) Jan. 16: Atlantic City, N.J. (Borgata) Jan. 20-21: New York, N.Y. (Radio City Music Hall) And here is the tracklist for the new songs of “The Fame Monster”: “Bad Romance” “Alejandro” “Monster” “So Happy I Could Die” “Speechless” “Dance in the Dark” “Telephone” “Teeth”

Amazing.  

I'm thinking there is a little Sugababes break in-between acts 4 and 5 where Siobhan gets on stage and sings Overrated Medevac Don't Give it Up and Mutya does a solo performance of Real Girl.

Inside The Monster Ball: Lady Gaga Reveals Plans for Ambitious New Tour

By Brian Hiatt

Brian Hiatt

J ust two weeks after Lady Gaga ‘s Fame Kills Tour with Kanye West was cancelled, the ambitious pop star announced plans for an unprecedented “multimedia artistic experience” called The Monster Ball . The show was originally slated to premiere in London in early 2010, but the singer rallied her Haus of Gaga and is set to launch the trek on November 27th, four days after the release of The Fame Monster . Rehearsals for The Monster Ball begin next week and details about the show have been scarce until now. Lady Gaga revealed the tour’s theme, stage design and plans for The Fame Monster in an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone . For more details on the tour, see our story in the next issue, on stands October 28th.

Look back at Lady Gaga’s most memorable fashion moments.

Can you talk about the songs on The Fame Monster ? This is a new album. It’s eight songs, I could have put more songs on it, but I just decided not to because I thought they fit beautifully together. I’m really excited about all my new work, and I’ve been going through some really wonderful times and some really rough times all at once, so it’s been really good for my artistry. On the re-release, I wrote this song called “Speechless,”which I think is the best song I’ve ever written. It’s about my dad, it’s a really beautiful ballad. It’s piano-driven, and there’s no beat on it, it’s all live instruments. I produced it with Ron Fair, so we did a full live orchestra, recorded everything with live drums, live guitar and bass with me playing piano. We got that really organic, delicious feeling.

What was the thinking behind The Monster Ball? I wanted to really put together a show that would be the most beautiful, expensive-looking, delicious show, but that my fans wouldn’t have to pay a ton of money to come see. So we’re playing a few nights in a row. I’ve got super loyal fans, so I feel this tremendous obligation to take care of them.

Editor’s picks

Every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term, the 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history.

You said it was a pop-electro opera. Yeah. It’s the first ever, so it’s really whatever I want it to be. The theatrics and story elements are in the style of an opera. Imagine if you could take the sets of an opera, which are very grand and very beautiful, and put them through a pop-electro lens. The design of the show is very, very forward, very, very innovative. I’ve been thinking about ways to play with the shape of this stage and change the way that we watch things. So what I’ve done is I’ve designed a stage with Haus of Gaga that is essentially a frame with forced perspective, and the frame is put inside the stage.

It’s got kind of a triangular inset, like a diamond, and everywhere we’re playing, the dimensions fit this box that I’m bringing, so it’s this giant box that fits into every show. So no matter where I go, my fans get the same experience. So often you go into theaters and there’s ambient light flying in from all sorts of places, and the audience is in different spots, and the stage is in different shapes and lengths and widths and depths, so this is a way for me to control all the light and all of the different elements of the show. The theme of the show is evolution.

How will that theme express itself? Each one of these songs on my album represents a different demon that I’ve faced in myself, so the music is much more personal. I don’t write about fame or money at all on this new record. So we talked about monsters and how, I believe, that innately we’re all born with the monsters already inside of us — I guess in Christianity they call it original sin — the prospect that we will, at some point, sin in our lives, and we will, at some point, have to face our own demons, and they’re already inside of us. So we talked about growth, and that led us into this kind of scientific space, and we started talking about evolution and the evolution of humanity and how we begin as one thing, and we become another.

This is the first time you’ve had the resources to do a tour the way you wanted. You’ve visualized ambitious things before, but you probably weren’t able to do it to this extent. No, I couldn’t, but there was one major ingredient that was missing, and that’s my fans. Now, I have the inspiration of my fans, and I know what they want. I think there’s a lot of artists that are very self-serving, but I’m not one of them. When I create and make music, I make music that my fans want to hear. My record label didn’t want to put out that photo that’s my album cover, with the brown hair.

Lady Gaga Unveils Fiery Trailer for 'Chromatica' Ball Concert Film

They found it too confusing? It was World War III. They were like, “It’s confusing, it’s too dark, you look gothic, it’s not pop,” and I said, “You don’t know what pop is, because everyone was telling me I wasn’t pop last year, and now look — so don’t tell me what pop is, I know what pop is.” It’s funny, because I fought and fought and fought, and I actually ended up having two covers, because I wanted to do this yin and yang presentation with the covers. When I go to see what my fans are saying, I go onto GagaDaily — they see the cover and say, “I don’t really like the blonde one, but the brown one is fucking sick. They love it, and I know what they love, so I make it for them, I don’t care what anybody else wants.

Were there elements of the Fame Kills Tour with Kanye West that were going to be in The Monster Ball? I’m certainly inspired by what we were doing, but I made a decision based on integrity not to use any of the things that we had designed together.

So it’s the great lost tour, then. Yeah, probably. I guess that’s kind of perfectly epic, isn’t it, though? Isn’t that exactly what’s supposed to happen? It just wasn’t the right timing. I don’t want to embellish on it too much, because I want to respect Kanye’s privacy. But we just had our own reasons. We’re real friends, real friends can make decisions like that, and we wanted to keep the momentum going in terms of pop music staying innovative with hip-hop and R&B, and we really wanted to do it, and it just wasn’t the right time. But who’s to say what will happen in the future?

Is this tour going to include the band and dancers we saw on SNL ? It’s going to be much bigger, but I love my guys. My dancers that are with me now have been with me for two years. I just shot a music video for “Bad Romance” and the Haus of Gaga did the whole art direction for it. We worked with Francis Lawrence, he’s a movie director, and he almost never does music videos anymore, and I’m really impressed, even with myself — it’s so amazing. That’s another thing that keeps me going, when you have moments of adversity and challenge in your life, you have to dig deep. It’s my music and my sadness that runs into one another and mutates and gives me the ability to make new things.

Have you already begun to plan the show’s fashion? The fashion, certainly, is going to be another exploration and another level from where we were with the Fame Ball. The theme of monsters is certainly going to be an influence, as well as the theme of evolution and change. It’s going to be a truly artistic experience that is going to take the form of the greatest post-apocalyptic house party that you’ve ever been to.

Taylor Swift debuts ‘Tortured Poets’ songs live as Eras Tour resumes

Swift made some significant changes to the 3-hour-and-15-minute set when she kicked off the European leg of her record-shattering tour Thursday after a two-month break.

Taylor Swift’s record-shattering Eras Tour has essentially been a well-oiled, steady machine since it launched in March 2023 — she switched up a few songs on occasion, but mostly stuck to the same set list during the 3-hour-and-15-minute spectacle. And Swift’s loyal fan base has spent hours studying footage from around the world, with millions tuning in on fan-hosted live-streams to memorize every detail.

But on Thursday, Swift made some significant changes to the show for the first time as the tour kicked off its European leg at Paris La Défense Arena in Nanterre, France, for the first of four sold-out concerts. As many predicted, she debuted live performances of her songs from her 11th studio record, “The Tortured Poets Department,” a double album that contains 31 tracks and sold the equivalent of 2.61 million albums in its first week (combining physical sales and streams) when it dropped in mid-April .

“You are so present and it means the world to us as performers when you show up to a concert and when you act this way. … It makes us want to show you all kinds of fun surprises,” Swift, 34, told the extremely enthusiastic audience early in the night, calling the Eras Tour “the best experience of my life, honestly.”

The concert was live-streamed by fans on TikTok. One viewed by The Post featured a news ticker running at the bottom of the video with updates about the show: new outfits, new video screen visuals, a new order for some of the songs. Swift, who divides her set list into “eras” from her 18-year career, kicked off the “Tortured Poets” era about two hours into the concert with “But Daddy I Love Him” — a track that many interpret to be a message to her fan base about their, ah, extreme interest in her love life and the men she dates.

The Style section

“I’ll tell you something about my good name, it’s mine alone to disgrace,” Swift sang, running back and forth across the stage throughout. “… God save the most judgmental creeps who say they want what’s best for me, sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I’ll never see.” At the end, she sat down with her dancers and added a verse from “So High School” with lines that include “You know how to ball; I know Aristotle” — thought to be a reference to her boyfriend , the very famous football player Travis Kelce. (Swift did not sit for any interviews about the album and has provided very little detail for the ideas behind the lyrics.)

Even if they were being scolded, the fans loved it. The ecstatic screaming and cheering continued in the audience as Swift continued through “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?,” which appears to detail the downsides of fame, along with breakup anthems “Down Bad” and “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,” along with her new single with Post Malone, “Fortnight.” Swift added all kinds of new dance routines and set pieces, including one that made it look as if she were levitating across the stage.

And she performed a brief play before “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” an upbeat track about how she was able to perform on the Eras Tour even through heartbreak. Two magicians dragged her lifeless body to another part of the stage where they “forced” her to change into another sparkly outfit as she rolled her eyes and reluctantly got ready to dance.

“So you were the first crowd ever to see ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ chapter of the Eras Tour!” Swift said cheerfully during the next set where she played a couple of surprise acoustic songs. “Or as I like to call it, ‘Female Rage: The Musical.’”

Otherwise, many chapters of the show stayed the same. Though some wondered whether Swift would simply extend the concert to four hours, she cut six songs overall and condensed the “Folklore” and “Evermore” eras into one, explaining that she considers them “sister albums” because she recorded them during the same year early in the pandemic.

“I’ve always thought ‘Folklore’ to me represents spring and summer and ‘Evermore’ represents fall and winter. So on the Eras Tour, we have now reunited the sisters and combined them into one chapter,” she said. She wrapped up the concert with “Karma” a little after 11 p.m. Paris time after running through 45 songs, and thanked her dancers and band for learning all the new material.

The European leg of the Eras Tour will run through mid-August, and the tour will resume in the United States and Canada in the fall.

Lady Gaga Will 'Never Forget' Chromatica Ball Tour as She Unveils Trailer for Upcoming Max Concert Special

"I'm so excited that we can finally share The Chromatica Ball film with the world," said the Grammy winner alongside the concert special announcement

Are you ready to return to Chromatica with Lady Gaga ?

On Wednesday, May 8, the Grammy-winning superstar unveiled the trailer and release date for her long-awaited HBO Original concert special, Gaga Chromatica Ball , chronicling her 2022 stadium tour in support of her 2020 album, Chromatica .

Produced, directed and created by Gaga, the upcoming feature is a taped version of the Chromatica Ball concert at the 52,000-capacity Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Sept. 10, 2022. The setlist includes classic hits from "Just Dance," "Poker Face" and "Born This Way" to more recent songs like "Shallow" and "Stupid Love."

Alongside the trailer reveal, the "Rain on Me" singer, 38, posted to social media with a lengthy note about the film, which will become available to stream via Max on May 25. "I’m so excited that we can finally share The Chromatica Ball film with the world," she began.

"This film chronicles a time of immense creativity…the fashion, the dance, the music," Gaga wrote. "Revisiting the tour leaves me speechless the way we had each other — you all showed up for music and art in a big way, and with a level of excitement and freedom that I will never forget. Stadium after stadium. Sold out crowds. The deafening singalongs."

" Chromatica was colorful revenge. The chaos of it all became pure energy and life. With a texture best experienced live," continued Gaga, before quoting lyrics from the Chromatica track "Babylon": "Strut it out, walk a mile / Serve it ancient city style."

The Joker: Folie à Deux star added, "Self-acceptance is a theme that cuts through all my songs. I believe it is always possible to dig deep and find your greatness. Self-discovery is an art. Self-love is a practice."

Gaga then turned her attention to the fans, concluding, "I love you monsters more than I can say. See yourself in every vocal, every fabric choice, the choreography, every image… Here’s the truth—no matter where life or my career has taken me, my time with you always is a path back to a very powerful part of myself. In a stadium filled with YOU it came to life. Thank you for that feeling. I hope you will feel seen when you watch this film. And know that I edited it carefully to honor you."

Chromatica was released in May 2020 and spawned No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Stupid Love" and "Rain on Me" featuring Ariana Grande , the latter of which earned a Grammy Award for best pop duo/group performance the following year. The Chromatica Ball tour spanned 20 shows across Asia, North America and Europe from July 2022 through September 2022.
