Lady Gaga performed in Paris last night (Nov. 24) for the final stop on her massive, six-month long artRAVE: The ARTPOP Ball tour. Gaga visited 79 cities during the jaunt and it all culminated with a huge, two-hour performance in the City of Light, SPIN notes. Highlights included "Paparazzi," "You and I," "Bad Romance" and multiple wardrobe changes.
Mother Monster was emotional before and after the concert extravaganza, which was streamed live via Yahoo Screen and can be seen below. "I hope that you always remember this time in our lives together," she said, Yahoo Music notes. "When we painted each other's faces and called each other 'Monster' and talked about love and art all night long."
When fans began throwing gifts and personal notes onstage, Gaga shared one with the crowd written by a member of the LGBT community. "You taught me that it's OK to be different," the fan wrote. "I remember when my father was beating me to death, I couldn't think about anybody but you, Gaga." The singer brought that fan onstage to offer encouragement and a stirring rendition of "Born This Way."
Gaga also covered Cher during the performance with a rendition of "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)," which also appeared on her recent album with Tony Bennett, Cheek to Cheek.
"When this song is over," she said before the end of the show, "the clock will start ticking. Until next time. Thank you for believing in me always."
Cheek to Cheek came out in September and went to number one on the Billboard 200 and Top Jazz Albums charts. They've released a few videos from the effort and the pair will be ringing in the New Year together in Las Vegas to perform songs from the album.
