I recently saw Lady Gaga in concert for her Monster Ball tour with Kid Cudi. To my disappointment, Kid Cudi canceled and dropped out of her tour. My boyfriend said he was not all that disappointed but I was. This is how it started. He is a fan of Kid Cudi not so much of Lady Gaga and I am a huge huge huge fan of Lady Gaga and… not so much of Kid Cudi.As I joke, I told him “I will go watch Lady Gaga if she ever tours with Kid Cudi” and laughed so hard at that thought.

…A week later while we were hanging at his apartment he tells me to come over to look at his laptop. To my disbelief there was an ticket advertisement for the Monster Ball Tour featuring Lady Gaga w/ Kid Cudi. We both laughed so hard and decided that it was a sign and that we HAD to get tickets no matter what.

We tired to get tickets online but it wouldn’t work so I called Ticketmaster. They said tickets were sold out. We were so bummed. But then Lady Gaga released another date for her tour and we decide to call first thing in the morning when tickets when on sale. The problem was that it was a day where we had class and cannot ditch. The second class ended we ran out side and took our cell phones out and dialed like madmen to Ticketmaster. Finally after being on hold for so long, we got two tickets …that were 8 seats apart! I don’t care if they were single seats I knew how to work my magic so we can be next to each other anyways!

Stuck in Traffic!

The day of the concert came and I was sooo super excited. Finally, I get to see the Queen, live in action. Oh I call Lady Gaga Queen because she’s such a diva. While being stuck in traffic, looking for parking and beating the winds in LA we finally get to the venue. Sign outside door “Kid Cudi will not be performing with Lady Gaga” … WHAT?! I was so ready to sing along with Kid Cudi. (Okay, I admit it. I didn’t really like him at first but after awhile and nonstop playing of his song thanks very much to my boyfriend – I started to like Kid Cudi!)

We got in to the venue and to our seats about 8 pm. It was supposed to start at 7:30. By 8:10 Semi-Precious Weapons opened up for Lady Gaga. They took awhile to get warmed up to but I think they are pretty good. Between sets, it took about an hour to set up. Lady Gaga finally FINALLY appeared on stage and that bitch made the crowd go wild. She was dancing on top of the stage, changing on stage and going crazy. I danced and sang my heart out for 2 hours straight. Love her sooo much! Lady Gaga is so beautiful, talented and inspirational. And I have to admit, her body was so much thinner and tonned than she used to be. She shared a couple stories on stage and declared the new Lady Gaga fan sign was a claw like a monster and called us her Little Monsters. Too cute, right?

Enough talking, on to many, many photos!

Countdown one minute to her coming on stage!

Singing “Speechless”, my favorite song of all time.

Hottest costume change all night.

Closeup of outfit. She’s smoking hot, right?

End of concert & close up of her “Bad Romance” outfit.

Hands down, best show I’ve seen to date and trust me, I’ve been to a lot of shows.
