Lady Gaga revealed that she received some massive words from her fiancé and a close friend right before taking the stage at her Mayhem Ball tour stop in her hometown of New York City.
‘I think about walking on the concrete, going all around the city and just — I remember fighting really hard, fighting really hard for my dreams and what I believed in and for myself,’ she told the audience during her concert on Friday, Aug. 22.
‘I was with my friend China before the show… and I said to her, ‘’I think I might just fight my way through this whole show, ‘cause when I’m in New York, I fight. I gotta earn it, and I gotta go for it,’’ ‘she added.
The Abracadabra singer that her friend told her something that was ‘really special’ to her: ‘Sometimes you don’t have to fight, you just have to show up.’ She told the crowd that those words ‘meant so much to her,’ and her fiancé echoed similar endearing words.
‘Right before I came onstage, my fiancé, Michael, said, ‘When you go out there, let them fill you up,’ ” the singer shared while getting emotional.
The 39-year-old continued introducing the song — ‘Hair’ from her second studio album, Born This Way — which is one she hadn’t yet performed on tour. She noted that the album was ‘very special’ to her.
‘I’m sure all my albums could not be made without New York, but I am sure that this album would not have been made without New York,’ Gaga said of New York where her dreams of stardom were born.
‘This is for all of you and for all your dreams, for maybe sometimes no more fighting, just showing up,’ she told the crowd.
