The Monster Ball Tour was initially planned as a joint tour with Kanye West, but after the Taylor Swift VMA incident and subsequent scheduling changes, Gaga reinvented the show as a standalone theatrical journey. The premise was deceptively simple: Gaga and her friends are trying to get to the Monster Ball, but their car breaks down.
During “Speechless” on night one, Gaga dedicated the song to her late grandmother, breaking down in tears before finishing with raw vocal power. On night two, she brought out a surprise guest— Tony Bennett —for a duet of “The Lady Is a Tramp,” presaging her later jazz album.
Okay, Monsters. Stop what you’re doing.
