American singer Lady Gaga returned to a massive audience for the first time in eight years to headline the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Friday night, dancing with model skeletons, fighting a dancer dressed as a monster and serving up a surprise encore.
"Welcome to my house of mayhem," the singer said from the stage.
Lady Gaga weaved together songs from her 2025 Mayhem album as well as older ones, including Judas, Born This Way and Poker Face.
"I love you," she said several times during the two-hour concert.
In typically flamboyant style, she raced through costume changes, including a red gown, a black leotard, a feathery white dress and metallic armour with a cape.
To match her dedication to dressing up, fans also opted for statement pieces to honour Lady Gaga
The singer, songwriter and actor is known for upbeat pop music that incorporates electropop, dance, rock, house, jazz and experimental genres.
