Lady Gaga, the headliner for the first day, turned the desert into her personal stage filled with chaos and wonder. Her 90-minute performance was a theatrical odyssey split into five acts, each highlighting her exceptional artistry and storytelling. From the dark, dreamlike setting of “Abracadabra” to the vibrant choreography of “Poker Face,” Gaga’s show was both a visual and auditory delight.
The audience erupted in cheers as she effortlessly wove together tracks from her latest album, Mayhem, with classic hits like “Bad Romance” and “Born This Way.”
