Put your paws up, Little Monsters!
Lady Gaga surprised the Coachella crowd with a special guest and an "Abracadabra" remix during her Friday (April 11) night headlining set, and the internet is still recovering from the mayhem.
The "Bad Romance" songstress, born Stefani Germanotta, lit up the stage to close out night one of the storied music and arts festival, performing a slew of hits that spanned her illustrious career. Gaga even brought out Gesaffelstein (Mike Lévy) to help her perform "Killah" before dropping a remix of another popular MAYHEM track.
The duo brought the "Abracadabra" remix to life as Little Monsters watched in awe. The track was promptly available on all streaming platforms following the performance.
The "Born This Way" icon opened up about all things "Abracadabra" during an interview with Entertainment Weekly last month, highlighting how much the track means to her.
"So much of what I did with 'Abracadabra' was about claiming music and imagery that's my own invention — meaning the combination of those things is my own invention, and I wanted to really own that for myself. As a woman in music, we're often told that someone else made us who we are or somehow it didn't come from us, that we were made that way. But this is who I am."
According to the outlet, the "theatrical" set, which saw skulls, epic outfit changes, and unforgettable choreography, spanned two hours. And Gaga plans to do it all again on April 18th!
