However, the burning question on everyone’s mind was whether Gaga would perform her brand-new single ‘Born This Way’ in front of them or stick to her older hits.

During her performance of ‘Bad Romance’ in the middle of the show, she whispered into the microphone, urging the audience not to leave because there would be a special surprise for them after that song. After a few minutes of the crowd roaring with excitement in complete darkness, fans were thrilled to see Gaga back on stage, surrounded by her dancers dressed in the same skin-colored costumes worn on Grammy night. Prior to ‘Born This Way,’ Gaga had already been performing for about two hours, but that didn’t diminish an ounce of energy from her electrifying dance moves and powerful vocals on her signature smash hit.

The night’s other highlight came when the pop queen announced that the …
