It was 10 years ago when the Strokes delivered a memorable performance at the South by Southwest music festival at the intimate Iron Cactus venue. After a decade-long hiatus, the band made a triumphant return to the annual music event on Thursday and held a free concert at the Auditorium Shores location, with the stunning Austin skyline as the backdrop.

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.
