Dressed in a striking sequined silver bodysuit, Gaga pulled out all the stops with fireworks, backup dancers, and lightning-fast costume changes. The show kicked off with a bang as she sang “God Bless America” from the stadium roof, followed by a jaw-dropping leap to the stage below, all while belting out “Poker Face”.
