So 2019 will bring us @MorpheBrushes x @JeffreeStar collab + new @JeffreeStar makeup releases. And we are only at the beginning of the year. I’m literally shaking, can’t wait 🤭👽
With MAYHEM, Lady Gaga reminded the world what a fully committed era actually looks like. She was everywhere: hosting SNL, delivering a career-defining Coachella headlining set, staging an historic concert at Copacabana that broke the world record for most attendees for a female performer, sitting down for interviews, touring the world on one of the biggest and most in-demand treks in recent memory, releasing smash singles, and weaving herself into film and television both as a performer and a writer. The album itself debuted at #1 across multiple markets, while singles like “Disease,” “Abracadabra,” and “Die With A Smile” dominated airplay charts and playlists globally, with the latter two already cementing themselves as iconic entries in her catalog.
The era also brought home Grammy wins, further solidifying MAYHEM as one of the defining albums of her career. But beyond the spectacle, this era gave us something more meaningful: Gaga visibly happier and healthier than she’s been in well over a decade.
And then came MAYHEM Requiem. Intimate, cinematic, and completely unapologetic, it was the perfect final chapter to one of the most ambitious artistic cycles in recent pop history. A farewell worthy of everything that came before it.
It was a reminder that the artist her fans and the general public fell in love with never went anywhere. She’s simply ever-evolving, growing stronger with every new chapter she steps into.
Thank you for this wonderful era, @ladygaga. This journey was something else. Until next time. 🤍
Lady Gaga’s The MAYHEM Ball officially earned $419.5 million from nearly 2 million tickets sold, according to Billboard Boxscore.
It becomes the highest-grossing tour of her career and one of the top 10 highest-grossing tours by a female artist in history.
Lady Gaga has now concluded her legendary “MAYHEM Ball Tour.”
Over the course of a full year on the road, she performed 95 shows, including “The Art of Personal Chaos” promotional dates, across 35 cities in 15 countries.
It is now her highest-grossing tour to date, with an estimated $400 million. Every show sold out, driven by unprecedented demand. Official final numbers are expected soon.
The tour was acclaimed worldwide, with major publications calling it the tour of the year, the tour of the decade, and praising it for setting a new standard for pop performances.
It also marks her first tour since “artRAVE: The ARTPOP Ball” in 2014 to reach its planned conclusion without being cut short.
Beyond the numbers and accolades, this tour represents a defining shift in her career. She has found a place of happiness and stability, allowing her to perform on this scale again after a time when she believed she never could.
None of this would have been possible without every single person who showed up, supported her, and the entire crew behind the scenes.
For those who couldn’t attend, a filmed special was recorded in Los Angeles on February 18, 19, 22, and 23, and is expected to premiere on HBO at a later date.
