So, if you didn\u2019t know I am obsessed with Lady Gaga! When she came to Pittsburgh, I tried so hard to get tickets. Tickets went on sale at 10:00 and I called at 10:03, and they were SOLD-OUT!! I was so depressed.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Before I left for Australia, I knew Lady Gaga was going to start her \u201cBorn This Way\u201d tour in Asia and knew she\u2019d be in Australia around the time I was getting ready to leave. Her tour dates weren\u2019t announced yet when I first got here. So she announced her concert dates for Australia, and one was Brisbane. She would be in Brisbane while I was still here! When I found that out, I just HAD to get tickets!! <\/span>My friend, Trevor, and I decided we would go together! Yay! I bought my ticket in March, so all I could think about for 3 months was the Lady Gaga concert.<\/span><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>It was finally the day of the concert! I put on my most fierce outfit and was ready to go! The crowd was intense. She sold-out all three shows in Brisbane! The only disappointment was the costumes of the fans at the concert. I know at home, they\u2019re way more creative and crazy. <\/span>The concert started off with a bang. Lady Gaga came in riding a horse! I knew from that moment, the concert was going to be amazing. I was right, the concert was incredible!! Her outfits were also fabulous, of course!\u00a0\u00a0The audience was on their feet all night!<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
My favorite part was when she sang \u201cHair.\u201d She really related to the fans during this song. I look very emotional at the part. First, fans threw stuff on the stage to her. One guy through a jacket he made her, and she even wore it on stage. She then talked about suicide and had us say a prayer to \u201cwhat god we believe or don\u2019t believe in\u201d to all the people out there who don\u2019t feel like they matter. That part really got me. She\u2019s such a strong activist for bullying and suicide prevention.\u00a0It\u2019s so amazing how she really wants everyone to relate to her. Lady Gaga\u00a0told us to\u00a0make a promise to her, and that was to follow our dreams, just like she did.<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
At one point she even had the Australian flag and was dancing around with that. Then, she concluded her concert but not without an encore. I really thought she was done, because she said \u201clast song,\u201d but then came out and did two more songs!! That\u2019s why I love Lady Gaga, she never ceases to amaze me. Then, it was over. It was really cool to see a concert in a different country. I hope she comes to Pittsburgh during this tour, so I can compare the two. That was seriously the best concert I\u2019ve ever been to.\u00a0\u00a0Nothing will ever top that. It was worth every penny and more.<\/span>This was my last fun thing I get\u00a0to do here in Australia. Now it’s time for a few finals, then I have to get ready to leave. At least that concert topped off my entire stay here.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
