On Wednesday (July 16) night at Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena (technically in Paradise, Nevada), Lady Gaga ushered in a new touring era, officially kicking off the Mayhem Ball (in support of her Billboard 200-topping album Mayhem, naturally) to a sold-out crowd.
Anyone who was at Coachella earlier this year or saw her recent Singapore dates certainly knew a bit of what to expect: those dates provided a fair glimpse of what to expect from the Mayhem Ball, which brought many of the songs, outfits and choreography from her Coachella performance back to the stage. Even so, the Mayhem Ball kickoff was far from a Coachella repeat, with Gaga and her creative team making notable changes to the look, pacing and setlist (which was generously expanded).
'This is my first arena tour since 2018,' said Gaga in a statement when she announced the tour. 'There's something electric about a stadium, and I love every moment of those shows. But with The Mayhem Ball, I wanted to create a different kind of experience — something more intimate — closer, more connected — that lends itself to the live theatrical art I love to create.'
Mayhem debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in March, placing 10 of its tracks on the Billboard Hot 100 (including the five-week Hot 100 No. 1 'Die With a Smile,' her Bruno Mars collab, which is still in the top 10) and setting two new records: Not only did Mayhem earn the 14-time Grammy winner her biggest streaming week ever, but it set a new record on Billboard's Top Dance Albums chart, where she now has the most No. 1s ever (eight).
Mother Monster's previous concert tour, the Chromatica Ball in support of her Billboard 200 topper Chromatica, wrapped in 2022, selling more than 800,000 tickets and netting $112 million. The Chromatica Ball hit stadiums across multiple continents, while the Monster Ball is mostly playing arenas, offering fans a more intimate experience with the Emmy, Grammy and Oscar winner who has topped the Hot 100 six times and earned 18 top 10s on the tally.

Mariah Carey Announces Release Date for 16th Studio Album, ‘Here For It All'
Mariah Carey is Here For It All. The pop icon announced the title and release date of her 16th album on Monday morning (July 21), revealing that the LP fans have been calling 'MC16' will drop on Sept. 26. The news came in a brief Instagram video in which MC flipped her hair back and walked slowly in shiny black leather high-heeled boots and black cat suit in front of a giant mural of herself, with the album title spelled out over and over in black and white behind her. It ended with a brief snippet of the title track in which Carey crooned, 'I'm here for it all!' The final image appears to be the album's cover picture, featuring a broadly smiling Carey, eyes closed, filling up most of the page, her hair blowing in the wind as she holds her left arm up to her cheek and her right hand up to her chest.
