Lady Gaga kicked off her ‘Mayhem Ball Tour.' What songs made the setlist?

Featured pricing is subject to change. The 'Mayhem Ball' has finally dropped. Four long months after releasing her seventh studio album 'Mayhem,' Lady Gaga launched her highly-anticipated North American arena tour at Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena on Wednesday, July 16. Over five exquisitely-titled acts and an encore, Ms. Germanotta delivered 27 songs. They ran the gamut from chart-topping radio staples like 'Poker Face,' 'Paparazzi' and 'Just Dance' to her emotive, soul-baring duets 'Shallow' and 'Die With A Smile' to cuts from 'Mayhem,' according to Set List FM. When all was said and done, she closed the concert with the slinky party-starting singalong 'How Bad Do U Want Me.' 'Its ideas were as big as its presentation, and Gaga kept its focus with over-the-top theatrics and an even greater vision,' Variety raved in a review of the Sin City show. '…but at the heart of her performance was a parade of hits that served as the backbone of the Gaga experience, one that continuously elicited screams and chants from the attendees decked out in Gaga costumes.' Variety also noted that Gaga had surprisingly switched up the second half of her live show compared to what she'd staged in Singapore this past spring while warming up for the tour. 'There was no 'Blade of Grass' or 'Always Remember Us This Way,' as she'd sung in Singapore; instead, she folded in 'Applause' and 'Summerboy,' and swapped 'How Bad Do U Want Me' as the evening's closer. She sang a new rendition of 'Die With a Smile' at the lip of the stage on a piano; 'Shallow' had a fresh arrangement that offered a different texture to the melodramatic ballad.' If you'd like to see the shape-shifting, versatile 14-time Grammy winner put on her one-of-a-kind show live, tickets are available for all upcoming North American concerts (including her five at Madison Square Garden this August and September).

Lady Gaga set list On Wednesday, July 16, Gaga played her first official 'Mayhem Ball Tour' concert at Las Vegas' T-Mobile Stadium. According to Set List FM, here's what she took to the stage. Act I: Of Velvet And Vice 01.) 'Bloody Mary' 02.) 'Abracadabra' 03.) 'Judas/Aura' 04.) 'Scheiße' 05.) 'Garden of Eden' 06.) 'Poker Face Act II: And She Fell Into A Gothic Dream 07.)

'Shallow' 24.) 'Die With a Smile' 25.) 'Vanish Into You' Finale: Eternal Aria of the Monster Heart 26.) 'Bad Romance' Encore 27.) 'How Bad Do U Want Me' Lady Gaga new music On March 7, Lady Gaga dropped her seventh studio album 'Mayhem.' The energetic, maximalist dance pop record — which many rightly call a return to form — rarely takes a moment to breathe (save for the final two tracks, which veer into singalong ballad territory). Over its 53-minute runtime, Gaga goes hard providing her signature powerful vocals over shimmery synths, thumping percussion and the occasional epic guitar riff. And, yes, it's an absolute blast that we went gaga over. Standouts here include the anthemic, electro 'Disease,' disco jam 'Abracadabra,' creepy, hypnotic bop 'Killah,' glittery foot-stomper 'Zombieboy' and retro, New Wave-esque 'Don't Call Tonight.' Still, our top track has to be the lead single, Gaga's throwback 'Die With A Smile' duet with Bruno Mars. Sweeping yet intimate and thrillingly romantic, the heartfelt tune pairs perfectly as an upbeat counterpart to her similarlly swooning 'Shallow.' It's essential and we'd bet will likely become a staple at Gaga tours for the next few decades.

Lady Gaga kicks off Mayhem Ball tour in Las Vegas, full setlist revealed
Lady Gaga launched her 2025 Mayhem Ball tour with a packed opening night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, marking the first official date of the North American run. The performance included a full setlist of crowd favourites, rare live returns, and new arrangements. The show largely mirrored her earlier Coachella performances, but with several key additions. Tracks like 'Applause,' 'Just Dance,' 'Shadow of a Man,' and 'LoveDrug' were not featured in her previous 2025 sets. 'Kill for Love,' from the Mayhem album, made its live debut. One of the standout moments came during 'Shallow,' which received a visual update, performed by Gaga from a gondola. A solo version of 'Die With a Smile' was also reworked. Although 'Bad Romance' closed the main set and the credits rolled, Gaga returned for an unlisted encore of 'How Bad Do U Want Me,' dressed casually in a Cramps t-shirt. The full setlist included: Bloody Mary Abracadabra Judas Aura Scheiße Garden of Eden Poker Face Perfect Celebrity Disease Paparazzi LoveGame Alejandro The Beast Killah Zombieboy Love Drug Applause Just Dance Shadow of a Man Kill for Love Summerboy Born This Way Million Reasons Shallow Die With a Smile Vanish Into You Bad Romance How Bad Do U Want Me The concert ran two hours and 12 minutes. Gaga will perform multiple shows in Las Vegas, Seattle, New York, Miami, Toronto, and Chicago before taking the tour to Europe in September.

Lady Gaga's Longest-Charting Hits All Have Something In Common
Lady Gaga's three longest-charting Hot 100 hits are all collaborations with male solo artists, ... More including "Just Dance," "Shallow" and "Die with a Smile." SNL50: THE RED CARPET — Pictured: Lady Gaga on Sunday, February 16, 2025 — (Photo by NBC/Noam Galai/NBC via Getty Images) 'Die With a Smile,' the collaboration between Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, has become her second-longest-charting hit on the Hot 100. This time around, the Grammy-winning smash holds steady at No. 8 once again, ranking as one of the 10 biggest tracks in America, 45 weeks into its lifetime on the tally. The tune is likely to remain on the list for quite some time, and its success underscores a running theme for Gaga — one that has proved fruitful for her on several occasions. Collaborations Are King All three of Gaga's longest-charting singles on the Hot 100 share something in common: they are collaborations with other artists. Not just other musicians, but solo male acts. Two of them are proper duets, while another credits a featured act who delivered just a single verse. 'Die With a Smile' is matched with 'Shallow,' Gaga's Oscar-winning collaboration with Bradley Cooper from the film A Star Is Born and its accompanying soundtrack. The two hits have racked up 45 frames apiece on the ranking, but 'Die With a Smile' will likely break that tie in just a few days. 'Just Dance' Still Leads Gaga's longest-running winner on the Hot 100 remains 'Just Dance,' which launched her into the pop music stratosphere. That dance-pop cut lived on the tally for 49 frames, and it easily stands out as featured star Colby O'Donis's most successful track in America. 'Die With a Smile' and 'Shallow' When it comes to both 'Die With a Smile' and 'Shallow,' the star power of the musician sitting alongside Gaga may have been instrumental in their success. Cooper was never known as a musician, but he is an A-list movie star, and all the excitement around the two performing at the Academy Awards propelled the track to No. 1. Mars is, of course, one of the most successful pop hitmakers of the past several decades, and it's easy to understand how the fan bases of the two musicians have kept the tune afloat. O'Donis, however, was only slightly more famous than Gaga when 'Just Dance' arrived, and his career tapered off quickly afterward. It was the catchy quality of that track and the novelty of electronic dance-pop that made 'Just Dance' as huge as it was well over a decade ago. 'Poker Face' and 'Bad Romance' Buck the Trend Gaga's next two longest-charting tracks on the Hot 100 are solo affairs, as 'Poker Face' and 'Bad Romance' lived on the list for 40 and 35 frames, respectively. Much of Gaga's output that has reached the tally only credits her, though she has also landed big wins alongside stars like Beyoncé, Ariana Grande and even R. Kelly.

I'm a Mom of 4 & Here's Why I Think a Meta Quest Is a Summer Parenting Must-Have
If you asked me the best part of my day, you might think my answer is a little ridiculous — but I'm not trying to gatekeep, so here is my confession: I'm an almost-45-year-old mother of four, and I am obsessed with my Meta Quest VR headset. (And yes, it's my Meta Quest headset. I actually bought it for my kids, but commandeered it for myself once I figured out how freaking amazing it is.) Before the pandemic, I taught Zumba for 10 years. When the world shut down, so did the dance studio where I taught … and at first, I floundered. I needed some sort of physical activity in my life, but I'm admittedly not a gym person; if I'm gonna stick to something, I need something that feels fun and empowering — not like a workout, but like I'm building some sort of skill and getting a workout in the process. So I started playing Just Dance on my kids' Nintendo Switch, which I still love. I played it religiously for years, buying each new iteration of the game. But by December of last year, I was ready to incorporate something new. And there was a Meta Quest 3 underneath our Christmas tree — our big 'group gift' for the kids. Little did I know that it would become just as much of a gift to me!

Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale. I discovered the Meta Quest VR game Supernatural: Unreal Fitness during Christmas break, and OMG. I am dead serious when I tell you that six months in, I try not to miss a single day of Supernatural, with the exception of a few days here and there when I'm sick or busy (or, let's be real, just feeling lazy). It has two types of workouts: boxing, and flow, which is a lower-intensity session where you hit targets with sabers (if you've ever played Beat Saber, it's kinda like that). Both boxing and flow are set to music, and you can find a playlist for every type of taste: country, rap, EDM, rock, whatever moves you. You can also choose your intensity, so you can challenge yourself without feeling overwhelmed. It's also an amazing workout — I consider myself physically fit, having worked out almost-daily for the better part of two decades, but it still leaves me standing in a puddle of sweat that I have to mop up with my T-shirt between rounds (hey, I didn't say I look glamorous doing it). Best of all, it's leveled up the muscle definition in my arms to a degree that nothing else ever has — which I didn't expect, but is obviously a huge bonus. $499 Buy Now I also love that there's a community attached to Supernatural. In the game and the app, you can track your progress and cheer on others' progress, which helps keep me motivated and accountable. You can do a group workout if you want to switch things up (I do at least one of those every day). And I love every single one of the coaches — Coach Doc, Coach Leanne, Coach Raneir, Coach Mindy, Coach Mark, and Coach Dwana. They each bring their own style and brand of encouragement to their workouts. I totally fangirled the other day when I messaged Coach Leanne on Instagram and she actually answered! Squeeee! Of course, as much as I adore Supernatural (you know, in case you couldn't tell) it's not the only thing I love about the Meta Quest. No matter what you're playing, it's a completely immersive environment, like you're standing in the middle of some cool, exotic locale, and it's absolutely breathtaking. I've 'been to' the Erta Ale volcano in Ethiopia, Chile's Atacama Desert, Iceland's Blue Lagoon, the Great Wall of China, and more — and that's just in Supernatural. But I've also sat in a secluded cartoon cave, where lush foliage sparkling with water droplets adorns the walls, and the only sound is the tranquil pond around me — and on a sunny beach surrounded by softly rustling palm trees. Those locales are in my other favorite VR game, Bait!, which is an animated game where your mission is to catch certain types of fish — it's oddly relaxing, but when I want to liven things up a little, I can compete with my kids in multiplayer mode (on the other Meta Quest headset I bought them when I stole theirs). And when I want to take my relaxation seriously, there's Tripp: a super-immersive meditation app that has the coolest guided meditations, breathing and focus exercises, and just really amazing virtual spaces that take 'zoning out' to the next level. But, I'm also a mom whose kids are home for the summer, and as much as I love using the Meta Quest to completely check out, there are also times when I need to answer important questions like 'Who's at the door this time?!' and 'What was that bang?' and 'Why do I smell burning?!' Which is why the Meta Quest's 'passthrough mode' is a busy mom's bestie — you can literally just tap on the side of the headset when you need to see what's going on in the real world, and get a real-time view of what's happening in your surroundings without even taking off the headset. Of course, I do have to share 'my' Meta Quest — because my kids love playing as much as I do, and yes, even my teenagers still enjoy it. That's another reason I'm such a fan: It may technically be a screen, but it gets them up, moving, and connecting — with each other, and even with their long-distance friends back in Iowa, where we used to live. I say 'no' to a lot of things, but when my kids ask for a new Meta Quest game, they know their odds are pretty good. Is that because I'll probably end up playing it more than they do? … Well, the odds of that are pretty good too.

Tied to chairs, Sex jokes ...: Three former top executives of video game giant Ubisoft face sexual harassment charges
Three former Ubisoft executives are on trial in France for allegations of bullying and sexual harassment, with a French court hearing disturbing accounts from former employees, predominantly women, about a toxic workplace culture at the gaming giant's Paris headquarters during the 2010s, according to The Guardian. The accusations, reportedly described as 'extremely serious' by prosecutor Antoine Haushalter, include incidents of employees being tied to chairs, forced to perform handstands, subjected to sexual jokes, exposed to pornographic videos in the office, and enduring crude behavior, such as a boss farting in employees' faces. One woman reported a manager drawing a penis on her arm during a video call with senior leaders. The court case marks the gaming industry's first major #MeToo trial. Who are the accused executives The accused include Tommy Francois, 52, former Vice President of Editorial & Creative Services; Serge Hascoet, 59, former Chief Creative Officer; and Guillaume Patrux, 41, former Game Director. Ubisoft, known for blockbuster titles like Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Just Dance, was allegedly a 'Boys' Club' where such misconduct thrived, per The Guardian. Francois faces charges of sexual harassment, bullying, and attempted sexual assault. The Guardian reported that he allegedly tied a female employee to a chair before sending her in an elevator to a random floor and forced a woman in a skirt to do handstands, leaving her terrified. At a 2015 office party, he reportedly attempted to kiss a woman while others restrained her; she escaped after shouting. Another woman accused Francois of grabbing her hair and attempting a forced kiss at a U.S. gaming event, showing her nude photos, and drawing on her arm during a video call. Ubisoft's HR allegedly dismissed her concerns, advising her not to escalate. Francois denies all allegations. Hascoet is accused of bullying and sexual harassment, including making inappropriate sexual comments, such as telling a woman on a work trip she 'needed sex' in front of colleagues, and joking that a used tissue he handed to a female employee was 'worth gold at Ubisoft,' per The Guardian. He allegedly made sexual noises, forced assistants to run personal errands, and denies any intent to harass. Patrux faces similar charges, accused of punching walls, pretending to strike employees, cracking a whip near faces, joking about an office shooting, and burning an employee's beard with a lighter, according to The Guardian. He also denies the allegations. Verdict on July 2, what proscecutors want Haushalter called the trial a pivotal moment for the gaming industry, amplified by the #MeToo movement, which empowered victims to speak out. He highlighted 'strong proof' of systemic mistreatment and requested suspended prison sentences of up to three years and fines for the trio. The court concluded hearings, with a verdict expected on July 2, 2025. AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now
