The popstar launched her huge ‘MAYHEM Ball’ tour at the T-Mobile Arena last night (July 16), where she hosted a characteristically dramatic show.

It follows her biggest show yet playing to two million people at Copacabana Beach in Rio, a massive Coachella headline slot, her first live shows in Singapore in over a decade and her first Mexico shows in 13 years.

Along with her life-sized chess game and dancing skeletons, Gaga hosted the five-act ball performing a slew of her greatest hits and selections from her most recent album, ‘Mayhem‘. She also included some fan messages on giant LED screens at the beginning of the show (some political, some not so much).

The juggernaut also threw in some new additions to the setlist. Fan favourites ‘Applause’ from 2014’s ‘ARTPOP‘ and ‘Just Dance’ from 2008 debut ‘The Fame‘ have appeared on the ‘Mayhem Ball’ setlist, and were not played in her Coachella performance, whilst ‘LoveDrug’ and ‘Kill For Love’ was debuted in Las Vegas.

Meanwhile, ‘The Fame’ deep cut ‘Summerboy’ was played for the first time in 18 years – take a look at everything Lady Gaga played on her opening night of the ‘Mayhem Ball’ below and see fan-filmed footage, reactions and more:
