Lady GaGa hates to disappoint her fans. After she was forced to end her “Chromatica Ball” concert in Miami early due to a lightning storm, the “Bad Romance” hitmaker shared a tearful video in which she apologized to concertgoers.
The 36-year-old posted the clip on Instagram after stopping the Saturday, September 17 show. “We really tried to finish the show tonight in Miami but we couldn’t, because even when the rain sort of stopped, there was lightning that was striking right down to the ground so close to us,” she lamented.
“I know that for a really long time I’ve always wanted to be, like, that hardcore bad b***h, but what I really want is to also be responsible and loving,” the 12-time Grammy winner added. “I don’t know what I would do if anything happened to anybody in the audience or any member of my crew (or) my band, my dancers.”
“I’m sorry that we didn’t get to do the epic performance of ‘Rain on Me’ in the rain. But what’s more worth it to me is life,” GaGa continued. She then concluded her clip by clutching flowers that someone tossed to her on stage. “Whoever threw these to me on stage, I will cherish them forever,” she said.
GaGa doubled down on her apology in a follow-up post. Sharing a selfie in the same outfit, she penned, “I’m sorry i couldn’t finish the show it was too dangerous the lightening was being unpredictable and changing moment by moment, I love you. Look, for years some of you have called me ‘mother monster,’ in my heart I knew it was better to keep you safe. Thank you for believing in me.”
“This was the greatest tour of my life and I will cherish this moment forever-it took a long time for me to heal, but I did,” she further elaborated. “Sure, OF COURSE, I wanted to sing rain on me for you in the rain. ‘I’d rather be dry, but at least I’m alive’-I guess somehow I knew this moment would happen and I am so grateful to you, my dancers, my band the whole crew everyone my family and friends. Safety first. Love you. Thank you for the flowers and the cheers and for understanding. Life matters. #thechromaticaball.”
