Here's our dream setlist for Lady Gaga's Las Vegas residency

新闻导读:大家多久没听到Lady Gaga的新闻了呢?Lady Gaga宣布要拉斯维加斯驻唱两年。赌城驻唱一直被国外网友笑称为天王巨星退役的过度地。一方面,如果驻唱歌手没有足够高的知名度,演唱会的票卖不动两年;另一方面,如果歌手够红的话,世界巡回演唱会、发新专辑、上综艺等等更赚钱的活动都忙不过来,根本没有时间驻扎在赌场一直唱个两年。

With a new album and her first leading role in a major Hollywood production right around the corner, Lady Gaga is on the brink of a new era. To the surprise of many, the next chapter of her career is also set to include a residency show in Las Vegas, where Mother Monster will launch a two-year concert series at the MGM Park Theater in December 2018. Though many — including Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, and Jennifer Lopez — have preceded her as Sin City headliners, Gaga’s foray into the Vegas spotlight charts new territory for mainstream pop acts.
