She kept her p-p-p-poker face on.
Lady Gaga powered through a technical blunder that took place during her headlining set for Weekend 2 of Coachella 2025 Friday night.
The pop superstar’s microphone went out while she was in the middle of performing “Abracadabra,” the lead single off her new album, “Mayhem.”
Gaga — who treats her Little Monsters to a fashion feast of several high-fashion looks throughout the festival concert — was dressed at the time in a larger-than-life red ruffled gown made by Jet Sets.

In social media video of the mishap, the Grammy winner could be heard singing, “When the devil turns around,” as the sound from the mic begins to go in and out.
However, Gaga played it cool and continued to sing the rest of the track and do her choreography.
Later in the set, she addressed what occurred, telling her fans, “I’m sorry my mic was broken for a second… at least you know I sing live!” and laughed off the minor setback.
She added, “I guess, all we can do is our best, right? I’m definitely giving you my best tonight.”

People online praised the “Paparazzi” singer for how she handled the situation, with one person writing on X, “the way lady gaga handled her microphone malfunctioning was truly professional… what a legend 😭.”
Another agreed, “Didn’t miss a beat and kept the show going! Truly a living legend.”
Last week, Gaga hit the stage for her first headlining set of Coachella 2025, and it went off without a hitch.
In the nearly two-hour set, the “Bad Romance” singer paid homage to several of her past music videos.
Gaga also headlined in 2017 after Beyoncé had to drop out last minute. However, leading up to her return to the music festival this year, the “Just Dance” singer shared her excitement for what she had in store.
She told Uproxx, “I’ve been lucky that I’ve had some real success since the last time I performed at Coachella. But also, I love my new album so much, and I’m so excited to perform it live. I can’t wait.”
