Perhaps this young lady providing onstage entertainment during Lady Gaga‘s set at SXSW last night heard the Born This Way Foundation spent $808,661 on “other” in 2012, because she vomited, multiple times, directly onto Mother Monster’s chest during a performance of “Swine”.
Or perhaps this is just a rousing form of #ARTPOP. Pop culture was in art, now art’s in pop culture in this vomit all over my breasts, or something like that.
The intentionally unkempt 27-year-old artist displayed this performance art on the Doritos #BoldStage after arriving at the interactive festival in an outfit made entirely of coffee filters. As you can see in the video below, the literally vomit-inducing part of the performance was a staged event (not like this one), during which another artist shoved her own fingers down her throat and regurgitated a green substance.
Afterward, both artists rode a mechanical bull together. For a full review of Gaga’s set, which has actually been received pretty well, head on over to Billboard.

Insert metaphor. The downward spiral continues. Sigh.
She needs to just go away for a few years, drop the ego, collaborate with some of the best producers in the biz, and put out an addictive catchy pop album again.
And for god’s sake, hire a manager again that can keep her on track.

My god, I love Lady Gaga but I’m having a hard time not seeing this as a a desperate grab for attention (as opposed to just a regular grab for attention). Even by Gaga standards this is weird and off putting.
I think she’s crawled way to far into this “Because Art!” BS. Sometimes something shocking and disgusting is just shocking and disgusting, not “ART”.

This is fucking awesome.
I can’t wait until she pulls a full G.G. and just throws literal shit into an audience.

Somehow, I get the feeling Miley Cyrus is kicking herself for not coming up with it first.

And the world yawns.
Pathetic, as usual.
