It's like the red carpet version of the outfit she wore on the cover of NME during the Born This Way era.

You have to be a certain level of gay and traumatised to immediately recall this memory

It's giving CFDA 2011 red carpet

My favorite look of the era to be honest.

This is still one of her best Oscars moments for me

A not great performance of an awful song. I still can’t quite get over the fact that she released something so weak for such a huge project.

The Performance

It look… raw. She removed her earpiece before the end so I believe things weren’t really going smooth but I highkey fuck at the “gritty” edge?? It gives the song a little more depth than the sanitized studio version. And she served a nice shook with such look.

It was very Joanne Dive Bar. I actually enjoyed it and she sounded great.

Wasn't really expecting much since she barely had any time to rehearse.

The song really needs the big 80's bombast to make it work. This is forced and boring.

It's giving Christian music infomerical.

Definitely didn’t have the return of the Joanne dive bar era on my bingo card.

This had to have been an extremely last minute booking with little to no rehearsal time because I doubt this is what we would've gotten if this was booked weeks ahead. She would've performed on the plane from the single cover or something.

I really like the song but that wasn't any good... at all ddd
Couldn't make it to the end.

Well we didn't even know she was performing before this morning, so. This was fine. She put heavy emotion into it which was nice, even though from a musical standpoint I wish it had been a grander affair instead of this toned down version. But at an award show that is all glitz and glamour, to sing like that with a clean face and ripped jeans, she continues to subvert expectations.

Oh, this is going to be a hit with the locals cause somehow in the year 2023 "did you know Lady Gaga is a REAL artist who can sing RAW?" content still generates engagement.

Yeah... let's go with that.

Even if you zoom out from just Gaga though. It's a rare occasion any pop star removes the makeup and the performance costume and delivers just vocals and the emotion of the song in this way. So yes, it will always be talked about.

Oh and she didn’t win Best Original Song. Thank god now Hold My Hand will be banned to the place it shouldn’t have ever crawled out.

Loved her reaction dd. Supportive queen.

On another note, the Hold My Feet era is officially over.
