The lady certainly knows how to open with style. Lady Gaga kicked off the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards with a memorable performance. Last night was a debut of firsts for the the avant-garde singer. It was the first time Gaga has performed her new single "Applause" and also the first time she has performed since having hip surgery earlier this year.
At the Pre-VMA red carpet, Gaga told titillated MTV's Sway with what viewers were in store for, "It's going to be awesome, it is a great show, I am so excited for the fans to see it."
The "Born This Way" singer began her triumphant comeback looking like she was encased in a cube and singing A cappella, before revealing the singer to be in a nun-like, all-white ensemble. The mercurial performer then did a series of quick changes throughout the fast-paced number -- a platinum-blonde symmetrical wig with a sequined jacket a la "Poker Face," and then a bright-yellow, Marilyn-Monroe-style look a la Gaga 2010 and then finally a curly blonde wig and butt-tastic, mermaid-like shell bikini from "Applause," that's so revealing it would even make Ariel cringe.
We aren't sure that Gaga's performance was our favorite ever -- but at least it wasn't Miley!
