Lady Gaga was left “speechless” revisiting ‘The Chromatica Ball’ for her new concert film.
The long-awaited film is finally set to hit HBO’s Max on May 25, and the ‘Born This Way’ hitmaker has admitted it was emotional getting to experience the epic stadium extravaganza again.
Gaga – who has directed and produced the film herself – told fans on Instagram: “I’m so excited that we can finally share The Chromatica Ball film with the world. This film chronicles a time of immense creativity…the fashion, the dance, the music. Revisiting the tour leaves me speechless the way we had each other—you all showed up for music and art in a big way, and with a level of excitement and freedom that I will never forget. Stadium after stadium. Sold out crowds. The deafening singalongs.
“Chromatica was colorful revenge. The chaos of it all became pure energy and life. With a texture best experienced live.
“STRUT IT OUT, WALK A MILE
SERVE IT ANCIENT CITY STYLE”
“Self-acceptance is a theme that cuts through all my songs. I believe it is always possible to dig deep and find your greatness. Self-discovery is an art. Self-love is a practice. (sic)”
The 38-year-old superstar went on to thank her Little Monsters for inspiring every single detail of the shows, from the clothing to the vocals, choreography, and theatrical staging.
She added: “I love you monsters more than I can say. See yourself in every vocal, every fabric choice, the choreography, every image… Here’s the truth—no matter where life or my career has taken me, my time with you always is a path back to a very powerful part of myself. In a stadium filled with YOU it came to life. Thank you for that feeling. I hope you will feel seen when you watch this film. And know that I edited it carefully to honor you. (sic)”
Nina Rosenstein, executive VP of HBO Programming, Late Night and Specials, said in a statement: “Lady Gaga is a complete powerhouse.
“She’s a once-in-a-lifetime artist who never holds back, and Gaga Chromatica Ball puts her endless list of talents on full display. We’re thrilled to partner with her once again for this breathtaking concert special.”
