Lady Gaga is doing “The Dead Dance” live!
The Artist of the Year winner delivered an incredible performance of “Abracadabra” and her latest song, which is featured in Netflix‘s Wednesday Season 2 (where she also makes a cameo!), at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday (September 7) at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York.
Gaga actually was at the VMAs briefly earlier in the evening, and even accepted her award, but she ran out to Manhattan to make it in time for her performance on The Mayhem Ball Tour in Madison Square Garden!
