Lady Gaga Performs “Paparazzi” | 2009 VMAs
As the performance nears its conclusion, she staggers towards the piano. The camera then shifts focus to Diddy and Kalenna, their expressions reflecting disapproval towards Lady Gaga on stage. Suddenly, Lady Gaga rises, a simulated trail of blood apparent. The stage lighting transitions to a haunting blood-red hue, transforming the setting into what resembles the interior of a mansion. In a dramatic scene, one of the dancers supports Lady Gaga, her figure appearing to be tied to a rope, symbolizing a hanging. Amidst the illusion of bleeding and nearing demise, she gestures, embodying the theme of ‘as above, so below’.
