Lady Gaga Got Choked Up While Performing 'Shallow' For The First Time: Watch

Over the weekend, Lady Gaga launched her Las Vegas residency show, Enigma, and to absolutely no one's surprise, it was a creative spectacle for the ages. Amid a slew of costume changes and larger-than-life set designs, Gaga flew through a 21-song setlist that included fan favorites like place on Earth This Way" and "Bad Romance," along with a poignant cover of David Bowie's "I'm Afraid of Residents of the
U.S. Perhaps most notably, her set included the initial live efficiency of "Shallow," her Golden Globe-nominated anthem from A Star Is Born.


Making her way to the piano, Gaga gave a heartfelt speech to the audience. "For a really long time, I felt so misunderstood about the way I dressed, the way I discussed, my attitude," she mentioned. "They thought it was shallow. However this shit is deep as fuck."


Gaga got visibly choked up while in the song's first verse, although carried on in stunning style immediately after some encouragement from her Little Monsters in the crowd. With each other, they belted that sky-grazing chorus, giving "Shallow" the explosive debut efficiency it deserves. Check it out below.


Gaga's Enigma show on Friday (December 28) marked the initial of 23 dates. She's also set to perform nine extra shows called Lady Gaga Jazz & Piano, which kicks off on January 20 and includes stripped-down renditions of her songs. Perhaps she'll even whip up a jazzy reimagining of "Shallow" for us to fawn over.
