Lady Gaga's Grammys Performance Was A Love Letter To Tony Bennett

Lady Gaga's Grammys Performance Was A Love Letter To Tony Bennett




From presenting Best Picture at the Oscars to belting on the Grammys stage, it's just another week for Lady Gaga. For tonight's (April 3) Grammy Awards, Gaga blasted down from Chromatica to give the audience a big musical group experience, performing tracks from Love for Sale, the jazz album she recorded with music legend, Tony Bennett.


While Bennett wasn't at the awards ceremony in person — he retired from the stage last year due to his worsening Alzheimer's condition — he recorded a video introduction to Gaga's efficiency, blowing the pop star a kiss.


Then, Mother Monster took to the stage, trading her normal Chromatica couture for a fancy turquoise gown, to sing with a big musical group. Her efficiency was transformed into a touching love letter to Bennett with videos of the two of those recording in the studio playing in back of her.

Gaga brought the home down by singing two tracks, "Love for Sale" and "Do I Love You," ending her number by sitting on the stage of the MGM Grand Garden Arena, looking into the camera, and saying "I love you, Tony. We miss you."


Gaga and Bennett's second group effort, Love for Sale, earned six Grammy nominations this year, including Album of the Year, Best Customary Pop Vocal Album, and Record of the Year. Bennett has earned 18 Grammys over the course of his career, while Gaga has acquired 12. Their previous duets album, Cheek to Cheek, won Best Established Pop Vocal Album at the 2015 Grammy Awards.


“This album happened because it was Tony’s idea and I made him a promise that we should make it and we did. At 95 years old, he has more nominations than ever, I’m so honored to be his companion in music and his friend," Gaga wrote on Instagram any time the Grammy nominations were reported back in November. "Thank you to the public for loving us, we surely love each other, and you also. Believe in love and partnership, even with 60 years between us, and Alzheimer’s, there really is nothing like the magic of music. I love you Tony, and the world loves you also. How could they not?”
