March 8, 2026 was one of the best nights of my life. I know some people think celebrity “worship” is strange, but I think they’re missing the point. For me, it’s not about obsession. It’s about what the music has meant in my life. Her music and artistry has carried me through some really hard times, and it’s still helping me through them now.

Seeing Lady Gaga live, and from the floor, was breathtaking. And seeing it with my husband and beautiful friends made it so much more special. We were close enough to see her lip liner! I loved the show so much I had to go again. It didn’t feel like just a concert. It felt immersive, almost like being inside a play where the audience was part of the story, all directed by the queen herself. She is amazing at what she does.

Rachel and I bonded over Gaga for years. So many birthday cards, candles, pins, stickers, calendars, coasters. You name it, I probably have it. And all those late-night album releases where we’d race through the songs so we could text each other and decide which ones were our favorites.

Rachel, you would have loved this show so much. I know you were there with me, crying beside me, giving me a huge hug, but also telling me to put my motherfucking paws up.

I cried on and off during the show. But the moment that hit Bryce and me the hardest was when she sat at the piano and played her part of Die With a Smile. I remember when the song first came out and neither of us liked it all that much. But over time it grew on us, and now it means something different. The rest of the post is mostly videos. Videos that I want to share with you all. But do know, if you haven’t seen Gaga in concert, I highly recommend.

I love you, Rachel. And Gaga will keep helping me get through this. ❤️🖤 taken in Moody Center ATX by @mandylove229
