Eight shows. Five cities. Two queens (iykyk). One @ladygaga 🖤

I’ll never be able to adequately explain what the Mayhem Ball, and this era in general, has meant to me- so as she prepares to take her final bow, I wanted to take a moment for some highlights 🥹

Slides 1-3: the photo of us that Gaga saw in Austin, what she said to us, and footage someone got of her seeing us in the crowd 😭

Slides 4-6: opening night in Vegas- the first Aura, LoveDrug live debut, first HBDUWM beanie

Slide 7: not the ball but relevant, getting to watch mother receive her Artist of the Year VMA

Slides 8-10: fave videos from our first barricade at Chicago N3, especially Gaga singing DWAS to us 💕

Slides 11-15: how cool is my mom for flying to Paris with me for a long weekend to see Gaga? Such a special show with so many insane moments

Slides 16-18: more from Austin, unreal views of some insane moments

Slides 19-20: our last show in Boston, final time hearing the Manifesto of Mayhem, and my one tear commemorating it all being over 🖤

And there’s so much more, but wow. I still kind of can’t believe this was real. Endlessly grateful for it all, especially for my best girl @judithpriestqueen for being just as crazy as me and making the Mayhem so fun, and for Gaga for being the most magnificent entertainer and human ever.

Here’s to MAYHEM, and to the next 20 years 🥀🖤
