The gays were down for Sniffies — not sniffles — while attending the Chromatica tour.
On Thursday, May 23 in Los Angeles, Lady Gaga attended the world premiere of her newest HBO concert film, Gaga Chromatica Ball. During the Q&A section of the event, Gaga revealed that she did five concerts of The Chromatica Ball tour while being sick with COVID-19.
Gaga explained:
"I shared it with everyone on my team. I said, 'I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable at work. You don't have to perform, and you don't have to work that day. But I'm gonna do the show.' I just didn't wanna let all the fans down. And the way that I saw it, also, is that the fans were all putting themselves in harm's way every day coming to the show. So, you know…"
Many people on social media — Little Monsters included — shared their concern, shock, and even disappointment in reaction to these statements. For five concerts, there could've been a very wide spread of COVID-19 between the singer and her audience. There were also crew and cast members who did the show alongside Gaga for The Chromatica Ball tour to think about.
It was also not particularly laudatory to justify those actions by saying that concert goes were "all putting themselves in harm's way every day coming to the show." When The Chromatica Ball tour was going on — from July 17 to September 17, 2022 — ticket holders for any live event were specifically asked not to attend those events if they felt any COVID-related symptoms. So it's a bit gaggy that the singer herself followed through with doing five entire concerts while experiencing symptoms.
We are HUGE Little Monsters here, but this wasn't the greatest thing ever to hear from Mother...
HBO's Gaga Chromatica Ball premieres Saturday, May 25 on Max.
