Lady Gaga Shines with ‘Summerboy’ Performance at Mayhem Ball After 16 Years

## Lady Gaga’s Spectacular Mayhem Ball Tour Kickoff

Lady Gaga is certainly making her presence felt! On Wednesday night, she launched her Mayhem Ball tour in Las Vegas, showcasing her latest music while diving into some nostalgic tracks. Among these was “Summerboy,” a song she hadn’t performed in nearly two decades.

### A Nostalgic Performance

During the show, Gaga delivered an unforgettable rendition of “Summerboy.” She played the guitar surrounded by vibrantly energetic dancers, evoking the atmosphere of a steamy summer club. This memorable track was sneakily included later in the setlist, following the debut of her new bonus song “Kill for Love.”

### A Look Back in Time

Prior to this performance, the only other occasion Gaga had sung “Summerboy” was back in 2007 during Lollapalooza, when she delivered the song in bold attire consisting of panties and black stockings. This was well before her meteoric rise to fame with her first single, “Just Dance,” and the album *The Fame*, released in 2008.

### Celebrating Nostalgia in the Setlist

The Mayhem Ball concert was filled with nostalgic moments as Gaga performed various hits from her past. She kicked off the show with “Aura” from *Artpop*, followed by a condensed version of her single “Applause,” which she hadn’t performed since 2020. The setlist also included “Million Reasons” from her *Joanne* album and a fresh take on “Just Dance.”

Gaga expressed heartfelt gratitude to the audience during her performance: “Thank you for all the ways you’ve made me so strong for so long. Thank you for being such a wonderful community I can rely on and come here to be myself.” Her appreciation for her fans was palpable as she acknowledged the love and support they’ve shown her over the years.

How do you feel about Gaga bringing back some of her classic songs after such a long time?
