Lady Gaga just performed a bloody stand-out tribute to David Bowie at the Grammys, going full Ziggy Stardust to honour the late singer / legend by performing a medley of a bunch of his biggest hits.
As one could reasonably have expected, the whole set-up was trip AF. Three-time Grammy winner and long-time Bowie collaborator Nile Rodgers directed the thing, and everything – the costumes, the track selection, the set-design, the dedication – smacked of feverish dedication. Gaga received a standing ovation, and goddamn rightly so.
Check out this costume change:
The track list is: ‘Space Oddity‘, ‘Changes‘, ‘Ziggy Stardust‘, ‘Suffragette City‘, ‘Rebel, Rebel‘, ‘Fashion‘, ‘Fame‘, ‘Let’s Dance‘, and ‘Heroes‘, with a teeny tiny hint of ‘Under Pressure‘ thrown in there.
Here’s a bunch of videos until we can get our hands on the real thing:

Ha. True, tho:
@highsnobiety it looks like Tilda Swinton doing Gaga doing Elvis doing Bowie.

According to her Insta, Gaga was listening to Bowie’s last album ‘Blackstar’ while getting her make-up done, and bawling at that.
