The pop star did not fall short of expectations of her eccentric and fantastical concerts, providing the Colombian audience in the Campin Stadium with an impressive performance.

The concert entailed a complete medieval castle and several bizarre costumes, accompanied by extravagant Gaga choreography. Newspaper El Pais even deemed the performance as more of a “conceptual music theater show” than a concert.

One of Gaga’s antics allegedly even included her recreating her own birth, with the singer pushing on a large constructed stomach on stage and a horde of dancers popping out of a massive vagina for the number “Born This Way,” also the name of the artist’s tour.

Newspaper El Tiempo reported that Lady Gaga’s concert, exploring a “matrimony between theater, scandal, and pop sound is a type of show that has been seen little in Colombia.”

Apparently, the pop star understood the magnitutde of her show, being quoted as saying “I came to bring revolution to Colombia … When I finish this show some of you will stay with me forever.”
