“I wish I could stay and watch all these amazing performances but I have to go back to Madison Square Garden,” Lady Gaga explained. She subsequently departed the VMAs merely 15 minutes after the show commenced.
Lady Gaga was headlining her Mayhem Ball concert 18 miles away from the VMAs venue. Both events were scheduled to start at 8pm, with Lady Gaga taking to the stage in Madison Square Garden at 9.30pm, reports the Mirror US.
Throughout her VMAs address, Lady Gaga honored the fellow artists in attendance. “Being an artist is an attempt to connect the souls of people all over the world,” she began.
The performer continued, “Being an artist is a discipline, a craft meant for reaching into someone’s heart, where it grows its roots, and reminding them to dream. Being an artist is a responsibility to make the audience smile, dance, cry, release at any turn. It is a method of building understanding and celebrating community.”
Lady Gaga took a moment to honor her fiancé Michael Polansky during her acceptance speech. “To my partner in all things Michael, creating this year with you was a beautiful, beautiful dream, and you have been my partner every step of the way,” she expressed.
