Lady Gaga Gives Emotional Speech Before Performing 'Shallow' for First Time in Vegas

Lady Gaga performed her A Star Is Born song “Shallow” live for a public audience for the first time during the opening night of her Enigma residency on Friday (December 28) in Las Vegas.

The 32-year-old entertainer performed both her and Bradley Cooper‘s verses in the song and she broke down in tears in the middle of the song.

“I love you so much. I’ve known some of you for so long. Do you remember this?” Gaga said in reference to her vintage concert tee before starting the song. “That’s you and me.”

“And for a really long time, I felt so misunderstood,” Gaga added. “I thought the way I dressed, the way I talk, the attitude, they thought it was shallow. But this sh-t is deep as f–k. I love you so much. I’m so proud to be your star, but the truth is, you gave birth to me.”

Gaga reportedly encouraged fans to share videos from the concert online, so we’re sharing a fan-shot video here.
