There’s a reason Little Monsters call Lady Gaga “mother.” At a recent show on her Mayhem Ball tour, the superstar stopped mid-song and paused her performance for several minutes to help care for a fan in need of medical attention and water.
In a video shared to X pegging the moment to Gaga’s Tuesday (Nov. 11) concert in Antwerp, Belgium, the hitmaker sits at her piano while belting out a stripped-back version of “The Edge of Glory.” After hearing fans in the crowd cry for help, however, she immediately called for a time-out.
“Stop, stop, stop. Is everyone OK?” she says in the clip, instructing the crowd to keep quiet while directing crew members to get water. “Just wait one second everyone. If everyone could wait patiently, just so we can make sure they’re OK.”
“Let’s get her backstage and take care of her backstage,” Gaga continues in reference to the fan in need, causing a few surprised murmurs from others in the audience. “If everyone could just stay quiet for a moment please, thank you.”
As the struggling concertgoer was shepherded away, the 14-time Grammy winner called after her, “I hope you feel better.”
Promptly jumping back into her performance of “Edge of Glory” on piano, Gaga added between lyrics, “There’s a lot that’s more important than show business.”
The Antwerp concert comes toward the end of Mother Monster’s run of European shows on her Mayhem Ball trek. After a handful of performances in France, she’ll close out 2025 with an Australian leg.
Next year, Gaga will take the tour through Japan before doing one last victory lap through the United States and Canada in February, March and April.
The show follows on the heels of the Grammys unveiling its list of 2026 nominees, on which Gaga’s name appears quite a bit. The icon picked up a total of seven nods, coming second only to Kendrick Lamar, who scored nine. Among them are song and record of the year for “Abracadabra,” while her Billboard 200-topping album Mayhem is up for album of the year.
