While performing her song “Paparazzi,” Gaga’s white costume began dripping with fake blood, viaBillboard.
She ended her legendary performance by dangling from a rope, in an artistic interpretation of her own death.
Was the whole thing a bit dramatic?

Absolutely, but there was a good reason, as with all things Gaga.
And for anyone wondering, yes, it was a couture creation made of real meat.
This may seem wildly inappropriate at first glance, but the story behind the dress is thought-provoking.

Gaga thought this was hilarious, but it also got her creative wheels turning.
Channeling that raw emotion into fashion proved difficult.
“It smelled like meat.

It was thrilling to wear,” she added.
