Lady Gaga’s Coachella Performance Reaction
Lady Gaga responded to a fan’s meme regarding the absence of several albums during her recent performance at Coachella 2025 – check out her comments below.
Highlights from Coachella 2025
Last weekend (April 11), Lady Gaga headlined the first night of Coachella 2025, showcasing her impressive career with hits like Judas, Poker Face, Abracadabra, Paparazzi, Alejandro, Died with a Smile, “Born This Way,” and more.
However, notable albums such as the 2016 release *Artpop*, *Joanne* (2016), *Chromatica* (2020), and *Harlequin* (2024) were missing from the setlist, leading to the creation of a new meme.

During Gaga’s performance, she was seen lying next to several skeletons, which a fan humorously turned into a meme on TikTok. The image depicted Gaga alongside skeletons, each one labeled with an album title that was overlooked in the Coachella setlist.
The fan captioned the post: “Well, Gaga doesn’t remember *Artpop*, and I doubt she will remember *Harlequin*.” In response, Gaga noted, “*Harlequin* is one of my proudest productions.” See the post and Gaga’s reply here.
‘*Harlequin*’ was released at the end of September last year as the soundtrack for Joker: Folie à Deux, in which she starred alongside Joaquin Phoenix. In March, she also launched her latest album, *MayHem*.
In a four-star review of *MayHem*, NME commented: “There is an effortless confidence in how Gaga adheres to her maximalist vision, without yielding to modern pop trends. Most tracks run close to or over four minutes, creating mini-epics in the TikTok era.”
“Ultimately, *MayHem* feels like a quintessential Gaga album, as it is deeply enjoyable. It’s akin to reconnecting with an old friend who makes sense even when they seem to be rambling. Seventeen years after her emergence with *Just Dance*, Lady Gaga remains an incredibly popular figure of creativity.”
After her second Coachella 2025 headline this weekend (April 18), Gaga will kick off her first live dates in Singapore in over 13 years, a major free concert for over a million fans on Copacabana Beach in Rio, as well as tours across North America, Europe, the UK, and her first Australian tour since 2014.
In other news, her record has landed at number four on the top 10 best-selling vinyl albums of 2025.
