When Lady Gaga met Bill Clinton
The Decade of Difference concert at the Hollywood Bowl celebrated Bill Clinton's 65th birthday and the 10-year milestone of the Clinton Foundation. Throughout the night, unexpected moments surprised, shocked, and in the end, delighted the crowd.
Lady Gaga befriends First Family
The moment that had everyone buzzing on Twitter was a backstage conversation between Lady Gaga and the Clintons. Lady Gaga switched outfits to a retro-looking gold gown with elbow-length gloves and even a faux beauty mark (solidifying the Marilyn Monroe comparison). She showed up in another backstage pose before the concert with former President Bill Clinton, and also Chelsea Clinton.
Chelsea shared the image on her Facebook page. “A highlight of tonight was meeting Lady Gaga backstage,” she said. “Her combination of creativity, intelligence and activism are inspiring – and, yes, she’s even more remarkable on stage than on youtube.”
Lady Gaga also delivered on stage. The singer changed the words of the song "Bad Romance" to "Bill Romance," stripping out of her dress to reveal a nude body suit underneath.
To the shock of the president, his wife, and his daughter, the singer proceeded to serenade the president, who was sitting just a few feet away from the dance diva. But the Lady won over the former First Family, who was caught up in the performance and dancing to the beat. Gaga slithered over to the stage where Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea stood and told them, "I'm going to dance with the whole family." She sang, "I love you Bill, and Chelsea too."
But Bill was warned: Clinton admitted that when he invited Lady Gaga, she told him her idea. The former president, who had a quadruple bypass in 2004, joked, "I got nervous when Gaga said she was planning to have a Marilyn moment, and I thought, 'I will have a heart attack for my 65th birthday.'"
