In 2013 Lady Gaga surprised everyone when she completely stripped herself in front of her audience while performing on stage.
She was performing her song, Venus, at the G-A-Y nightclub in London, and she was wearing a white flowing gown with a white thong underneath. The performance started normally and everyone there was singing along when she started lifting the gown to show the thong:
Seeing that the audience was loving it and cheering her for it she lowered the thong and flashed her privates, making everyone cheer even louder.
As she ended the song she turned away from the crowd and started removing the gown, followed by her thong and walked off the stage with her arms up and no clothes on:
After the pictures and videos of the concert were released online her fans became divided by the performance, with many applauding her for her inspiring body positivity and others being repulsed by seeing her do this in public and in front of a crowd of onlookers.
Lady Gaga, being who she is, loved the backlash and soon enough did that and many more scandalous things in the following years.
