Inauguration Day Open Post: Hosted By Lady Gaga In Fancy “Star Wars” Cosplay
CNET says that the look Lady Gaga chose to wear as she arrived ahead of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris‘ Presidential inauguration today has the internet drawing some comparisons. Not to Madonna, as is usually the case, but instead to the intergalactic fight between good and evil known as Star Wars. Gaga showed up looking like an all-white Sith Lord, and honestly, is all-white anything the vibe after that insurrection?
Gaga will be performing the National Anthem today soon and she showed up yesterday in Washington in one of her business-casual looks that she likes for “serious” engagements. Of course, since it’s Gaga, she showed up looking like a villain from Star Wars.

Some people thought she could also be serving Princess Leia with that updo and so it gave the meme-makers a lot to work with:

There is a lot of unrest in America and Washington particularly, and so conservative protestors were marching along the streets. Lady Gaga once again jumped to action, or at least her music did, as a pizzeria blared Perfect Illusion to drown them out. Really? Her least-relevant single? Applause would have been more acceptable.

And for those of you excited to see if Gaga leaps from the top of the Capitol Building to start her performance as she did at the Super Bowl, here’s some distant-ass video from Gaga’s rehearsals. I don’t know if I see a harness rig set up so she’s probably gonna stay on the ground this time–sorry folks:

I mean, I can barely hear but no matter how today goes, let’s be honest, the most iconic performance of any nation’s anthem goes to Fergie once and forever.
Talk about historic! But maybe Gaga will warble and jazz it up just as iconically. Here’s a live stream of today’s inauguration if you wanna find out:
