LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Lady Gaga made her highly anticipated return to the Grammy stage with Bruno Mars, performing a heartfelt rendition of 'California Dreamin’ to honor those affected by California’s devastating wildfires.

The performance, meant to be a moving tribute at the 67th Grammy Awards, took an unexpected turn when Gaga’s dance movements appeared erratic and unusual, leaving fans both intrigued and confused.



 

Fans left divided by Lady Gaga's unconventional performance

Social media platforms buzzed with speculation, with some questioning Lady Gaga's well-being.

While some fans celebrated the tribute and the Grammy win, others remained fixated on Gaga’s stage movements.

One fan on X wrote, "Lady Gaga music is really good when she’s lowkey possessed by the devil, good for her good for her." Another commented, "Gaga was literally POSSESSED by the lady in red in ABRACADABRA." A user penned, "Who possessed Lady Gaga."



 



 



 

"Am I the only one or does Lady Gaga seem a bit… possessed or mentally ill… or both. Both can be true at the same time," a netizen opined. Someone tweeted, "Lady gaga been possessed by a spirit living in a victorian doll." One remarked, "Y’all i’m OBSESSED with abracadabra by lady gaga i’m about to levitate off of my bed like a possessed child in the 1920s."
