Lady Gaga Performs “Applause” at the VMAs

Lady Gaga performed “Applause” – the debut single from her upcoming ARTPOP album – for the first time live on stage at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. And, as always, she didn’t just simply sing the song. No, Lady Gaga set a new unofficial record of wearing five different costumes yet never leaving the stage as she got the crowd worked up during “Applause.”
