The gates to a medieval castle open and in comes a majestic queen riding a silver unicorn.

Juxtaposing the archaic castle is a ghostly hologram of Lady Gaga's face floating high above - welcoming you to a world where anything goes, where Mother Monster herself can pop out of a gigantic womb or be pressed into a meat grinder.

Lady Gaga launches into her top hit Born This Way in a jewel-encrusted black gown with outstretched wings like a goddess from hell. The crowd goes wild with their iconic Little Monster claw raised up high.

If you find the painful screams, the gory meat dresses and the almost-naked dancers' homoerotic caresses a little hard to stomach, then find the exit, because Lady Gaga couldn't care less.

Lady Gaga splays her legs - and freezes - before a male dancer's face, leaving the audience to finish the thought with their cheers.

All the breathless dancing and techno beats may have blanketed the au naturale essence of Lady Gaga's songwriting talent, and a highlight is when she rides a motorbike onto a stage that serves as her keyboard.

She sings the misty-eyed Hair on her keyboard and bellows, urging the audience to be 'as free as [their] hair'.
