Your support makes all the difference.Lady Gaga brought back a number of her most iconic costumes for a video encouraging people to vote in the forthcoming US election.
In a video shared to her Twitter on Friday (30 October), the “Born This Way” singer donned some of the most recognisable videos from her musical career for a voting PSA.
These included her meat dress from the 2010 MTV VMAs, a blue cut-out bodysuit from the “Poker Face” video and a silver geometric dress and yellow wig from the Monster Ball tour.
Thanking her fans who had already voted, Lady Gaga then turned her attention to people who were undecided or had no intention to vote on Tuesday (3 November), explaining that they were “still accountable”.
“Let’s be real, you know who I voted for,” she said. “But believe me and listen to me now, even if you disagree with me, your vote still matters to the world.”
Gaga continued: “I’ve never been shy to make my voice heard. I’ve said a lot of things in a lot of different ways, wearing a lot of different outfits, make-up, hats, dresses made out of meat, jumping off of stadiums, screaming on stage.
“I may have seemed to shift and change, but one thing that has never changed is my voice and what I believe. My voice will be heard this election. Will yours?”
