All you little monsters in the UAE, you better be prepared for this: Lady Gaga wants to give you the show of a lifetime.
In an interview with Chanel maestro Karl Lagerfeld for the latest Issue of Harper�s Bazaar USA, the pop star discusses her upcoming debut in the Middle East and what she wants to do when she heads to Dubai for her September concert.
�I�m very excited to go there, see my fans, give them the show of a lifetime. And, of course, I must explore the local designers and go shopping!,� she tells Lagerfeld.
Interviewee Lagerfeld tells her: �I hope you like it. I loved it when I showed the Chanel Dubai collection there,� referring to his star-studed 2014/15 Chanel Cruise collection showcase in the city in May.
Besides their mutual love for Dubai, the pair also discuss Gaga�s ArtRave: The Artpop Ball tour, and its seven-month schedule.
Asked if she had different looks planned for different cities, Gaga says there are no particular looks planned for this one.
�I bring lots of vintage pieces with me�jewels, hats, bags�and I�m also very fortunate to get sent beautiful couture and runway looks all over the world,� she says. �I just wear what makes me feel good for the day. Right now I�m enjoying feeling like a lady. Wearing dresses, in love, walking Asia (her French Bulldog) in gardens, singing jazz with Tony Bennett.�
Gaga and Bennett last week made official their long-in-the-works album project. To be called Cheek to Cheek, the album will feature a collection of jazz numbers, and will be out on September 23.
