In a dazzling display of showbiz magic, Bruno Mars surprised fans at the grand opening of the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles on August 15, 2024, by bringing out none other than Lady Gaga. The collaboration, kept under wraps until the last moment, was a highlight of the $2 billion arena's inaugural event.
As the new home of the LA Clippers, the Intuit Dome buzzed with activity during its grand opening, drawing celebrities and fans in excitement. While Bruno Mars took the stage to perform his hits, the real surprise came when Lady Gaga joined him for a special duet.
The two stars, both 38, performed their brand-new track “Die with a Smile,” a product of their highly anticipated collaboration. This song was heard live only by those in the arena. The moment became even more memorable when Mars introduced Gaga with heartfelt admiration, saying, “Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for the icon, pop royalty, Lady Gaga,” as she walked majestically onto the stage.
Gaga did not disappoint, appearing with an oversized beehive, a pink and white checkered mini dress, and white tights. Behind the keyboard, she effortlessly added her signature touch to the performance, prompting an eruption of applause from the audience.
In a clip shared by the Intuit Dome’s official social media account, Gaga was seen asking the crowd, “How you feeling L.A.?” before diving into the chorus of their new song. The room was electric as Mars and Gaga shared smiles during their duet.
The grand opening event was a star-studded affair, with celebrities like Angela Bassett, Simu Liu, Sophia Bush, Meghan Trainor, Kelsea Ballerini, Jennifer Lopez, and Derek Hough in attendance, adding more glamour to the evening.
