well, here's the obligatory after-concert-post. i don't have much to say this time bc i'm actually quite speechless. the show was so much to process, the interludes were SO good and i can't wait to analyze everything. she looked so extremely hot and the vocals were even better than at the joanne ball i'm just so in love with this woman. and nick knight's art 🥺🫶🏻 me and my friends had golden circle early entry and we lined up around 9 am but they ditched the number system and we were in line with pitch ee and other package holders. they made us stay in the sun for several hours but we were able to collect some heat protection from the train station to make it a bit more bearable. after we went through check-in around 3pm, we were given different lines for our package and had to wait till 6pm for them to open the gates. the organisation was horrible, but that's not on gaga. oh and the vip merch we got was super hq this time! after they let us in everything happened super quickly, people stormed to the stage and it was SO crowded but we got a spot kinda close to the stage although we weren't really able to see much bc people in front of us were taller. it was also impossible to dance or turn around bc there were so many people pushing. we didn't have any water and almost passed out the whole time but after all it went okay! so around 9pm gaga finally hit the stage (they cut the pre-act for unknown reasons) and performed until ~11pm. it was AMAZING but i'm sure most people watched a fan-made livestream anyway so i'm not going into too much detail here ;p my favorite parts were the interludes (especially the poetry one), 911 (i even lost a ponytail during that one bc i felt it too hard lmao), alice and hold my hand but the show was perfect from start to end. after it was over we waited in line at the merch stand for one hour and i got the "be free" tour shirt. i'm so happy i got to experience the first show of the tour, that's a privilege i never thought i'd have. if i feel well enough by then, arnhem will be my second and last chromatica ball. ⚔️💓 #chromaticaball
