※Lady Gaga, in signature over-the-top costume, gave a soulful acoustic performance of her smash hit “Poker Face”. Less than a minute into the piano rendition, Lady Gaga smiled and stopped playing to ask the audience, “You know what this song is really about?” After a dramatic pause she confided that “I used to date this guy and while we were having sex, I used to think about women.” The crowd erupted as Ms. Gaga added a cheeky and impromptu “No, no, he can't read my 'poker face'!”
