It was a scaled-down, but just as energetic version of her Enigma Las Vegas residency show, with 90 minutes of music and multiple costume changes.
"Thank you, Apollo Theater! What a historical moment for me, in my life," Gaga told the crowd at her first New York City show in two years, and her first at the Apollo.
She also cursed up a storm, yelling "Are you ready to f-----g party tonight? Are we making history?"
Gaga kicked off the show with "Just Dance," "Poker Face," and "LoveGame." She told the crowd: "Ask the question: What is your pronoun?" before launching into "Million Reasons." Then came "Born This Way." She ended with "Shallow" from "A Star Is Born."
Spotted in the crowd were Michael Douglas and wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, Amy Poehler, Adam Lambert and Clive Davis.
Gaga also gave a shout out to Pride Month and acknowledged the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots.
The show was for SiriusXM subscribers and Pandora listeners to mark SiriusXM and Pandora coming together as one company. It will air in its entirety on SiriusXM Hits 1, Howard Stern's Howard 101 and Pandora.

Will starring in the new spinoff The Hills: New Beginnings cause even more troubles for the Pratts or are the siblings willing to put their differences aside and finally be civil with each other?
Stephanie Pratt hasn’t spoken to her brother or his wife for a few years
When The Hills ended back in 2010, many of us saw how intense Stephanie Pratt’s feud had gotten with her brother, Spencer, and his wife, Heidi Montag.
Over the course of the show, the Pratts have made it clear that having a relationship with each other is in no one’s best interest and have not been on speaking terms ever since.
Now that The Hills cast is returning to reality television with their new spin-off series, The Hill: New Beginnings, Stephanie Pratt will be working with her brother and his wife once again and is a little nervous about doing so.

While attending The Hills: New Beginnings premiere in Los Angeles on June 19, Pratt opened up to Entertainment Tonight about her estranged relationship with her brother and admitted that being around him made her “really uncomfortable.”
“I just haven’t seen my [brother Spencer and Heidi]. This might be the first time I see them,” she said without naming the couple. “The show is just the biggest part of my life right now because it’s all so real and every aspect of me is on it.”
Stephanie Pratt then revealed that there is “nothing” that would make her reconcile with Spencer and Heidi, though the couple has revealed they no longer have hard feelings toward her.
Fans will see the hardships Stephanie Pratt had to go through
Though Stephanie Pratt was excited to return to her reality television roots and film with some of her closest friends, working alongside her brother was something she has been dreading for some time.
While they are no longer on speaking terms, the Pratts’ feud has gotten so intense over the years, that the podcast host has had to be hospitalized.
“It’s a few times,” the reality star said about the comments she made on her Pratt Cast podcast in April. “It’s just my… I can’t get into it right now.”
Though she couldn’t speak more on the topic, Stephanie Pratt did share that fans will get an inside look into the ongoing struggles she’s faced trying to make amends with Spencer and Heidi Pratt.
“When I first got here, I was seeing them for the first time after they just [done that],” Stephanie shared. “I’m trying to reconnect because it’s been like eight years of being estranged and you’ll see that kind of happen, and then you might see us get on or you might just see us literally go to hell.”
So far, Pratt is done trying to reconcile with her brother and is standing clear of him to avoid causing any more trouble within their family.

The 32-year-old shared a video to her Instagram Story Monday night panning down a wall of framed promotional posters for the A&E reality show, which ran from 2004 to 2012. "So many memories," Lyssa captioned the short clip.
Other Chapman family members who appeared on the show aside from Dog, Beth, Lyssa and Duane Jr. were Dog's son Leland Chapman and Dog and Beth's children Cecily Barmore-Chapman, Garry Chapman and Bonnie Chapman.
Earlier in the day, Lyssa revealed a throwback photo of Beth and Duane Jr., which she said "popped up on my Facebook memories." In the photo, Duane Jr. eats from a buffet table while Beth flexes her bicep muscle for the camera.

Lyssa also posted a tribute to Beth earlier in the day, though she didn't write a caption for the photo of herself and Beth. The photo was a throwback selfie of the two of them smiling together.
Fans were happy to see Lyssa posting about Beth, as the pair appear to have had a rocky relationship as of late. They got into a feud via social media after Beth alleged that Lyssa didn't acknowledge her on Mother's Day and that she kept her and Dog from attending her daughter Abbie's high school graduation.

Lyssa was quick to reject those claims and cleared up confusion on Twitter, writing that she "did write on Mother's Day." She also claimed that Beth and Dog never intended to attend the graduation in the first place.
Beth was rushed to the hospital Saturday morning after encountering a breathing issue at home described by TMZ as a "choking" event. She's been in a medically-induced coma at the Queen Medical Center in Honolulu since shortly after she arrived.
A source "directly connected" to Dog and Beth told The Blast her condition is "touch and go." The outlet reported that she was taken to the hospital after the "choking incident" at home left her unable to "catch her breath." Beth was placed in a medically induced coma to allow her body to recover from the traumatic emergency, The Blast reported.
The outlet also reported that doctors inserted a ventilation tube to allow her to breath better, but said the tube has since been removed. The family reportedly wants to ensure Beth is "comfortable as possible" while they pray for her recovery.
According to The Blast, the entire Chapman family is with Beth in the hospital as she remains comatose.
Lady Gaga has brought her renowned Enigma set to an eager crowd of SiriusXM subscribers and Pandora listeners at Harlem's Apollo Theatre, in celebration of the two companies' initiative to join forces under the world's largest audio entertainment platform. The audio from the live performance is to be broadcasted this Friday on SiriusXM Hits 1, Howard Stern's Howard 101 and the product of the recent acquisition, Pandora NOW.
Earlier today prior to her much anticipated performance, Lady Gaga was spotted leaving The Mark Hotel NYC in a vampy, all-black, head-to-toe leather look.
Later in the night, Lady Gaga took the Apollo stage by storm, performing her Enigma set of signature hits and multiple fan favorites. Her "A Star Is Born" co-star Willam as well as the renowned drag queen Alaska were both in the crowd cheering Gaga on as she performed one hit after another and reminisced on her early days of trying to make it.
"I am so hot... And it reminds me of when I was 20 and I thought I was so famous and nobody knew who I was..."
Watch the clips from Lady Gaga's performance at Apollo Theatre:
New beginnings began anew on Monday with the premiere of The Hills: New Beginnings, MTV’s long-awaited (and bizarrely edited) revival of its classic reality soap opera.
We entered New Beginnings with two burning questions: First, will any characters discuss The Hills‘ original finale, which revealed the entire series to have been scripted? And perhaps more importantly, how does former O.C. star Mischa Barton fit into this equation? (We also have endless questions about the show’s decision to credit Barton as “introducing,” but those feel like off-camera discussions.)
Monday’s all-over-the-place premiere (titled “I Don’t Hold Grudges… JK!”) answered one of those questions, but like all timeless works of art, it also presented us with a slew of fresh head-scratchers. For example: How did Michael Strahan and Sara Haines wind up hosting this after show?
To sort through all the madness, here’s a rundown of everything we learned in New Beginnings‘ debut hour (and seven minutes):
* Now a divorced single mother, Audrina Patridge has had a “crazy couple of years,” all of which she recapped during a totally organic conversation with Heidi Pratt and Whitney Port on the first night in her new home. (You’ve got to appreciate Audrina’s priorities: This girl hasn’t unpacked a single box, yet she’s already hosting get-togethers with frenemies she hasn’t seen in nearly a decade.)
* Audrina also “can’t shake” her lingering feelings for Justin Bobby (aka the ’90s John Stamos of reality television), which led to an uncomfortable non-date in the first hour. Audrina’s mother, presumably a licensed healthcare professional, advised her daughter to “use, like, 30 condoms” if they decided to have sex.
* Speaking of moms being moms, Pamela Anderson is adorably close with her 23-year-old son Brandon Lee, a childhood friend of Brody Jenner’s. For the record, Brandon doesn’t think of her as a sex symbol. Now, he just thinks of her as someone who “moved to France when Trump got elected and was like, ‘Peace out!'”
* Despite projecting an image of inner peace, noted crystal aficionado Spencer Pratt remains at odds with his sister Stephanie, who has returned to Los Angeles from London (new accent explained!) to repair the bridge of their relationship — which she’ll probably refer to as their “London Bridge,” because she’s British now.
* Speaking of Spencer, he revealed that he would “love to be famous again.” Hold for audience gasps.
* Brody and his “nightmare” wife are having marital problems, none of which have to do with the fact that she shares a name with his father:
* We sort of got an answer to the Mischa Barton of it all. She’s friends with Stephanie. They attended the London Royal Academy of Fake Accents together.
* For a show filmed in 2019, New Beginnings references Perez Hilton a lot.
