The last time Lady Gaga performed in Washington State, it was also at the Tacoma Dome and she was opening for New Kids on the Block. Its hard to believe that was only a little over a year ago, now that the 24-year-old Gaga is the worlds biggest star. In shows throughout her current concert extravaganza, the 2010 Monster Ball, Gagas simulated having her heart ripped out of her chest, dripping with fake blood, pounded her piano keys with her 5-inch spike heels, worn a bra that shoots fire from the nipples, and shimmied and thrust her hips like some unholy love child of Prince and Madonna — the Lady truly is legendary. Fans, get your bodysuits and cigarette sunglasses on Tacomas never had a night like this. ERIN K. THOMPSON
