Lady Gaga hit the Coachella 2025 stage for the second weekend of the festival on Friday night. Midway through the second song of her set, a technical glitch cut her mic out.

However, instead of stopping or faltering, Lady Gaga powered through. She was quick to switch to a handheld microphone and performed the rest of the track without missing a beat.

This moment quickly turned into a viral talking point among fans.

The mic mishap occurred during her performance of Abracadabra from her new album, Mayhem. Lady Gaga told the crowd from behind her piano later in the night:

"I'm sorry my mic was broken for a second. At least you know I sing live, and I guesslall we can do is give our best, right? I am definitely giving you my best tonight. I love you so much."

This comment visibly lit up social media, with some fans praising her professionalism and vocals, which did not waver despite not having a working headset mic.
