Lady Gaga celebrates 28th birthday, performs 1st of 7 shows at NYC’s closing Roseland Ballroom

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Lady Gaga celebrated her 28th birthday with an energetic but short concert at the Roseland Ballroom in her first of seven concerts at the closing venue.

Gaga performed for an hour Friday night in front of a feverish crowd. She was in top form as she sang nearly a dozen of her songs, including “Just Dance,” ”Born This Way,” ”Poker Face” and “Applause.” The concert’s main surprise: It was too short. After she ended, fans waited for the pop star to hit the stage again.

The New York-born singer performed some tracks from her recent album, “ARTPOP,” which has struggled to match the success of her other releases. But onstage, she showed no signs of slowing down.

Gaga’s actor-boyfriend Taylor Kinney attended the concert.
