00:00The controversial US pop diva Lady Gaga landed in Dubai Monday night for her first ever show
00:22in the Middle East.
00:23The pop star is scheduled to perform at the Maidan Racecourse on September 10.
00:30Clad in a floor-length golden gown paired with a sparkling blue headpiece created by
00:34Dubai-based designer, Lady Gaga met members of the press in a VIP room at the Dubai International
00:40Airport shortly after landing.
00:42The singer talked about clothes, her show and what she'll be doing in the UAE.
01:12But I actually believe that it's important to respect other cultures and not force them
01:19to adhere to the beliefs of your own country and in fact I think it is a better way to
01:24connect with the people and connect the message.
01:27Most importantly while I'm here I'd like to leave a message of light and happiness and
01:34creativity and freedom with the fans and that is more important than my clothes.
01:40Her world tour Art Crave, the art pop ball, has been a year in the making.
01:44She said she'll be in Dubai for four days and hopes to experience the local fashion,
01:48food and artistry.
01:49We planned this tour for over a year and I'm very excited to share it with all my fans.
01:56I have really really been part, it was a strong heartache not being able to be near them so
02:03thank you for giving me the opportunity to come be with them.
02:07I have always put art in the front and with art pop I wanted to make a statement about
02:13the kind of music and artists that I've always been, something that would be iconic for my
02:20fans that they could always say we are students of art pop, we put art in the front.
02:26I hope while I'm here in Dubai that I can speak about supporting the artists, supporting
02:33creativity and part of that will be in my traveling around Dubai to support young designers
02:40to see their clothes as well as listening to local Dubai music and food, those sorts
02:47of things.
02:48I really believe that the artist is the one who should be put in the front of the commercial.
02:54When it comes to Little Monsters and Me, it is about much more than just the music, it
02:59is about the message, a message of equality, a message of uniqueness and strength, a message
03:06of compassion where we support one another and I'm excited to see them because around
03:12the world monsters are all linked by the same sort of connection and message so I can't
03:18wait to give them a hug and thank them for bringing me here.
03:23This is a magnificent opportunity for a young Italian girl from New York with a modest Italian
03:30American family.
03:32After the press meet, Lady Gaga went outside to meet her passionate fans, some of whom
03:37came all the way from Turkey and Bahrain.
03:40Irish Iden Belieza for tabloid.
03:53I love Gaga, I come from Turkey, she hugged me, she hugged me, she hugged me, she hugged
04:23me.
04:24It's my dream.
04:25I love her.
04:26Gaga, Gaga.
