Lady Gaga’s hit “Monster Ball Tour” is reportedly facing a serious deficit, despite being completely sold out.
The “Bad Romance” charttopper – who describes her stage show as “ostentatious and over-the-top” – takes a financial hit every night she performs on the North American leg of her tour, which has so far overspent by more than $2 million even though fans quickly snatched up tickets to every concert.
According to new reports, Gaga’s massive tour costs have been run up by the singer’s elaborate taste in stage design, costumes, and props — including a $50,000 bathtub she used while making a promotional appearance on the UK TV talent show The X Factor last November.
“The concerts are losing money hand over fist because they’ve spent a fortune on pricey costumes, technical equipment and elaborate set designs. She spent $500,000 on one stage alone,” a set tattle blabbed to Britain’s The Sun this week. “But Lady Gaga gets what Lady Gaga wants. Her wardrobe is huge and she wants to shock – and that costs serious money.”
According to her spokesman, the 23-year-old singer/songwriter just “doesn’t care” about finances. While she has already overspent massively, Lady Gaga’s bills are expected to soar again when she picks out a completely different set for the European part of her tour.
“I can’t comment on figures but it wouldn’t be a surprise. Gaga puts everything into her live shows. I wouldn’t want to be her accountant,” he told the tabloid.
