DUBAI: Lady Gaga, scheduled to perform at Meydan Racecourse in the UAE on Sept. 10, arrived in Dubai on Monday night.

She met with members of the press in a VIP room at the Dubai International Airport shortly after landing. She was clad in a floor length golden gown paired with a sparkling blue headpiece, created by a Dubai-based designer (“I will be posting it on my Instagram with all of the information and you’ll be able to report about it,” she said), as she fielded questions about whether or not she would be baring it all on stage.

“No, I will not be. I respect the culture here and this show will be a appropriate for all the fans here in Dubai,” she said. When her Dubai show was first announced, organizers said there would be “some edits” for the region. Gaga expanded on this.

“They mentioned to me that there were some restrictions, and I know there are some artists that are very strict about their policies of adhering to their art and not compromising, but I actually think it’s important to respect other cultures and not force them to adhere to the beliefs of your own country, and in fact, I think it’s a better way to connect with the people and to connect a message,” Gaga said.

‘My fans were so sweet at the airport I was so choked up! I have been dreaming of coming to the Middle East and finally #dreamscometrue,’ she wrote as she shared a number of photos on social media prior to making her way to her hotel.
