The artists’ now-legendary debut featured a few key ingredients: a white bodysuit, fishnet tights and a bucket of blood.
Singing about the perils of fame, being dragged out from beneath a fallen chandelier then bleeding to death in front of a roomful of celebrities: Lady Gaga was not shy about making her debut at the MTV Video Music Awards. The year was 2009 — many will remember it as the year rapper Ye stage-crashed 19-year-old Taylor Swift and suggested her award for Best Female Video should have gone to Beyoncé instead.
In a piece published immediately after the VMAs, The Daily Mail accused Gaga of having “garnered column inches mainly for her fashion choices rather than her raunchy pop music,” describing Gaga herself as “outrageous,” “eccentric” and her outfits as “bizarre.” “She accepted her award for Best New Artist in a face-obscuring red get-up that would have made even Isabella Blow arch her eyebrows,” wrote a similarly skeptical Jon Caramanica, critic at the New York Times.
