After shocking fans by arriving at the music awards in an egg, now Gaga has revealed how she prepared for the event

Lady Gaga’s Born This Way single hit airwaves last Friday, and it seems the star is prepared to go to any lengths to launch her latest track. Earlier this week the outlandish singer arrived at the star-studded Grammy awards in a giant egg, and now it’s been revealed she spent three days in a coffin, in preparation for the big event.

We’ve come to expect all kinds of weird and wonderful performances from the Gaga we know and love. But Sunday’s scene-stealing entrance at the Grammys – where she arrived cocooned in the Hussein Chalayan-designed egg, and hatched live on stage – floored us all.

Now it’s been revealed just how seriously Gaga is taking her 'rebirth' after her creative director revealed she’d spent three days in a mesh covered coffin 'incubating' in preparation for the event.

‘She was incubating and, in birthing the new race, she had to go through a DNA transition, so before she was born we had to actually transfer her in a mesh box to keep the process going,’ her creative director, Laurieann Gibson explained.

Right then.
