Lady Gaga Expected to Hatch Any Minute Now

The Grammys are airing tonight—you’re not watching?—and Lady Gaga arrived in an egg being carried by members of the Haus of Gaga.

Two things:

1. This concept was a little soft-boiled, no? Did she poach the idea from someone else? She couldn’t have hatched a better plan? Etc. (Glasgow Rose, I’m looking at you).

2. Come the fuck on, Gaga. Look, I recognize that every unresolved phrase in pop music over the last decade sprang fully formed from your high forehead, but that doesn’t give you the right to…actually, no, it probably does give you the right to be carried aloft in a disturbingly translucent plastic egg.

Gaga warned the world of this shortly before her appearance on the Grammys red carpet. She tweeted thusly, on the Twitters: “This is Nicola, Haus of Gaga: Gaga is in incubation. Tonight’s performance is in collaboration with Hussein Chalayan and House of Mugler. X”

I don’t even know what that means.
