Lady Gaga left fans in awe as she took to the stage for a jaw-dropping performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California on Friday night.
It's the second time the pop star, 39, has headlined the annual music event, with her first being in 2017, but this time around she pulled out all the stops.
The Paparazzi hitmaker ensured it would be a performance fans would never forget, opening her set with track Bloody Mary, in which she donned a showstopping red dress and stood in front of a gothic-style backdrop complete with gargoyles and angels - with some fans likening the visuals to a 'satanic ritual'.
The set, which was split into four acts and described as an 'opera house in the desert' by the singer, then saw Gaga launch into songs including Abracadabra, Judas and Scheiße.
At one point, the stage turned into a giant chess board for the song Poker Face, with Gaga and her dancers performing a choreographed dance battle between two groups, with the star emerging victorious.
Amid the stunning visuals, striking sets, numerous costume changes and of course her killer vocals, it left fans all saying the same thing - that it was 'the best Coachella performance of all time'.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, in the wake of her show, music lovers were quick to share their praise and admiration for Lady Gaga's set.
They penned: 'oh lady gaga easily one of the best headliners in coachella history
