Lady Gaga wore a car part on the red carpet.

The pop icon — who later walked the red carpet for the film’s premiere at the Nya West event venue in L.A. — revealed, "I did five shows with COVID."

"I shared it with everyone on my team and I said, 'I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable at work and you don't have to perform and you don't have to work that day, but I'm going to do the show,' because I just didn't want to let all the fans down," the “Just Dance” singer explained.

Gaga, who performed The Chromatica Ball Tour from July 2022 to September 2022, continued: "The way that I saw it also is that the fans were all putting themselves in harm's way every day coming to the show. During all my quick changes, I kept going. 'I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.'"

"I have been saying that the Chromatica Ball and this album in a lot of ways was the end of a time in my life and the beginning of a totally new one," the 38-year-old noted. "And I feel like that time is actually maybe a few albums of time that I was sort of saying goodbye to old wounds or scars or challenges. And with this tour, I felt really renewed to do something entirely different."
