When people think about Lady Gaga they think about her meat dress, or her coming out of an egg at the Grammy's, or something else crazy. But Lady Gaga is so much more than that. Her Joanne era is a tribute to her aunt and namesake who passed away in 1974 from Lupus. One of my best friends and I had the privilege of going to her Joanne tour at Fenway Park last weekend.

I knew that Lady Gaga was going to impress the LGBT community, but I did not know that she was going to stand up for grievers so much. She has quite a few songs including "Edge of Glory" and "Joanne" that are about losing someone that you love. She told us that her acting coach, Elizabeth, passed away the night before and her beautiful speech moved me to tears.

I was so humbled that this huge pop star that built her career on being crazy and eccentric was finally able to perform using her raw talent. She used this opportunity to show us her heart and let us know that we aren't alone. Stephani Joanne told us about her and her family's pain and grief and it was emotional and beautiful. I loved seeing her be so open and honest. The entire crowd was moved to tears and absolutely silent.

She dedicated songs to her Aunt Joanne, Elizabeth her acting coach, the LGBT community, everyone in the audience and had us shine a light for someone else in the crowd that needs someone, our loved ones in heaven, the victims of the horrible flooding in Houston, Texas, and her parents who were proudly sitting front row watching their oldest daughter live her dreams.

Her concert was fun and full of both new and old songs that are high energy and fun that we all danced to, but she also sang heartbreaking ballads that we shined our lights to and swayed.

She left us with these parting words that will remain with me forever:

"And if you didn't think you could possibly relate to me until tonight, thanks for letting me borrow your hat."- Stephani Joanne Angelina "Lady Gaga" Germanotta
