Lady Gaga will possibly debut a brand new pop show instead of Enigma in 2023, to go with her Jazz & Piano engagement in Las Vegas.
According to journalist John Katsilometes from The Las Vegas Review Journal, Lady Gaga is continuing her Jazz & Piano Vegas show in 2023, but she is preparing to replace Vegas' Enigma with a refreshed show that will have songs from Chromatica in it as well.
“Enigma will be revived at Dolby Live. We understand a pop production is planned, in 2023, but not Enigma. ...a new pop-style production, with numbers added from “Chromatica,” to perform next year."

Lady Gaga took The Chromatica Ball to The Netherlands with a sold out show in GelreDom stadium in Arnhem.
The last time Lady Gaga performed in The Netherlands, before The Chromatica Ball, was on January 20th, 2018 with her Joanne World Tour. 4 years after, she triumphantly returned, this time in Arnhem, where she took the stage in GelreDom stadium, in front of ~40,000 fans.
There were no changes in the setlist or wardrobe, except an extended "Born This Way" piano segment. Gaga, her dancers, and the band members all took a bow at the end of the show.
Gaga also shared a video of her backstage during the show, recording herself while wearing her new Atomic Shake Lip Lacquer in ruby by Haus Labs proving the quality of her makeup brand and giving a sneak peek of the tour behind the scenes.
The Chromatica Ball is now moving to London, UK for the last two dates of the European leg, on July 29th and 30th.

Lady Gaga returned to Stade de France in Paris, and broke her personal record for the biggest single tour concert attendance, with her sold out Chromatica Ball Tour in France.
Almost exactly 10 years ago, in September 2012, Lady Gaga held her Born This Way Ball in Stade de France before a crowd of slightly more than 70,000 people. A decade later, she returned to the heart of France, and performed her sold out Chromatica show in front of 76,000 fans in Paris, thus breaking a personal record for the biggest crowd attendance at a single concert from one of Gaga's many tours.
Gaga didn't change much from the previous show in Stockholm, so there were no surprises in terms of the setlist and wardrobe, except a slightly different jacket for the "Hold My Hand" performance. She performed both "1000 Doves" and "Fun Tonight". There were no additional changes, but that hasn't stopped thousands of fans to enjoy in the amazing atmosphere created inside Stade de France.
The next stop for the Chromatica Ball is Arnhem, Netherlands on July 26th.

Lady Gaga brought The Chromatica Ball to a sold out Friends Arena in Stockholm, Sweden Thursday night.
Lady Gaga performed her Chromatica set in front of approximately 65,000 fans in Sweden's capital city.

As she concluded "Shallow,” “Always Remember Us This Way,” and "The Edge of Glory" on the piano, Gaga performed a demo/piano version of "1000 Doves" with slightly different lyrics followed by the studio version.
Gaga proceeded with another first ever performance of "Fun Tonight,” ending the segment with a studio version of the song.

SHOW
Lady Gaga wrapped up her first date for The Chromatica Ball Summer Stadium Tour. Gaga surprised fans in Dßsseldorf, Germany with an enigmatic performance.  
Lady Gaga opened the show with an interlude shot by Nick Knight displaying mysterious images that took on the forms of various different shapes.  Then shadow figures of Gaga appear as she poses along to the music in the interlude. Finally, we see Lady Gaga with her face covered in spikes as she opened the show with Bad Romance inside a vessel.
 
Lady Gaga eventually broke out of the vessel to perform her other signature hits Just Dance and Poker Face. Gaga was high energy during the choreography and the energy in the stadium was high.

Act I begins with another interlude featuring Lady Gaga strapped to a surface looking at the camera wearing while wearing leather adornments.  The interlude then cut to Gaga with hair reminiscent of the Poker Face era with wires coming out of her head. After the ending of the interlude, Gaga performed Alice.  While wearing a red-fleshy garment Gaga sang the Chromatica opening track while resting against a ledge.  She then sang Replay as the stage flooded with a green light.  This was the first time that both tracks have been performed live and Gaga delivered fans everything they could have wanted.  She then sang Monster which she hasn't sung live since 2014.

Act II begins with a garden interlude started playing on the massive stadium screens depicting white flowers and a white shadow moving about the screen.  We then hear the eeriness of Chromatica II play as it transitions seamlessly into 911.  Gaga sported a black latex outfit for the musical number.  Gaga surprised fans with a transition from 911 into her BLACKPINK collaboration, Sour Candy, which was extended and Gaga sang both her and some of BLACKPINK's parts of the song. Sour candy was another live debut at tonight's show.  Gaga then sang Telephone and LoveGame.
Act III began with an interlude starting to play, which depicted what appeared to be a moon, and Gaga appearing from under the light. Glimpses of sculptures appear on the screen before we hear Chromatica III in a twist transition into the live debut of Babylon, the closing track from Chromatica. Gaga then adorned a golden choir outfit and began to move to the B-stage as she sang the live debut of Free Woman.
Gaga debuted her piano for The Chromatica Ball during her performance of Born This Way, which resembled that of the roots of a tree. The performance started off acoustic on the piano and then went full instrumental. 
Act IV Lady Gaga appeared in another interlude dawning a floral printed gown embellished with flowers and a floral headpiece. As the interlude ended Gaga appeared on the B-stage with her iconic Chromatica headpiece and a sleeveless black latex outfit as she sang Shallow.  She then sang Always Remember Us This Way.  Gaga finished off on the piano with The Edge Of Glory acoustic version and surprised fans with the live debut of Enigma. 
Act V begins with a monologue from Gaga. Gaga finished off strong by singing two singles from Chromatica, the lead single Stupid Love, and her collaboration with Ariana Grande, Rain On Me.

The stadium went black for several until she returned with a monster claw to perform her theme song, Hold My Hand, for the critically acclaimed, box office smash, Top Gun: Maverick. 
Gaga then came back on stage twice before finally giving the little monsters one last "paws up." 
 
MERCHANDISE
A total of four merchandise booths were available at the venue. Two are located outside the venue, and two are located inside. The merchandise included new and old photos of Lady Gaga during the Chromatica photoshoot sessions. What is unknown is the Babylon merch image in which we see Lady Gaga dawning a blonde bob and posing in what appears to be a Babylon-related visual.

VIP package gift set includes the following limited edition items:
Tribe pin set
VIP lanyard
Clear Chromatica bag
Chromatica logo towel
LED light-up bracelet

In the interview, Lady Gaga shared details about her vision for the brand, and the secret behind the new skin-care formula infused in all the new products.
She also talked about her dream for a hypothetical movie remake:
“I think, in my dreams, I would have loved to have remade The Wizard of Oz and played Dorothy, It’s one of my favorites and I love Judy Garland, but I don’t know that I could ever, every write a song better than ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow. I love making music for movies, and I’m really interested in scoring movies in the future.”
Vanity Fair also asked her about the possibility of hosting the Oscars one day:
"I absolutely would consider hosting the Oscars,” she says with measurable gravitas. “It’s a really wonderful thing to be able to make the public smile, and over a hundred million people watch the Oscars,” she reports. “It’s really a privilege to be a performer and to be an inventor in pop culture."

PAPER interviewed Lady Gaga about the new formula used for Haus Labs by Lady Gaga's new products released today by Sephora.
You can read an excerpt of the interview below.
When I started this company, I always wanted to empower people through makeup and give people that experience of feeling uplifted by makeup and artistry. But I was very much more of an expert in my own artistry, like my stage makeup or my red carpet makeup, and I was less knowledgeable about the beauty industry. So, I spent a lot of time really being a student of the beauty industry, researching product development, and learning what's truly of value to a customer. What I realized is that we just hadn't taken this brand far enough. I didn't make something that I felt was groundbreaking. I didn't make something that I thought really mattered yet. And then it started to crystallize for me that I wanted us to push the boundaries of the beauty industry and the landscape of beauty by pushing what it means to be clean and what it means to be good for your skin. So we now are supercharged clean artistry. We put supercharged skincare ingredients into our makeup, we are cleaner than clean, and we removed over 2,600 ingredients from all of our products.
On top of that, we have a huge assortment of amazing colors that are extremely high pigment, and we have a Pantone library system of sustainable packaging. So it's easy for you to find your shade. You're never gonna get home from Sephora and go, "Uh-oh, I got the wrong shade," because you’ll be able to see the color on the package. And to me, this is what people deserve. Not "How can I get makeup that Lady Gaga wears on TV or that she wears in movies or onstage?" You know, I've been putting dirty makeup on my face for a really long time and I’ve been wrecking my skin, and I wanted to make something truly innovative. And Marie, everybody told me I couldn't do it. They told me you cannot innovate in the beauty industry. You can't make color that is clean in that bright of pigment. They told me that I couldn't put proprietary ingredients into products and we infused both of these products — the Bio-Radiant Gel-Powder Highlighter and our Power Sculpt Velvet Bronzer. These are both infused with a patent pending, proprietary, fermented arnica that we made in a lab in Korea that was then sent over to Europe. This is a true innovation.

Allure interviewed Lady Gaga about Haus Labs' new phase and reviewed their upcoming products.
 
As the new makeup line by Lady Gaga arrives at Sephora today, the artist and interpreter discussed the process behind her company's rebrand and revealed that she's been using her new products in secret for the latest months.
"We definitely didn't want anyone to see our new products and know what we were up to. I wore Haus Labs to the SAG Awards, [for] that white eye I had with my Armani Prive white dress. And at the Critics Choice Awards, I wore a Gucci dress and yellow paint on my eyes, and we smoked it out with some eye shadow as well. [...] I did not want it to be about me, or my stage makeup or my red carpet makeup necessarily, even though I have worn these products on stage and red carpets, I wanted this makeup to be unlike any other makeup that's out there and makeup for everyone. So this is supercharged makeup with supercharged ingredients. It's infused with skin care."
Lady Gaga then discussed the new incredible skin-care formula infused in all the new products:
"When I started this company people told me you'll never be able to get arnica in anything, maybe in skin care, but never in a product. They told me it was impossible to innovate. But that's not true — you can, you just have to be relentless [...] So it's treating my skin, but it's also a very high-performance artistry product. There's none of that bunchiness you can sometimes get when you use contour. We also don’t do those patchy highlighters. To me, I always want to make sure that people understand that we do not sacrifice performance, but we also don’t sacrifice your values."

Harper's Bazaar interviewed Lady Gaga to discuss the new collaboration between her beauty company Haus Labs by Lady Gaga and Sephora.
Lady Gaga spoke about her willigness to learn as a new makeup producer:
"I'd say the first thing I've absolutely learned as a beauty founder and creator was that I had a lot to learn. When I first began this company, I had a sense of my own artistry and love of artistry, but my knowledge of the beauty industry was much more limited. It took me a couple of years to really hone in on what I wanted this company to be. From the beginning, I always wanted to create a brand that was about empowering people to their makeup and helping people feel uplifted by makeup, but now I'm looking to take it a step further."
Then she discussed the new skin-care formula infused in all their new products:
"We have now put super-charged ingredients into our makeup, so it's infused with skin care. And we use futuristic clean formulas that go beyond industry standards, with a huge color assortment. These are artistry products without compromising performance and value. Both our Power Sculpt Velvet Bronzer and Bio-Radiant Gel-Powder Highlighter are infused with our proprietary complex of fermented arnica, which is 860 percent more potent than conventional arnica."
She concluded by sharing one secret behind her iconic red-carpet looks:
"I would definitely say that on red carpets I always wear our The Edge Precision Brow Pencil. It's my favorite brow pencil because you can get that perfect edge across the bottom, which gives you that sharp look with your brows while making those feather-like strokes," she says. And she reveals another trick that helps give her that bright-eyed look: "Something else I always do on the red carpet is wear white liner in my waterline—it's a trick to make the eyes look bigger, and one of the inspirations behind why we wanted this [version of Haus Labs] to be so clean. Our Optic Intensity Eco Gel Eyeliner Pencil has Argan oil and vitamin E as well, so it's safe for my waterline."
