Mother G.O.A.T.'s stories
Operation: Kill The Bitch
Operation: Kill The Bitch is the second interlude on The Born This Way Ball Tour. It is performed after at the end of "Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)" the sound of machine guns firing can be heard as Gaga escape behind the scenes. This is followed by a repeating beeping sound (sonar like) while moving spotlights are searching across the castle for Gaga. The interlude ends with a pre-recorded dialogue from the main antagonist and narrator of the story, "Mother G.O.A.T." :
- “Initiating satellite. Space renegade Lady Gaga has escaped. Downloading image of prisoner. Alien fugitive objective: To birth a new race. Operation: Kill the bitch!.”
At the starts of her speech, "Mother G.O.A.T." is a giant diamond shaped structure with pink neon lights on the edge of it. "Mother G.O.A.T." also has a skull projection in the middle as her "face". At the line "Downloading image of prisoner", the skull merges into Gaga's face with prosthetic horns. Her voice has a strong French accent and she speaks in a very slowly manner. She ends the interlude by taking a very low tone to say "Kill the bitch!". On the first dates, Gaga was seen walking on the 2nd levels of the castle, hiding from the spotlights. But after Gaga fell twice during the act (including on the opening night), it was discontinued.
Manifesto of Mother G.O.A.T. I
- “This is the Manifesto of Mother Monster: On G.O.A.T, a Government Owned Alien Territory in space, a birth of magnificent and magical proportions took place. But the birth was not finite; it was infinite. As the wombs numbered, and the mitosis of the future began, it was perceived that this infamous moment in life is not temporal; it is eternal. And thus began the beginning of the new race: a race within the race of humanity.”
Manifesto of Mother G.O.A.T. II
- “It was instantly that this enigmatic fugitive became the (host agent and body) to a new colony. A colony which would strive to extract our most classified information. A monstrous preparation it was. Training and decoding the creativity of rebellion for one purpose: to invade Earth.”
"Paparazzi"
At the beginning of the song, Mother G.O.A.T. is seen flying around the castle while lipsyncing the first verse and chorus to "Paparazzi". Only 1 minute into the song, the castle opens and Lady Gaga arrives in a new outfit with an Assault Rifle on both hands. At the end of the song, Gaga shoots her gun and kills Mother G.O.A.T. Right after the shot, the color of neon lights of Mother G.O.A.T.'s diamond shaped structure changes from pink / violet to red, she blinks, blood starts to flow from her eyes and nostrils, she rolls her eyes and her pupils turn completely white.
- Note
- In later shows, due to so much controversy surrounding Lady Gaga's use of guns in the show, her Assault Rifle was replaced with the Disco Scepter that was initially used for "LoveGame" as a sorceress stick. Lady Gaga instead aims the scepter at Mother G.O.A.T as a reference to camera lights (similar concept to the Assault Rifle and the Fire Bra and Underwear). It also a reference to the murder of the Fame Monster during the Arena Version of The Monster Ball Tour, where, while performing "Paparazzi", Lady Gaga asked the audience to use their camera lights in order to help her to kill the Fame Monster as she did it using her Pyro-Bra and Pyro-Underwear.
