Nancy Pelosi has nothing but praise after seeing her favorite pop star perform. The California House Representative, 85, was in the audience for Lady Gaga’s Mayhem Ball concert in San Francisco Sunday night, and is now tweeting her thoughts about the show. Responding to celebrity news outlet Pop Crave, which shared a video of her in the audience, Pelosi tweeted, “It was a fabulous show in San Francisco! The most fun I’ve had in a long time.” In the video, Pelosi can be seen arriving at her floor seats before the concert, then dancing along as the singer, 39, performs. Pelosi later told the San Francisco Chronicle, “Lady Gaga is very beautiful, extraordinarily talented, and surprisingly humble! It was a fabulous show.” A fellow Little Monster who sat behind the congresswoman later shared a selfie with her on Instagram, writing that Pelosi attended with her husband, Paul Pelosi, and “danced the entire show.” The former Speaker of the House is a well-documented Gaga fan: in 2021, she visited Radio City Music Hall to see the singer’s joint concert with Tony Bennett. Pelosi’s son-in-law even described her as the “Lady Gaga of American Politics” to the New York Times.
