Lady Gaga is so powerful, it can sometimes seem like she has supernatural powers. But it’s just her music that’s super, right?
A video taken by a concert goer at a recent performance has some questioning if the artist might have a special ability create force fields, as a thrown object is deflected from hitting her.
And it’s hard to argue with the video evidence.
\u201cCONFIRMED: Gaga has an invisible force field that protects her from dangerous objects as shown in the video\u201d— \ud835\udc00\ud835\udc0d\ud835\udc03\ud835\udc11\ud835\udc08\ud835\udc0d (@\ud835\udc00\ud835\udc0d\ud835\udc03\ud835\udc11\ud835\udc08\ud835\udc0d) 1658172526
Shared by Twitter user noah3020, the poster took the video at Gaga’s Chromatica Ball. In their video, another concert attendee throws what looks to be a book on stage at the singer.
As the book flies on stage, it abruptly comes to a stop, like it just hit a brick wall. It has to be seen to be believed.
The poster had to clarify that they did not edit the video.
\u201cthis is not edited btw i took the video and didn't even notice it until a few minutes ago\u201d— \ud835\udc00\ud835\udc0d\ud835\udc03\ud835\udc11\ud835\udc08\ud835\udc0d (@\ud835\udc00\ud835\udc0d\ud835\udc03\ud835\udc11\ud835\udc08\ud835\udc0d) 1658172526
And for those internet detectives at home, someone even slowed it down for you.

A lot of fans loved the idea that Gaga would be super powered and use it for something so petty. Because honestly, who wouldn’t?
As neat as it’d be, it’s unlikely that force fields would be kept so hidden and just used to protect pop starts from something like a piece of trash thrown on stage. So what’s going on here?
A few ideas were kicked around, including the idea of a high powered fan blowing air away from the stage, or maybe some plexiglass panels placed at the front of the stage.
Another popular theory is that it was scrim or mesh, used for effects on stage. The material would be near invisible while backlit and through a camera lens.
A slightly more mundane explanation, but one in the realm of possibility.
\u201c@noah3020 Typically, it's scrim. It's a theatrical mesh in front of the performers. It's used for special effects purposes. This "scrim" seems especially transparent when backlit. If someone threw something heavy enough, it'd probably break through. It's almost impossible to see at times.\u201d— \ud835\udc00\ud835\udc0d\ud835\udc03\ud835\udc11\ud835\udc08\ud835\udc0d (@\ud835\udc00\ud835\udc0d\ud835\udc03\ud835\udc11\ud835\udc08\ud835\udc0d) 1658172526
\u201cand it obviously is not a force field, it's a joke\u201d— \ud835\udc00\ud835\udc0d\ud835\udc03\ud835\udc11\ud835\udc08\ud835\udc0d (@\ud835\udc00\ud835\udc0d\ud835\udc03\ud835\udc11\ud835\udc08\ud835\udc0d) 1658172526
\u201c@rockinrocky95 @noah3020 or just a mesh screen thats thin so you cant see it because the lights and stuff :) thats also why the video is fuzzy\u201d— \ud835\udc00\ud835\udc0d\ud835\udc03\ud835\udc11\ud835\udc08\ud835\udc0d (@\ud835\udc00\ud835\udc0d\ud835\udc03\ud835\udc11\ud835\udc08\ud835\udc0d) 1658172526
\u201cOMG people are stupid sometimes. It's a plastic see thru shield that she uses because of Covid_19. There's thousands of people there. I wouldn't want them all breathing on me either. Someone could have covid & so that shield provides some protection.\u201d— Karen Warner BOMBERS (@Karen Warner BOMBERS) 1658995334
\u201cStop throwing things at people on stage, you complete morons.\u201d— Marianne (@Marianne) 1658590312
Twitter loves to speculate on Lady Gaga and her talents. This included earlier this year when she was rumored to play Harley Quinn in a musical sequel to Joker.
Which honestly sounds way more implausible than Gaga having psychic powers.
