Did you hear? MTV banned Lady Gaga's new video, "Telephone." It features some girl-girl kissing and pixelated private parts. That makes sense. MTV's always led the pack when it comes to decency. Then, bang! The big music news today is that the Lady Gaga 2010 tour dates were announced.
That's correct. Right on the tail end of the Lady Gaga Telephone manufactured controversy – who really cares if MTV bans a music video? – the marketing geniuses over at Lady Gaga, Inc., have announced the dates for a 2010 Lady Gaga tour. I'm sure it will be stunning. She's going to change the world, one sequin at a time.
The 2010 Monster Ball Tour will be backed by Lady Gaga's wonderful dance troupe and will feature songs from The Fame Monster, her new album. You can buy tickets for Lady Gaga 2010 tour dates at her
website, or from various Craigslist scalpers.
