Lady Gaga made a rather grand entrance as she kicked off Good Morning America's summer concert series today in New York's Central Park.
The 25-year-old singer surprised thousands of fans, some of whom had been camping out to see her since 3am, by zip-lining through the air and onto the stage dressed in a typically flamboyant outfit.
She dangled from a harness wearing a quirky red and white costume that featured a headdress, cape-like jack and of course, sky-high black heels.
But it wasn't all smooth sailing - there was a technical glitch during her opening number, Bad Romance.

The track began and while her voice could be heard, the star herself was nowhere to be seen.
By the time she finally emerged and whizzed down to the stage on the wire, the song all but over.
Her choreograhper Laurieann Gibson explained later: 'What happened was Gaga wasn’t in her harness, but they cued the show. That’s live television!'
She told PopWrap: 'GMA is amazing, but I think they were a little overwhelmed because it was Gaga! So I had a bit of a spazz out.'
Once on stage, she peeled down to red fishnet stockings and a red leotard.
She thrilled her 'little monsters' with a string of her hits, including Born This Way, Judas and Edge of Glory from her latest album.

After changing into a black PVC spiked jacket, Gaga performed Bad Romance from her 2009 record.
Gaga's new release has gone down a treat with fans - Born This Way has sold nearly 800,000 copies and been on top of the Billboard music charts since it dropped on May 23.
Of course, she has gone into overdrive to promote it, making daily appearances in increasingly eccentric ensembles.
Despite her success, Gaga says she still feels like 'the perpetual underdog'.
Speaking in an interview this week with MTV, she recalled her rise to fame and the bumps on the way.

As a teenager Gaga moved out of her parents' house in a respectable area of Manhattan by the Lincoln Centre in favour of the grimy lower East Side.
'It was like I needed to f**k myself up a bit and lick the ground for a couple of years to understand New York City and understand a whole different side of the pavement,' she said.
The unorthodox star also admitted her father was furious when he came to watch one of her first live shows in NYC.

'I just remember my dad came and he got really, really upset and he didn't talk to me for weeks,' she said.
In the hour-long interview 'Lady Gaga: Inside the Outside' the Poker Face singer got emotional when talking about her family's struggle to make it in America.
'My dad was the first one to go to college,' she said, tears forming in her eyes. Gaga also confessed to being bullied at school.
'I am the perpetual underdog,' she said.
