- I'm not in this for
my apartment.
- Yeah.
- You know?
The apartment is beautiful and I love being there
and it's wonderful,
but what I'm in this for
is the connection that I share with my fans
and how I can be a servant to culture.
How can I serve the art world?
How can I serve the fashion designers?
How can I serve the actors?
How can I be of service to them
so that they can perform
and dream and live their lives
in the way that I do?
That's all that I want to be.
- So, you wanna - you stay in here,
and I'll knock on the door, and we do it that way.
- [Lady Gaga] You guys are gonna change this from, like,
a documentary about my artistry to 'Cribs,' right?
And not tell me?
(Laughs)
- [Sway] I didn't even think about that.
This does feel like 'Cribs,' right?
I didn't even think of that.
(knock on door)
- Hello.
- Hey.
- How are you?
- Gaga.
What's up?
- Nice to see you.
- Good to see you, too.
So I made it to the home.
- You did, the rental.
- This is the rental.
Can you show me around?
- [Lady Gaga] Yes, I will.
- This is amazing.
Educate me, you know.
- Well, Liza Minnelli used to live here.
- Oh, that's crazy.
- And Tony Bennett used to live here.
Would you like some tea?
- Yeah, I have to.
I am not gonna pass up tea at your home.
- These are from Donatella [Versace].
- What flavor - this is from Donatella?
- The tea set.
She gave me the coffee table and the couch and
the side table with all these flowers.
And then there was a
big ring on the hand there.
And she's just so, like -
- [Sway] That's amazing.
- She's such a whimsical, like, lovely woman.
- [Producer] Should we mic her now, or -
- [Camera Operator] Yeah, we can mic her
whenever you're ready.
- This is a painting that Tony did for me.
- [Sway] Really, Tony Bennett?
- He painted this for me for my birthday.
It's Charlie Parker.
- Charlie Parker, the legend.
You're a big jazz fan, right?
- [Lady Gaga] Yeah.
- And this is - what room is this?
- Well, I just keep a lot of my clothes in here,
and accessories.
Yeah, it's amazing to see all of
the [Alexander] McQueen influences also in the younger designers
and how they're so inspired by the drama.
And, like, I was saying, that little twisted,
dark things in life -
- Yeah.
- Bringing things that other people
don't think are beautiful,
and making them beautiful,
that's what makes me want to write music.
- [Producer] So, if I could just get a shot of the two
of you - Sway, just say,
like, "Should we head out to Roseland [Ballroom] now?"
Just so we have.
- [Sway] OK.
- [Producer] And then we'll get the greetings
in the front.
- OK, great.
So, you ready to head out to Roseland?
- Yes.
- Let's do it.
- I am, I'm ready.
Let's go.
- Thank you for inviting me into your home.
- [Lady Gaga] You're very, very welcome.
- [Sway] I feel like an explosion is about to happen.
- [Lady Gaga] It might, who knows.
- All right.
OK, here it comes.
OK, I'll get the car for you.
(crowd cheering)
- Hi, guys.
How are you?
Nice to see you.
OK, bye.
(crowd yells)
- [Sway] That was nice.
- Thank you.
Have a lovely day.
- [Sway] OK, after you.
- Thanks, Sway.
- [Sway] Absolutely.
- [Producer] You sit next to me, all right, great.
- I think he can.
- See you at 'Artpop' tonight.
- You're definitely stirring up the world.
I like what you're doing.
I like why you're doing it.
So, I knew you back before it all happened,
and it was just that dream
you were dreaming.
So, to see it come to fruition is really great.
Being a native New Yorker, too, performing at Roseland,
what does that feel like for you?
- It's just a huge dream come true
to be asked to close the venue out.
It's saying its goodbye.
It's a tall order.
If you come from this town and you've played every,
I've played every single venue in New York.
I mean, venues that hold 15 people, that hold 30.
You know, I've played at Rockwood Music Hall, you know,
all the way down south of Houston,
I've played The Bitter End.
I've played The Cutting Room.
That's where I was discovered.
I played The Knitting Factory, Arlene's Grocery,
The Mercury Lounge.
I mean, you name it,
I've done something there.
You know, Roseland, I had never played Roseland,
and they asked me,
they said, "How come you never played here?"
I said, well,
because I never would have been able to fill it.
I mean, it fits 3,500 people.
And I went from playing for 300 people to playing for,
you know, a thousand people,
to playing in theaters and in arenas.
So, it's, like, I kind of skipped over that size.
- Yeah, you're the last performer
to ever hit that Roseland stage.
Someone is gonna see this performance
and talk about it years from now and say,
"I remember the first and the last performance,
and/or the last performance I saw at Roseland.
And it was Lady Gaga."
- 'Cause they're saying goodbye to, you know,
a place that a lot of people have spent late, late nights,
experiencing music and love and New York together.
It's really sad.
- [Sway] Yeah.
- [Lady Gaga] And I was really happy to come back,
and it's a wonderful experience.
We turned the whole place into a bar
and it shows, like, being in a bar in New York.
- [Sway] I can't wait to see it.
- Should we get out?
- [Sway] Yeah, let's get out.
- Let's get out this way so we can say "Hi" to them.
- OK.
- [Person In Crowd] Hi, Sway.
- What's up?
- Hello.
(crowd yells)
I love you. I have to go inside.
- [Sway] That was amazing.
That was amazing.
- OK.
I'm just walking around.
You can follow me. - OK, great.
Can you say what you're gonna do real quick to the camera?
- I'm just looking at -
they're setting up the cameras for [David] Letterman.
- OK.
- They're gonna come film here tonight.
- Really?
- Yeah, so they're gonna film two songs.
"Dope" and "G.U.Y." for tonight.
- OK.
- Which will be great.
- That's what's up.
- I'm really hands-on with everything.
So, I like to make sure that it's organized.
I mean, Bobby [Campbell] does all of that, too,
but just for good, creative flow.
- [Sway] Now, will you be able to show me the stage at all?
From the stage?
- [Lady Gaga] Yeah.
- [Sway] OK.
- Yeah, I'm gonna put on some, like, rehearsal clothes.
Here we are.
- Wow.
You keep the keyboard in the room, right?
- Oh, yeah.
Just so I can practice and warm up my vocals.
- So, this is the glam room right here.
- Yeah, this is where I get ready.
It's where all the masks and hair pieces are.
- [Sway] I'm surprised, looking around your room,
like, I would think the Lady Gaga rider
might be just so much more immaculate.
You have cold cuts.
- [Lady Gaga] It's just, when I'm in New York,
I have to have deli, like, the whole time. I'm just, like -
- That's such a New Yorker thing, right?
- I know.
- So, we're going to rehearsal, yeah?
All right, cool.
- So, can you guys move up?
Tim [Stewart], can you move up, like, here?
- [Tim] OK, yeah, definitely.
- And Kern [Brantley], are you playing keys?
Are you playing on that the whole time?
OK.
- [Sway] So, what happens now?
You guys about to rehearse?
- [Lady Gaga] Yeah, we're gonna rehearse now.
You can film that, too.
- [Sway] We can film that?
OK.
♪ For so long. ♪
(dancers applaud)
- [Producer] Just head on up and say, "Bye."
- [Sway] OK.
You know, I know you're busy,
but I want to say, thank you very much.
- Thank you.
- OK.
Have a good show tonight.
- Thank you.
- And I'm looking forward to that 'ArtRave,'
OK?
- Thank you.
- All right.
- I can't wait.
- We'll see you there.
- I'm glad you're doing well.
- Thank you, we love you.
- Aw, thank you.
You see that?
- Bye.
- You guys, rock out.
All right.
- Come around.
Come hither, men.
- [Sway] That's it? OK.
