    Lady Gaga on Crutches: In her multi-faceted perfor Lady Gaga on Crutches:
In her multi-faceted performances, a collage of opera, rock concert, spin class, fashion and photo shoot, Lady Gaga pushes boundaries and forces audiences to think differently. She is also famously active and supportive of marginalized groups such as the LGBTQ community. In her recent appearances at Coachella Festival, California and Copacabana Beach, Brazil, while singing, ‘Paparazzi’, the singer ambulates across the stage utilizing shinny metal crutches before forcefully throwing them away. The singer’s recent medical issues with her legs and how she struggled to overcome adversity may well have inspired this ‘Gladiator-like’ costume choice. But seeing Lady Gaga normalizing mobility aides in front of an audience of two million was bold and refreshing, making crutches seem almost sexy. I’ve always been impressed with Gaga’s music and advocacy and it felt to me like she was embracing the disabled community and normalizing the use of mobility aides while subtly encouraging all of us to, “be and believe in yourself”.
