The Heart (Interlude) []

The show is mainly divided into four parts with the last part being the encore. The main show begins with a video introduction called "The HeART" where Gaga appears as alter-ego Candy Warhol. She shows the image of a pink heart on her t-shirt. The video is shown in projection on a giant screen in front of the stage. As the video approaches towards the end, a countdown from ten to zero happens, Gaga's face is shown wearing the video sunglass, and flames engulf the screen as it drops.

Have you ever loved something so much, you told a tiny little lie, a negative truth
And you believe and you love your new invention so deeply you would kill to make it true.
Your visualization, your futurization, your self-masturbation is all you have - so honor it.
Some say that Lady Gaga is a lie - and they are right. I am a lie and everyday I kill to make it true.
