Lady Gaga’s concerts in Paris were postponed because of nationwide strikes over a government plan to raise the retirement age, which happened in October. Of all the postponed shows, one show was rescheduled for Sunday, but sadly, it was called off due to snow.

The weather led French authorities to ban big trucks from driving through the Ile de France region including the city of Paris and, Gaga’s trucks couldn’t get to the venue on time.

For now, a concert Monday is expected to be held as planned, and the canceled show is likely to be rescheduled for Tuesday.

Mother Monster, Gaga tweeted today, “All 28 of my trucks for the Monsterball were detained by the French government going on over 26 hrs, 2 of my employees were arrested trying. to get into Paris so we could perform. I am furious and devastated, its unfair to my fans and to me. to get into Paris so we could perform. I am furious and devastated, its unfair to my fans and to me.

Today’s cancelled Paris show is rescheduled for Tuesday, 2moro’s show will happen as planned. I promise to give u the nights of ure life. X”

So, all 28 of the trucks carrying sets for her show had been detained. Even though she had wanted to do a show without the sets, sound and power equipment was blocked anyway.
