Lady Gaga kept a low profile as she strolled through Paris ahead of the final European date of the Mayhem Ball – after revealing she had a ‘psychotic break’.
The singer, 39, is currently in the French capital ahead of her final gig at the Accor Arena on Saturday – which is the last stop on the European leg of her tour before she flies to Australia.
Gaga looked effortlessly chic as she stepped out in the city on Friday for a day out, wearing an oversized black sweatshirt.
She paired the look with a black mini-skirt, UGG mules and sheer knee-high socks, accessorising with sunglasses and a black bandana.
The star was seen carrying her iPad and a takeaway coffee as she made her way into a taxi.
It comes after Gaga revealed the dark reality behind her Oscar-winning turn in A Star Is Born, admitting she was medicated throughout filming and spiralled into a ‘psychotic break’ soon after.

The 2018 blockbuster — co-starring Bradley Cooper — catapulted Gaga into movie superstardom, earning rave reviews, eight Oscar nominations, and a Best Original Song win for her and Cooper’s smash hit Shallow.
But behind the scenes, Gaga said she was falling apart.
A week after nabbing seven Grammy nominations for her new album Mayhem, the singer opened up to Rolling Stone for its December issue, admitting her ‘psyche was unravelling’ while shooting the film.
‘I did A Star Is Born on lithium,’ she frankly admitted.
The drug, commonly prescribed for bipolar disorder, is ‘used to treat mania that is part of manic-depressive illness’ and helps stabilise severe mood swings, ranging from “an excited or manic state” to depression or sadness,’ according to the Mayo Clinic.
Daily Mail has not received a response to its request for comment from reps for Cooper.
Soon after the cameras stopped rolling — and while she was on her Joanne tour — Gaga suffered what she described as a ‘psychotic break.’
‘There was one day that my sister said to me, “I don’t see my sister anymore,”‘ she recalled.

‘And I cancelled the tour. There was one day I went to the hospital for psychiatric care. I needed to take a break. I couldn’t do anything … I completely crashed.
‘It was really scary. There was a time where I didn’t think I could get better.… I feel really lucky to be alive. I know that might sound dramatic, but we know how this can go.’
Now, Gaga says she’s finally found peace — and love.
The singer credits much of her recovery to her fiancé, Harvard-educated entrepreneur Michael, who was first linked to her around New Year’s Eve 2019, went Instagram official in early 2020, and popped the question in April 2024.
‘Being in love with someone that cares about the real me made a very big difference,’ she told Rolling Stone.
But that self-discovery took work.
‘How do you learn how to be yourself with someone when you don’t know how to be yourself with anyone?’ she reflected.
After years of struggle, Gaga now considers herself ‘a healthy, whole person.’
And in March, she released Mayhem — hailed as one of the greatest albums of her career.
‘It was months and months and months of rediscovering everything that I’d lost,” she explained.
‘And I honestly think that’s why it’s called Mayhem. Because what it took to get it back was crazy.’
