Lady Gaga<\/a> staged the opening night of her career-spanning Enigma Las Vegas residency Friday at Park MGM, with the singer delivering a pair of live debuts during the performance: A cover of David Bowie<\/a>\u2018s \u201cI\u2019m Afraid of Americans\u201d and Gaga\u2019s first live rendition of the A Star Is Born<\/em> hit \u201cShallow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Enigma<\/em> serves as a retrospective of sorts at Gaga\u2019s career thus far, and the shape-shifting Bowie was as a huge inspiration to the singer, from her \u201cPoker Face\u201d\/Aladdin Sane iconography to the 10-song Bowie medley<\/a> that Gaga performed for the Grammy\u2019s tribute to the late singer. The Enigma<\/em> show marked the first time Gaga tackled Bowie\u2019s paranoiac\u00a0Earthling<\/em> track onstage, with Gaga weaving the 1997 track into the Born This Way<\/em> portion of her Enigma<\/em> setlist.<\/p>\n

To close out Enigma<\/em>, Gaga performed a piano rendition of \u201cShallow\u201d that saw her tackling both roles \u2013 her own Ally\u2019s verses as well as those sung by Bradley Cooper\u2019s Jackson Maine in the film \u2013 of the duet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey thought I was shallow, but this shit is deep as fuck,\u201d Gaga quipped at the piano before the emotional performance:<\/p>\n
