Ever the professional, Gaga didn't flinch as she clocked her mic wasn't working correctly.
Continuing to sing despite the broken mic, Gaga could be seen doing full choreography as she danced to her next song Abracadabra before being handed a mic.
The hand mic wasn't the greatest, but she carried on dancing to Abracadabra and Judas, without breaking focus once.
Gaga then went off stage as planned before coming back for her song Scheiße with a new headset mic.
Despite being given a new headset microphone, it was still sketchy with the audio sounding off, and Gaga was even forced to hold it to her mouth.
The hitmaker then went off stage as planned and came back with a new mic for her hit Garden Of Eden.
As she crooned the hit from Mayhem, Gaga could be heard perfectly with her new microphone working seamlessly.
Gaga handled the malfunction like a pro and never missed a step.
“We missed you Coachella. You look so beautiful tonight," she said after the mishap.
"We are so excited to bring you Mayhem. Mayhem in the dessert," she added.
Continuing her set, Gaga went on to sing some of her older hits like Bad Romance and Paparazzi.
After crooning Paparazzi, Gaga spoke again to the adoring crowds in front of her.
“We hope you have the time of your life tonight. And even if you don't I will sure try," she said.
She then carried on her set before making a reference to the mishap later on in the show.
