Gearing up for her much anticipated return to the stage, Lady Gaga headed over to the Barclays Center in New York City on Sunday (August 25).

Elegant in a bell sleeved white dress, the “Bad Romance” songstress carried a bouquet of flowers and blew kisses to waiting fans as she passed by.

It has been a busy time for the 27-year old New York native as she puts the finishing touches on her upcoming album ARTPOP and prepares for Sunday night’s opening performance at the Video Music Awards.

Gaga fans can check out the show live beginning tonight (August 25) at 9/8 central on MTV.
