She's a long way from home, and in the middle of a highly demanding tour.

Rihanna, Heidi Klum, Fergie, and Beyonce have also been seen wearing the long, curved, animalistic talons sharped to a point and painted bright colors.
Lady Gaga is now preparing for the final show of her Australian tour on Saturday night, having stormed through Auckland, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.

The song has outraged fans of the late Princess Diana, who believe the lyrics refer to her tragic death in 1997.
On a less controversial note, Gaga has expressed her excitement for the forthcoming No Doubt record.
She gushed on her Twitterpage: 'Is anyone else freaking out about No Doubt putting out a new album. I can't wait!'
