Lady Gaga Weaves a Web at MTV Video Music Aid Japan [Video]

Lady Gaga spun a tangled web at MTV Video Music Aid Japan, a two-hour event benefitting the Japanese Red Cross. The eccentric star opened the show trapped in a giant spiderweb for her theatrical performance of “The Edge of Glory.” After breaking free, Mother Monster climbed the stairs to a custom spider-shaped piano and delivered her record-breaking hit “Born This Way.”

“I can’t say enough to people all over the world that the majority of Japan right now, Japan in general, is very safe,” Gaga told reporters during her visit to the earthquake-ravaged country. “It’s fine to come here. It’s beautiful.”
