Lady Gaga Takes Over Times Square for New Year's Performance [Video]

Lady Gaga shared a special moment with her hometown while welcoming 2012 in New York City’s Times Square. Emerging from a glittery black blob, the eccentric superstar performed a medley of her Born This Way tracks including “Heavy Metal Lover,” “Marry the Night,” and “Born This Way” during “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.”

“To say that I love this city is an understatement. This is my hometown and my dream,” said an overjoyed Gaga while overlooking the thousands of revelers.

After changing into a white gown, a masked Gaga helped Mayor Bloomberg count down to the ball drop, dancing into the new year to Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York.”
