Did you catch the Lady Gaga concert that took place on May 17?

The singer and actress performed a special private concert for Apple employees on Friday to help formally open the campus as well as pay tribute to Steve Jobs, according MacRumors. The concert took place on a Jony Ive-designed stage, decked with a rainbow arch, inside of Apple Park’s ring.

“What I would love is for it to be like surgically implanted into my hand,” Gaga said.
Oh, and she wants an emoji that means “be kind”:
Jokes! Gaga’s got ’em.
