TAICHUNG - A CITY in Taiwan declared on Sunday 'Lady Gaga Day' as the pop diva's first visit to the island sparked a frenzy among dedicated fans and local media.
Lady Gaga, sporting a black and white wig, red trousers and a red dress with leopard-print sleeves, was given a key to Taichung city by the mayor at a ceremony attended by hundreds of enthusiastic supporters.
'On behalf of Taichung, I now declare today 'Lady Gaga Day'...which also belongs to all of her fans,' mayor Jason Hu said.
Earlier in the day, hundreds of her fans - known as 'Little Monsters' - defied summer heat to parade on the street dressed in costumes and wigs.
One man wore a raw pig's head, the TVBS cable news network reported, in apparent homage to an outfit made of raw meat that Lady Gaga wore to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards.
'My father is a butcher. I try to link Lady Gaga's creativity with my family's business,' he said. -- AFP
