GaGa supports SB 1070 at gig

Lady Gaga ignored fans who urged her to boycott the July 31 concert in Phoenix, Arizona.

About 14,000 of her fans turned up at her gig and they screamed when the singer made a powerful statement about the state's controversial law, the SB 1070 bill. 

Revealing that the crowd made her brave to ignore those who want her to cancel the concert, GaGa asked the audience to dispel of their insecurities including "the law". Many artists have already expressed their opposition against the immigration law which they believe is discriminative. 

The pop icon exclaimed, "I got a call from some big rappers and big rockers. They said, 'We'd like you to boycott Arizona because of SB 1070'. I told them, 'Do you really think that us ...pop stars are going to shut down the state?'" 

GaGa spread the message, "We have to be active. We have to actively protest. I will not cancel my show. I will hold you, and we will hold each other, and we will protest this state."
