During the penultimate show of the years-long residency at Park MGM’s Dolby Live, the Grammy-winning superstar dedicated the evening to her boyfriend of over four years, Michael Polansky. Gaga, affectionately referred to Polansky as ‘my mister’ while making the dedication amid the concert.
She also gave a heartfelt shoutout to her longtime manager, Bobby Campbell, who recently got engaged to lawyer Robert García. The Jazz & Piano residency, which featured music from The Great American Songbook and the ‘Bad Romance’ singer’s catalogue, concluded on July 6 after 48 memorable shows.

According to Billboard, Gaga told the crowd she and her band will “do it again” in the future with a “brand-new show.” Last month, some fans speculated that Gaga and Polansky could be expecting their first child after photos of the A Star Is Born performer attending her sister Natali Germanotta’s wedding in Maine surfaced online.
However, Gaga was quick to shut down the rumours, sharing a close-up of her bleached eyebrows in a video on TikTok with a cheeky reference to Taylor Swift’s song “Down Bad,” writing in onscreen text, “Not pregnant — just down bad cryin at the gym.” She also used the moment to encourage fans to register to vote in the upcoming U.S. election.
Engagement rumours also surrounded Gaga and Polansky’s relationship earlier this year, after she was spotted with what appeared to be a large diamond ring on her left ring finger during an April outing. Upon the release of the “Rain on Me” musician’s latest HBO concert special, Gaga Chromatica Ball, in May, she opened up about plans to release new music during a Q&A at the film’s Los Angeles premiere.
“I am in the studio every single day. I have written so many songs, I’ve been producing so many songs, and it’s nothing like anything that I’ve ever made before,” Gaga said at the event, teasing ‘LG7’ at the end of the film. As her residency comes to a close, Gaga’s dedication to Polansky and her excitement about future projects reflect her continued passion for both her personal and professional life. Fans eagerly anticipate what she has in store next, whether it’s new music, another residency, or more heartfelt moments shared on stage.
