Even the first time I met Lady Gaga when she came to MTV in 2008, she didn't even seem like a human. Since then, she's made meat a fashion statement, hatched herself out of an egg, created a monster army, invented the first half woman/ half motorcycle hybrid and NEVER. STOPPED. WORKING. So it's hard to imagine Lady Gaga doing something as "just-like-us" regular people as sitting in a seat. But until we can arrange for every celebrity at the VMAs to have their own private hut made of diamonds and equipped with a concierge and, like a private sushi chef (actually, I feel like Kanye could pull that off), VMA stars, like mere mortals, are gonna have to settle for seats. And here's Lady Gaga's.
Of course, she won't be sitting in her VMA seat when the show starts as she'll be opening the 2011 MTV VMAs with a performance that told MTV News will be inspired by the archetypes of psychology. (By the way, here's what else we know about Lady Gaga's VMA performance.) But when she's done performing, she'll be taking her VMA seat which will pretty much serve as a platform for her one-woman fashion show. And while I don't want to say that all VMA seats aren't created equally, if VMA history serves as any indicator, Lady Gaga's VMA seat is the best seat in the house.
