The "Bad Romance" singer was playing a show at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida on Saturday night, when suddenly, extreme weather conditions forced her to stop her performance more than half-way through.

Gaga decided to take the stage and deliver the bad news herself, saying, “I’m sorry that we can’t finish, but I don’t want to put your life in danger and I don’t want to put our life in danger.

Before going home, the fans took things into their own hands and put on an epic performance of singing "Rain On Me", in the rain.

After canceling the show with six songs remaining on the setlist, Lady Gaga shared an extremely emotional and vulnerable video to her Instagram.

The 36-year-old artist admitted to having made the “responsible” decision to stop the show, even though she is a “hardcore bad bitch."

She could be seen fighting back tears in the video as she added, “I don’t know what I would do if anything happened to anybody in the audience or to any member of my crew, my band, my dancers. So I’m sorry that we didn’t get to do the epic performance of ‘Rain On Me’ in the rain but what’s more worth it to me is life.”

The "Rain On Me" singer also shared a photo of her holding the flowers, with a caption similar to what she expressed in the video:

I’m sorry i couldn’t finish the show it was too dangerous the lightening was being unpredictable and changing moment by moment, I love you. Look, for years some of you have called me “mother monster,” in my heart I knew it was better to keep you safe. Thank you for believing in me. This was the greatest tour of my life and I will cherish this moment forever—it took a long time for me to heal, but I did. Sure, OF COURSE, I wanted to sing rain on me for you in the rain. “I’d rather be dry, but at least I’m alive”—I guess somehow I knew this moment would happen and I am so grateful to you, my dancers, my band the whole crew everyone my family and friends. Safety first. Love you. Thank you for the flowers and the cheers and for understanding. Life matters.
