The 85-year-old former speaker of the House of Representatives was seen taking a seat near the front or "the pit."

The House is currently on its five-week summer recess — a break Little Monster Pelosi appears to be enjoying.

The former speaker responded on X: "It was a fabulous show in San Francisco! The most fun I’ve had in a long time."

Gaga is currently on her Mayhem Ball tour, which she kicked off in April at Coachella. In late April, Mother Monster announced seven California show dates for the Mayhem Ball, following frenzied demand. For the Bay Area, Lady Gaga headlined San Francisco's Chase Center on July 22, 24 and 26. Across the state, she will play the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on July 29, Aug. 1 and 2.

Lady Gaga's upcoming North American arena tour followed her electrifying Coachella 2025 performances, where she transformed the desert into a gothic opera house. During her headlining sets, Gaga unveiled a theatrical spectacle titled "Mayhem in the Desert," weaving a narrative through songs from her latest album, Mayhem, alongside fan favorites like "Poker Face" and "Born This Way".

The performance was divided into four acts, featuring elaborate staging, intricate choreography, and dramatic costume changes. Highlights included a towering red Baroque-inspired gown that opened to reveal a steel cage of dancers, a chess-themed dance battle during "Poker Face," and a surprise appearance by French producer Gesaffelstein for their joint track "Killah."

Throughout the operatic performance, Gaga appeared to symbolically kill off past versions of herself or her past personas. It remains to be seen whether Gaga will reconstruct the opera house or take any cues from her Coachella performances for her arena tour.

During her Weekend 1 performance, Gaga told the crowd that she was filming the performance for a future release, so fans will eventually have a chance to experience the immersive display.
