It is one of most iconic New Year’s Eve traditions and last night Lady Gaga led a galaxy of stars performing in Times Square to celebrate the New Year.
The kooky singer put on a stellar show in front of the one million revellers gathered in New York to welcome in 2012.
Gaga was joined by the likes of Justin Bieber, Pitbull, LMFAO, Florence and The Machine and The Band Perry who all took to the stage throughout the evening.

As ever the Born This Way singer did not disappoint and neither did her outfits with Gaga enjoying several wardrobe changes throughout the evening.
And when the time came activate the ball drop she was on hand to help New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Looking glittery as the orb itself, the singer was invited by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to press the crystal button at 11.59pm that triggered the decent of the 2012 New Year’s Eve Ball – a dazzling sphere 12 feet in diameter that weighs 11,875 pounds.
More than one ton of confetti – some of it inscribed with wishes for the New Year written by people across the globe –descended on the revellers in New York, who enjoyed an unseasonably warm New Year's.

Dick Clark – who has hosted his New Year’s Eve special since the 1970s – is again being helped this year by his protege Ryan Seacrest for the 40th anniversary of the show. The ABC special has been expanded and now begins at 8pm, making the six-hour broadcast the longest ever.
Teen favourite Justin Bieber took to the stage alongside legendary guitar player Carlos Santana to perform the classic Beatles hit Let It Be.

After the celebrations were over Lady Gaga took to Twitter to talk about her experience.
She posted: 'I cant even quite describe what tonight felt like. Sort of poetic madness. A dream come true. Moments recalling a leather taking the subway.'
She added: 'My new years resolution: Never be afraid to be kicked in the teeth. Let the blood and the bruises define your legacy.'
Before the actual show Lady Gaga had treated those revellers who had arrived early to a rehearsal performance as she practiced her routine.
The shiny, bejeweled number was teamed with a pair of retro sunglasses and a side ponytail, with the 25-year-old singer appearing to recycle a look from earlier in December.

Wearing similar looks more than once is not typical of the kooky singer, who prides herself on putting on a show at all times for her 'little monster' fans.

As well as the brash outfit Gaga carried a padded Chanel handbag and stepped out in sky high gold Christian Louboutin heels.

Looking to the past? Lady Gaga appears to have taken inspiration from the 1980's for her New Year's Eve look as she left her Manhattan hotel
