Just before 11 p.m. on Friday night, Lady Gaga completed a 21-song set for a sold-out crowd of almost 17,000 fans packed into Tampa's Amalie Arena.
Minutes afterwards, from inside her bacskstage dressing room, Ms. Joanne told her nearly 30 million Instagram followers how much she loved a mural completed by Tampa artist Cam Parker.
"Cam Parker, you are the shit," she said in a post to her Insta story. "Thank you so much for my incredible mural."

Just moments before, Parker — situated in the general admission, standing room floor level — handed Gaga a photo of the mural before she closed her set with "Million Reasons' from her Grammy-nominated 2017 LP.
"Did you paint this mural of me in your city?," Gaga asked as the entire arena looked on. "Will you sign it?"
Carter, 34, already had.
"A true artist right there," Gaga quipped. "That's one talented dude there."
In a previous story, Parker, a Gaga superfan, told CL that he hoped his art would inspire the pop star and style icon to stop by, "take a selfie with it, and send me a DM saying, ‘Hey what’s up CAM, let’s grab a PBR before I leave Tampa!"
“But mostly," he said. "I just want her to see it and feel love, and maybe make her cry a little bit.”
We don't think any Pabst was had, but a whole lot of love for Gaga — and Tampa — just got felt across the globe.
