Lady Gaga is known for her shock factor, so it will probably come as no surprise that her South by Southwest performance was a little demented.

She began her SXSW appearance at Stubbs BBQ on Thursday night by roasting herself on a spit like a pig while her dancers basted her with barbecue sauce. Then the real weirdness began.

From there, as Fox News reports, Mother Monster had attractive women stand on stage, provocatively eating barbequed sausages. Then her friend Millie Brown took the stage to assist on her ARTPOP single "Swine." Brown, who does "vomit painting," drank a bottle of neon green liquid and forced herself to vomit all over Gaga as she played the drums.

And the craziness didn't end there. Covered in vomit, the two climbed on top a "mechanical pig" equipped with a ball gag and keyboard. Gaga straddled Brown and played the keyboard as the pig bucked them around in circles. Then Brown painted Gaga with a black liquid.

As previously reported, the idea behind the show was "Bold Missions," so part of the show was dedicated to Gaga giving inspiring speeches to her fans.

"It's so much easier to be yourself than it is to be somebody else," she told the crowd. "Because then you have to pretend to be someone else and like things that you don't like and do stuff that you don't want to do."

Today, Gaga give the SXSW keynote address. Watch a replay of the gig here and let us know what you thought of the performance below!
