In reply to H2O.

"Born to Die" was released in Jan 2012, not really "3 years" ago. And there's a difference between what she's "playing" and "can play". When her US dates went on sale there was enough demand to fill even bigger arenas, but she underestimated herself. Not to mention her demand in Europa really increased since the (small venue) dates she did there at first, specially now that "Born to Die" is multiplatinum in Germany, France and pretty much everywhere ...

Not to mention, Gaga's touring power has been dropping like rocks since BTW ended while Lana's has been growing bigger and bigger. Lana already got the 2 biggest touring markets on her side now, and I wouldn't be really surprised if she snatches Asia from Gaga sometime soon.
