<p id=”par-4_23″>The <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/did-cyndi-lauper-ever-have-a-number-one-hit.html/”>“Girls Just Want to Have Fun” singer</a> went on to invoke her tough NYC upbringing to show that she wouldn’t be intimidated.</p>
<p id=”par-5_35″>“If you’re trying to shade me bitch, I’m going to come for you,” she said. “I’m from Brooklyn, and if I want to f*cking talk, I will do a tap dance if I f*cking want.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_9″>After speaking out, Lauper continued her performance without incident.</p>
<p id=”par-7_31″>The April 24 performance marked a major milestone in Lauper’s storied career. She’ll perform multiple times through May 2 in her first Vegas residency, which has appropriately been dubbed “Cyn City.” </p>
<p id=”par-8_36″>Last October, <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/DPoxWXaEfGR/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Lauper announced</a> that she’d decided to bring her Girls Just Wanna Have Fun show to Vegas for a “special run, an opportunity for fans who missed my Farewell Tour to celebrate one last time.”</p>

<p id=”par-9_21″>On stage on Friday, the recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee explained why she wanted to come to Vegas.</p>
<p id=”par-10_31″>“I just want to tell you why I came,” she said (via <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/DXikdPkCnZ8/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Instagram</a>). “I heard there was an art community here. And I wanted to come and do art and music.”</p>
<p id=”par-11_12″>She also touted backing band, which was entirely made up of women. </p>
<p id=”par-12_22″>“Finally, after 50 freaking years … I have an all-female band,” she said, to audience cheers. “And they’re ass-kickers, OK?” she said. </p>
<p id=”par-13_30″>Lauper’s Vegas performances could be the last chance fans have to see her in action. She previously hinted her “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” tour might be her last. </p>
<p id=”par-14_63″>“I just want to thank everybody, say goodbye, celebrate with fans that have been so loyal and sweet and were there for every crazy-ass concert or thing that I did and I’m excited about doing it,” she told <a href=”https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/music/2024/06/03/cyndi-lauper-farewell-tour-let-the-canary-sing-documentary/73887709007/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>USA Today</a> in 2024. “I don’t think physically in another five years I will be as good, but now I can do it, you know?”</p>
