Lady Gaga recently stopped her concert in Antwerp, Belgium, on Sunday night to help a fan who was reportedly in distress. The moment was captured on video by multiple concertgoers. It was quick to go viral across social media platforms. Netizens reacted to the viral moment, saying:

"everybody wants to be like Taylor now…"

The viral incident happened midway through Lady Gaga's performance at Antwerp's Sportpaleis arena. She noticed a commotion in the front rows when she was singing The Edge of Glory. Instead of continuing the set, Gaga halted the music and called for attention. Lady Gaga was heard saying:

"Is everyone okay? Just one second. Just wait one second, everyone. If everyone could just wait patiently just so that we can make sure that they're okay. Water.... We are so happy to be here with you... let's get her backstage and take care of her backstage. If everyone could just stay quiet for a moment, please. Thank you. I hope you feel better."
