 For the performance of " Paparazzi " , Gaga had collaborated with her Haus of Gaga creative partner Matthew " Matty Dada " Williams . She had a different vision for it in the beginning . Dada thought that Gaga should wear her hair braided , which Gaga had never done before . Dada 's explanation for the concept was the look of Rapunzel , the fairy @-@ tale character . He felt that " it 's something people deeply understand . And when you 're wearing sunglasses on a scaffolding piece with a giant alien dancing behind you , I promised [ to Gaga ] it 's not going to look like Rapunzel . ' "
