<P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/lady_gaga/artist.jhtml">Lady Gaga</a> has proven her mental toughness time and again, but even she had to admit that the walloping she took on stage at a show in New Zealand on Sunday threw her for a loop.</P><P><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Emerging from hours of sleep. Still remiss if I should go outside, with this clonker I may be of questionable styling. <a href="http://t.co/mbD1uRfO" title="http://twitter.com/ladygaga/status/212388424269832193/photo/1">twitter.com/ladygaga/statu...</a></p>&mdash; Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) <a href="https://twitter.com/ladygaga/status/212388424269832193" data-datetime="2012-06-12T03:38:42+00:00">June 12, 2012</a></blockquote> <script src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></P><P>"Emerging from hours of sleep," she <a href="https://twitter.com/ladygaga/status/212388424269832193/photo/1" target="_blank">tweeted</a> on Monday, less than 24 hours after she was struck in the head with a pole while performing "Judas" during the third of three shows in New Zealand. The comment was accompanied by a photo of Gaga laying in bed looking disheveled, her hair a mess, with a large bruise on her left cheek and what appeared to be the beginnings of a shiner under her left eye. "Still remiss if I should go outside, with this clonker I may be of questionable styling," she added.</P><P>Earlier on Monday she <a href="https://twitter.com/ladygaga/status/212387543050764290" target="_blank">assured fans</a> that she was on the mend, tweeting, "Thank you so much for all the thoughtful messages. I feel a bit woozy but a little better everyday. Very happy to be in beautiful Australia."</P><P>Videos of the incident <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw9ob2mfUdk&feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">posted online</a> show a male backup dancer accidentally hitting Gaga in the head with a metal set piece while trying to take move it off the stage. Gaga, who bent down to pick up a prop machine gun during the performance of "Judas," staggered a bit and rubbed her head before briefly walking off the stage. But, a short time later, she was right back at it, performing 16 more songs before calling it a night.</P><P>Later in the gig, she told the audience, "I want to apologize. I did hit my head and I think I may have a concussion. But don't you worry, I will finish this show." The singer's make-up artist, Tara Savelo, <a href="https://twitter.com/TaraSavelo/status/211820859176919040" target="_blank">tweeted</a> about the incident on Sunday, writing, "Gaga has a concussion but she is going to be okay. She wants u to know she loves u. I'm taking care of her. Can't believe she finished the show."</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Lady Gaga Will Bring a 'Personal' Touch To 'Born This Way' Tour" id="vid:717952" width="415" height="255"></div><p></p>
