promotion

In October 2013 Lady Gaga sang the song on a piano at a "listening party" of her new album in Berlin . She wore a fake mustache. She said of the song that she wrote it when she was traveling around the world. She goes on to say that many believe that Gypsies have no home, but she thinks that they have one, namely with their fans. Malene Arpe from the Toronto Star said about her performance that it caused goosebumps in many and that it quickly made people forget the false mustache in the middle of their face. Lady Gaga also played the song at her ArtRave concert in November 2013 and on the 2014 tour of the same name. The song was also played on Saturday Night Live and on Lady Gaga's second Thanksgiving TV special, Lady Gaga and the Muppets' Holiday Spectacular , that broadcast on ABC. In an interview with SXSW in March 2014, she said that the song actually deserves a video.
