The MTV Video Music Awards took place this week and one source revealed that Lady Gaga may have needed her teeth whitening before she faced the cameras.

Speaking to the Mirror, a source revealed that the fashionable pop star wanted a white theme as a nod to Madonna’s Like A Virgin hit.

“Her dressing room was stocked with white tea sets, Smile Studio teeth whitening, white flowers, white sofas … Everything was ice white,” they were quoted as saying.

It was certainly a successful awards ceremony for the singer, who won eight gongs including best collaboration, best female video, best pop video and video of the year – most of which were for the song Bad Romance.

Lady Gaga’s teeth whitening was not the only colour change the star was involved in, with the publication reporting that she asked for the red carpet to be swapped for a white one.

The singer is currently touring the US before undertaking a series of gigs in Europe.
