Singer Lady Gaga has said that glitter can solve the world’s problems.

The 23-year-old’s comments won applause from her fans as she shouted out the sayings at a gig in New Jersey.

She was seen performing in a number of bizarre costumes at the US show and one was similar to the outfit Kylie Minogue wore in the video for the I Just Can’t Get You Out Of Me Head video.

Gaga said: “With you little monsters, there is no hate in the world, there is only love. And you know, I believe that if a world war took place, you would all sing and dance and throw glitter until everybody stopped.”

She added: “Sequins are much more fun than bombs.”
