At Lady Gaga concert in Nashville, Tennessee on Tuesday was marred by drama as an audience member suffered a cardiac arrest during the show.

Paramedics rushed to resuscitate Crystal Thornton, 33, after she collapsed during a performance by one Gaga's opening acts at the city's Bridgestone Arena.

Thornton's heart was restarted using a portable defibrillator and she was subsequently airlifted to hospital. She is now expected to make a full recovery.

A statement from doctors at the Vanderbilt Medical Center reads, "The patient received incredible care from the moment she experienced problems at the Bridgestone Arena. It is only through a coordinated team effort that her successful outcome was possible."
