PARIS (CBS/AP) Lady Gaga has been snowed out in Paris.

The weather led authorities to ban big trucks from driving through the Ile de France region that includes Paris. Lady Gaga's trucks couldn't get to the venue on time for Sunday's performance, concert venue Bercy stadium said on its website.

The show was originally supposed to take place in October, but was postponed amid nationwide strikes over a government plan to raise the retirement age.

The diva vented on Twitter, writing that "All 28 of my trucks for the Monsterball were detained by the French government going on over 26 hrs."

"I am furious and devastated," she wrote, adding that it was "unfair to my fans and to me."

She added that she asked to do a stripped version of her elaborate show without the sets, but even sound and power equipment was blocked.

Gaga also wrote that two of her employees were "arrested trying to get into Paris so we could perform," without elaborating. French police, the singer's representatives and the concert venue did not immediately return calls and e-mails seeking comment on that claim.

A concert Monday will go forward as planned, and the canceled show is rescheduled for Tuesday.
