Lady Gaga made history in Rio de Janeiro over the weekend, performing to a record-breaking crowd estimated at 2.5 million people at Copacabana Beach.
The free concert marked the largest audience of the pop star’s career and set a new record for the highest-attended concert by a female artist, according to event promoters.
The Saturday night performance marked Gaga’s return to Brazil, more than a decade after her last scheduled appearance in the country was canceled in 2017 due to health concerns.

Gaga addressed the crowd mid-show, sharing,“Tonight, we’re making history, but no one makes history alone. Without all of you, the incredible people of Brasil, I wouldn’t have this moment, thank you for making history with me.”
The landmark Rio concert comes ahead of Gaga’s upcoming international dates. She is scheduled to perform four nights at Singapore’s National Stadium on May 18, 19, 21, and 24 before launching the U.S. leg of her “Mayhem Ball” tour in July.
