Lady Gaga's free concert at Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana Beach drew a record-breaking 2.1 million attendees, making it the highest-attended concert by a female artist. The show, featuring hits like "Poker Face" and new material, surpassed Madonna's 2024 performance at the same venue. While the concert was a massive success, generating significant revenue for Rio, authorities revealed the arrest of two individuals suspected of plotting an attack involving explosives and Molotov cocktails hours before the event. Gaga and her team were reportedly unaware of the threat until after the concert.
