Lady Gaga Shatters Major Madonna Record At Brazil Concert

Lady Gaga has achieved the greatest performance of his career, and perhaps the greatest flexion in the history of the diva Pop.

But the performance was not only monumental, it was emotional.

He marked the long -awaited return of Lady Gaga to Brazil, his first time in the country since 2012. She was already forced to cancel an appearance in 2017 after being hospitalized with fibromyalgia.

On Saturday evening, at the emblematic beach of Copacabana du Brazil, Lady Gaga attracted 2.5 million breathtaking fans to her free Rio de Janeiro concert.

“Tonight we are making history,” Gaga told the sea of ​​little monsters. “Thank you for making the story with me!”

While Madonna made the headlines last year to attract 1.6 million fans to the same beach for the final of its celebration tour, the crowd of Gaga now officially eclipses this number, intensifying long-standing comparisons between the two Italian-American icons.

The fans began to arrive at Sunrise just to claim a good place on the sea place, where the organizers set up several monitors and 16 soundtresses to ensure that the massive crowd could live every second in the show.

At one point, the winner of Grammy 14 times, born Stefani Germanotta, appeared on stage draped in a green, blue and yellow dress in tribute to the flag of Brazil, receiving thunderous applause from the crowd.

“Nothing could prepare me for the feeling that I had during the program last night, the absolute pride and the joy that I felt for the inhabitants of Brazil,” she wrote the next day social networks. “The view of the crowd during my opening songs cut my breath. Your heart shines so brilliant, and your culture is so dynamic and special. I hope you know how grateful I have shared this historic moment with you.”

“It is estimated that 2.5 million people came to see me sing, the biggest crowd for any woman in history,” she continued. “You can lift yourself up even if it takes a little time … Thank you, Rio, for waiting for me to come back.” Thank you with little monsters all over the world. I love you. I will never forget this moment. Feet the little monsters. Obrigada. “

The queen of pop previously admitted that she “would not like” to be mistaken with Gaga, saying to the Toronto fans: “I mean, you know, nothing against Lady Gaga. Likes him. I do! I like anyone shorter than me. “

Their famous quarrel dates back to 2012, when Madonna called Gaga “reductive” for the release of “Born This Way”, a track largely compared to its 1989 anthem “Express Yourself”.

The shade did not stop there. Madge then crushed the two songs during his “MDNA tour”, crowned with his not so subtle song “She’s not me”.

The tension seemed to cool in 2019 when the two posed together at the post-Ooscars celebration of Madonna, but with Gaga, now dethroning the record of Copacabana de Madge, the fans wonder if the rivalry has quietly returned.

However, Rod Stewart technically holds the world record Guinness for the biggest free rock concert in history, with 4 million fans attending its 1994 New Year performance on the same beach.

Gaga will lend his pipes to “die with a smile” to Singapore for four nights in May before launching his huge “Mayhem Ball Tour” of 57 dates at the T-Mobile Arena de Las Vegas on July 16, 18 and 19.

This tour is more than a simple series of shows for the artist with multiple talents. Gaga describes the “chaos ball” as a determined movement towards intimacy and theatrical precision, an evolution of his artistic talent and a direct response to the constant desire of his more unforgettable live experiences.

“There is something electricity in a stadium, and I like these shows every moment,” said Gaga. “But with” The Mayhem Ball “, I wanted to create a different type of experience, something more intimate, closer, more connected, which lends itself to live theatrical art than I like to create.”

The passage of stadiums to the arenas was a carefully considered movement.

Gaga shared that performance in the arenas allows him to define all the details, which gives him a complete creative control over the immersive elements that define the atmosphere of the show.

“We have chosen the arenas this time to give me the opportunity to control the details of the show in a way that you simply cannot in the stadiums, and honestly, I can’t wait.”

Released on March 7, this year’s album was instantly acclaimed from criticism and fans. The genres flexion collection climbed at the top of the Billboarding charts in a few days, with out -of -competition songs like “Killah” and “Garden of Eden” quickly reaching their cult status thanks to their sound range and their lyric intensity.
