  1. >Lady Gaga held a free concert at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday, May 3, performing tracks from her massive catalog of hits for an estimated crowd of 2.5 million people.

    >The show, which marked the pop superstar’s first concert in Brazil in over a decade, broke the record for the highest-attended concert by a female artist in history — a record previously held by Madonna — concert organizers told Variety.

    >”Nothing could prepare me for the feeling I had during last night’s show — the absolute pride and joy I felt singing for the people of Brazil. The sight of the crowd during my opening songs took my breath away. Your heart shines so bright, your culture is so vibrant and special, I hope you know how grateful I am to have shared this historical moment with you,” Gaga, 39, wrote in an Instagram post on Sunday, May 4, celebrating the event.

    >”An estimated 2.5 million people came to see me sing, the biggest crowd for any woman in history. I wish I could share this feeling with the whole world — I know I can’t, but I can say this — if you lose your way, you can find your way back if you believe in yourself and work hard. You can give yourself dignity by rehearsing your passion and your craft, pushing yourself to new heights — you can lift yourself up even if it takes some time,” she continued.

    >Added Gaga: “Thank you Rio for waiting for me to come back. Thank you little monsters all over the world. I love you. I will never forget this moment. Paws
