A night of emotion and celebration
Gaga expressed her deep gratitude to the Brazilian audience in an emotional Instagram post after the show.
“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,” she wrote. “The sight of the crowd during my opening songs took my breath away.”
She praised the country’s vibrant culture and spirit, calling it a privilege to share such a historic moment with her fans.
Inspiring message to the world
Reflecting on the record-breaking attendance, Gaga shared an inspiring message with her global fanbase:
“If you lose your way, you can find your way back if you believe in yourself and work hard. You can lift yourself up—even if it takes some time.”
She thanked her loyal fans — affectionately known as “Little Monsters” — for their unwavering support and love across the years.
“We’re making history tonight”
During the concert, Gaga acknowledged the significance of the night, telling the crowd, “Tonight, we’re making history. Thank you for making history with me.”
She continued, “Your freedom, your love, your spirit — may it be heard around the world tonight. 2.5 million people!”
Setting new standards in live music
While Rod Stewart still holds the all-time record for the largest concert audience, Gaga’s Copacabana performance has cemented her place in history as the most-watched female performer — a moment both the artist and her fans will never forget.
