Lady Gaga held a free concert on May 3 on Copacabana Beach, situated in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The free concert attracted an estimated two million Gaga fans, which left the artist in awe. The setlist comprised some of her biggest hits, including Abracadabra, Poker Face, and Die With A Smile.

The concert was organized by Rio de Janeiro’s City Hall, whose objective was to increase the local economy. The concert reportedly generated over $100,000. After the concert, Gaga wrote a heartfelt letter on Instagram stating,

"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. An estimated 2.5 million people came to see me sing, the biggest crowd for any woman in history."

The singer ended the caption by writing,

"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 up little monsters. Obrigada. Love, Mother Monster."
