Huge crowds head to Copacabana for free Lady Gaga concert

Lady Gaga performed a free mega-concert on Saturday at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, attracting large crowds of fans.
The event marked Gaga's return to Brazil after more than a decade and was included in the campaign to promote her eighth album, Mayhem.
Authorities deployed a massive security force of 5,000 officers using drones, facial recognition, and surveillance cameras to manage the estimated 1.6 million attendees.
Luan Messias shared his enthusiasm for the song 'Abracadabra,' noting it has a lively rhythm reminiscent of her earlier music, while other fans arrived early to secure their spots for the concert.
Officials expect the concert to generate up to $100 million for Rio's economy, nearly 30% more than a similar Madonna event last year, highlighting its economic significance.
