Lady Gaga has released the first statement after Brazilian police claimed that they foiled a bomb attack planned for her Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana beach show.
As per the Daily Mail, 2.1 million people attended the Poker Face hitmaker’s free concert in the Brazilian city on May 2.
The 39-year-old songstress took to her Instagram on Sunday and posted a message gushing about the gig. Unfortunately, Lady didn’t say anything about the bomb threat.
“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 pop star’s post began.
She further penned, “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.”
Expressing gratitude to her fans, Lady wrote, “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,” she continued.
The Bad Romance singer added, “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.”
“Thank you Rio for waiting for me to come back. Thank you little monsters all over the world. I love you,” Lady concluded the post.
Meanwhile, Lady’s representative revealed to TMZ that the singer wasn’t aware of the bomb threat until hearing about it in the news on Sunday.
The spokesperson added that Brazilian police had not notified them of any possible risks before the concert.
