Summary
Lady Gaga attracted 2.1 million people in Copacabana, but did not exceed the record of Rod Stewart, which brings together from 3.5 to 4 million in 1994.
Lady Gaga put about 2.1 million people in Copacabana to look at their historical show on Saturday evening, 3, in Rio de Janeiro, according to Riotur. The number scares, but it is not the largest ever recorded on one of the most famous beaches in the world.
The owner of the record is Rod Stewart, who is recorded at Guinness Book as owner of the largest audience in history in a free show. At the end of 1994 to 1995, it is estimated that between 3.5 and 4 million people were Copacabana to honor the British.
The singer’s record, however, is contested by some people, as it may have attracted more people because it is a New Year party.
