American Singer, Songwriter, and Actress, Madonna aka 'Queen of Pop' played her biggest-ever gig to an estimated 1.6 million people on Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro.
Being the last show in her Celebration tour, The Queen of Pop took to the stage and performed hits such As A Prayer, Vogue, Hung Up, Into The Groove, and Like A Virgin.
However, the city authorities estimated a crowd of 1.6 million, which would earn the local economy about 293 million reals (£46m).
"Here we are in the most beautiful place in the world," Madonna told the crowd as she pointed out Rio's famous mountains and Christ the Redeemer statue.
Brazilian musicians and people from local samba schools were involved in the show - with many fans dressing up in Madonna-themed outfits.
Many fans had staked out a spot many hours - or even days - before the show, while others took in the spectacle from yachts or apartment balconies.
Madonna's website said it was the biggest she had ever done - more than 10 times the 130,000 she played to in Paris in 1987.
For Madonna, it was the culmination of an 81-date retrospective tour that began in London in October and moved across Europe and North and South America.
The singer embarked upon the tour a few months after being admitted to intensive care with a serious bacterial inaction in June 2023.
