At 10:10 p.m., with a 25-minute delay, Lady Gaga took the stage at Todo Mundo No Rio in Brazil and gave a performance lasting more than two hours - a display of excellence that moved the audience of 2 million-plus people and the artist herself.

Brazilian police say that they have thwarted a plot to detonate a bomb at Lady Gaga’s concert the night before in Rio de Janeiro, the biggest show of her career that drew some 2 million fans to Copacabana Beach.
