One of the great memes in Brazilian pop culture was generated by the singer Lady Gaga 38, in 2017, when the artist canceled her trip to Brazil to perform at the festival Rock in Rio . The moment caused frustration among fans and an iconic statement from the star, which said “Brazil, I’m Devasted” (“Brazil, I’m devastated”, translated into Portuguese) . The phrase went viral and is still remembered today.
The only time the singer performed in Brazil was in 2012, with the tour “Born This Way Ball”. Now, according to information, she is expected to return to the country for a show at Copacabana Beach, in Rio de Janeiro.
The mayor of Rio Eduardo Paes, who announced Madonna’s coming to Rio this year, caused a stir on social media recently by saying that he was ready to do it again. Some names mentioned by him as being considered to perform in Copacabana were from Beyoncé, U2, Adele and Lady Gaga.
This Thursday (28), the columnist Laura Jardim from the portal O Globo, even confirmed that Lady Gaga signed an agreement to hold a megashow.
