Rio’s civil police force said that together with the ministry of justice it “prevented a bomb attack that would have occurred at Lady Gaga’s concert in Copacabana” on Saturday night.
Writing on X, Rio police said it had arrested an adult who was “responsible for the plot” as well as a teenager in the operation codenamed “Fake Monster” -- a reference to the US pop diva’s pet name for her fans, “Little Monsters.”
The police added that the group behind the alleged plot “spread hate speech” and promoted radicalization and self-harm online.
“The police acted silently and without creating panic... We acted surgically to prevent the crime from happening,“ Felipe Curi from Rio De Janeiro’s Civil Police said in a statement.
Lady Gaga’s concert was the second million-strong show on Copacabana beach in a year after a huge concert last year by Madonna.
The 39-year-old star’s fans reacted with shock to the news of the foiled plot.
Writing on the same account one fan said he was “scared sick about her (Gaga) being safe at all times.”
“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,“ she posted on X, formerly Twitter.
All week, Gaga fans had flocked to Rio, a city famous for its annual Carnival that attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists from around the world.
Lady Gaga had kicked off her show perched more than two meters (6.5 feet) above the stage in a massive scarlet hoop gown which opened to reveal a vertical cage from which her dancers exited to a rendition of her 2011 song “Bloody Mary.”
“Brazil, I missed you so much,“ screamed the pop star, who performed several tracks from her latest album, “Mayhem,“ as well as favorites from throughout her career.
