Shakira performed her biggest hits in front of a huge crowd at a free concert on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday night.
About two million people came to see the Colombian pop star perform, according to a social media post by Rio de Janeiro Mayor Eduardo Cavaliere.
However, BBC Verify’s analysis of a previous Lady Gaga concert in 2025 on Copacabana Beach revealed these elements. the number of spectators is probably inflated.
The ‘Todo Mundo no Rio’ mega-concert was funded by the city in a bid to revitalize the local economy, with authorities estimating the event would generate around 800 million reais (£118 million) for Brazil.
