“Holiday”, “La Isla Bonita”, “Music”, “Like a Virgin”, Like a Prayer”… Madonna sang all these hits during her final date of her “Celebration Tour” on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro. The queen of pop gave a gigantic concert in Rio de Janeiro, where no less than 1.5 million people flocked to cover the songs of the “queen of pop”.

After a start to the evening provided in particular by the American DJ Diplo, around 11 p.m., Madonna made her entrance on stage, dressed all in black, to perform “Nothing Really Matters”, a hymn to resilience, in front of a delighted crowd. She made a true declaration of love in Brazil and Rio de Janeiro

For this concert announced as “historic”, Madonna decided to add a Brazilian touch: the drag queen Pabllo Vittara Brazilian pop star, and a troupe of young people playing carioca funk percussion, with whom she danced to her hit “Music”, remodeled in a samba version for the occasion, but also the singer and dancer Anittawho came to join her on the song “Vogue”.

Faced with an audience committed to his cause for his 40-year career, Madonna also paid tribute to the ‘King of Pop’, Michael Jackson, with a mash-up (mixture) between “Like a Virgin” and “Billie Jean”, and the silhouettes of the eighties version of the two stars. For two hours, the public saw a sensual Madonna, a Madonna full of energy, whose choreographies are as impressive as ever. A militant Madonna too, icon of the LGBT community
