LADY Gaga has spoken out after it was revealed Brazilian police foiled a bomb plot at her massive free concert on Saturday.

The singer said she is “grateful” for her fans and felt “absolute pride and joy […] singing for the people of Brazil”.

An estimated 2.5million flocked to watch the free concert at Rio De Janeiro’s Copacabana Beach – so an explosion could have been devastating.

Brazilian cops said they disrupted an attack allegedly planned by a group spreading hate speech against the LGBTQ+ community.

Two people have been arrested over the alleged scheme.

Police said the group tried to recruit teenagers to carry out attacks using Molotov cocktails and improvised explosives.

In an Instagram post on Sunday, Lady Gaga did not directly address the reports but instead heaped praise on the people of Brazil and their culture.

She wrote: “Nothing could prepare me for the feeling I had during last night’s show—the absolute pride and joy I felt singing for the people of Brazil.

“The sight of the crowd during my opening songs took my breath away.

“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.”

The crowd of an estimated 2.5million people is the largest ever for any woman history, she said.
