Mayor of Rio posted the video for “Bad Romance” and fueled expectations of a concert by the singer in Copacabana this year
The mayor of Rio, (PSD), joked this Sunday (January 12, 2025) about one of the singer in the city in May this year.
On his profile on X (formerly Twitter), Paes shared the video for “Bad Romance”, a 2009 hit by Gaga, with the caption: “I will get it right”.
Calm down people! I will get it right! Why so much anxiety?

The 38-year-old singer, who has hits such as “Shallow” and “Poker Face” is considered to perform on Copacabana beach, but the show has not yet been confirmed by Rio City Hall.
In 2024, Rio hosted Madonna’s free concert, which brought together around 1.6 million people. With the success of the attraction, Paes said he intends to hold one big free show in the city per year, but has not yet announced the chosen one for 2025.
Madonna received around R$17 million for the performance. In addition to the millionaire fee, the cost to bring the necessary equipment for the artist’s show in Brazil was estimated at R$20 million.
Rio City Hall invested R$10 million in the show through a sponsorship contract. The State government said the return was R$300 million.
