Hack Job:
Lady Gaga finally spilled the beans about the thwarted terrorist attack at her concert in Brazil.
Nearing her forties, this pop diva ain't got time for no bullsh*t. She expressed her thoughts on the bomb scare that almost got her at her recent gig.
Two suspects were busted by the cops for allegedly bombing Lady Gaga's show, but apparently, there was nothing to worry about. A rep for the singing sensation told The Hollywood Reporter,
"We found out about this supposed threat from media outlets this morning. There weren't any known safety issues prior to or during the show, nor did we get any word from the cops or authorities about any potential threats. Gaga's crew worked hand-in-hand with law enforcement during the planning and execution of the concert, and everyone was confident in the security measures."
The attack aimed at the "Born This Way" queen's record-breaking show that drew a huge crowd of 2.5 million people to Copacabana Beach, Rio de Janeiro, on May 3rd.
The police called the plot a "collective challenge" with the intention to garner attention on social media.
After the show, the Grammy winner took to Instagram to express her gratitude towards her fans.
"I've never felt a feeling quite like the one I experienced during last night's show – the sheer pride and joy I felt while performing for the people of Brazil."
She added, "The sight of the crowd during my opening songs took my breath away. Your culture is so rich and vibrant, I am eternally grateful to have shared this historical moment with you."
Reports suggest that the plot was aimed at the LGBT fans and kids attending the concert. Despite the scare, the event contributed significantly to the local economy, with projections pointing to an economic boost of at least $106 million. The concert attracted fans from all over Brazil and abroad, making it a major, globally-watched event. However, the specifics of the terrorist plot and the individuals or groups involved remain unknown. The successful prevention of the attack highlights the effectiveness of security measures in place during major public events.
