American veteran singer Madonna has made history by breaking the record for the largest standalone musical concert in history.

At 65 years old, Madonna achieved this remarkable milestone during the final stop of her Celebration Tour in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Live Nation reported that a staggering 1.6 million people attended the concert, held on the iconic Copacabana beach, marking it as the largest standalone concert by an artist to date. Remarkably, tickets for this monumental event were free of charge.

Madonna captivated the massive crowd with a medley of her greatest hits, including ‘Nothing Really Matters,’ ‘Like a Prayer,’ and ‘Vogue.’ The audience was treated to a special moment when Brazilian star Anitta joined Madonna on stage.

Thank you @Madonna for having me be a part of this record setting night. 1.6 million people in Rio. You’re a queen ❤️ pic.twitter.com/cbrlg8q0D9
