Madonna performed a free concert at Brazil's Copacabana Beach, drawing a crowd of over 1.6 million fans.
The pop queen entertained the audience with hits like Like A Prayer and Vogue during the two-hour show.
The event featured guest performances by Brazilian artists Anitta and Pabllo Vittar and samba school musicians.
Authorities deployed over 3,000 police officers to manage the massive crowd, focusing on preventing heat-related health issues.
The concert, partially funded by private sponsors, is expected to boost Rio's economy by an estimated 300 million Brazilian reals.
