The audience erupted when, over an hour late, the star dressed in a sparkling suit in the colors of Brazil arrived on the monumental stage of 1345 m2, set up for the occasion facing the legendary Copacabana Palace where she was staying. She exclaimed: “Brazil, I love you! It is magical to think that we are here, millions of united souls, ready to sing, dance, move, and remind the world what really matters.” (Keystone)
