Brazilian police thwart planned bomb attack at Lady Gaga concert

They were clearly saying that they were planning an attack at Lady Gaga’s concert motivated by sexual orientation,

Cury told a press conference on Sunday

Your heart shines so bright, your culture is so vibrant and special, I hope you know how grateful I am to have shared this historical moment with you,

she gushed

You can give yourself dignity by rehearsing your passion and your craft, pushing yourself to new heights— you can lift yourself up even if it takes some time

She continued

Her team worked closely with law enforcement throughout the planning and execution of the concert and all parties were confident in the safety measures in place.”

The statement added

The operation was launched to neutralize the digital behavior that was being coordinated, with potential risk to the public at the event, without any impact on attendees,

police said

Nothing could prepare me for the feeling I had during last night’s show—the absolute pride and joy I felt singing for the people of Brazil,

she wrote

We learned about this alleged threat via media reports this morning,

a spokesperson for the pop star told Fox News Digital

THANK GOD. This would have had an impact on over 2 million people,

posted the LadyGagaFansTogether Instagram account, which has 307,000 followers

This operation is an example of the integrated response capacity of the Civil Police. We acted surgically to dismantle a network that co-opted young people for violent practices in the digital environment. Our main objective is to protect adolescents and prevent symbolic violence from migrating to reality."

Rodney da Silva, Director of the Directorate of Integrated Operations and Intelligence (DIOPI) of the MJSP, said

The network promoted the radicalization of adolescents, the dissemination of hate crimes, self-mutilation, and violent content as a form of belonging and defiance among young people,

the press release stated

It's a great honor to be asked to sing for Rio — for my whole career the fans in Brazil have been part of the lifeblood of the little monsters,

the singer wrote

Thank you for making history with me

Lady Gaga told a screaming crowd

The plan was treated as a ‘collective challenge’ with the aim of gaining notoriety on social media,

the police said

The suspects were recruiting participants, including minors, to carry out coordinated attacks using improvised explosives and Molotov cocktails,

the police said in a statement

Today is the best day of my life,

said Manoela Dobes, a 27-year-old designer who was wearing a dress plastered with a photograph from when she met Lady Gaga in the United States in 2019.

Brazil! I missed you. I missed you so much,

she exclaimed, before launching into Poker Face, one of her biggest hits

I've been a 100% fan of Lady Gaga my whole life,
