Madonna 1.6 Million Fans Pack Rio's Beach!!! Final Tour Stop Sets Record
Leave it to Madonna to go out with a bang ... that's how you'd have to describe the insane scene in Brazil when she closed out her world tour with more than a million people in the sand.
A reported 1.6 million Madonna lovers turned out for the free concert on Rio de Janeiro's famed Copacabana Beach ... and it was a total spectacle. At one point, the massive crowd actually got in sync enough to take over singing "Like A Virgin."
The final night of Madge's tour, which got off to a rocky start last October, turned out to be a milestone for her. The sea of Rio fans destroyed the previous record for largest Madonna concert ... which was a measly 130,000 for her 1987 Paris show.
Bad Bunny Screw the Concert, We're Brawling!!! Female Fans in Wild Fight

Check out the wild video ... 2 not-so-gentlewomen each grabbed handfuls of the other's hair as one of them managed to fire off an absolute flurry of punches. If it was a UFC fight, the ref would've ended it, the beatdown was that brutal.

Dua Lipa and the 'SNL' writers didn't let a certain gun-toting, dog-shooting politician off the hook ... and instead made Gov. Kristi Noem the punchline to kick off the show.
The singer was the host and musical act Saturday night, and shouted out her new album "Radical Optimism" during her monologue. Dua explained the album title refers to "looking on the bright side of any situation."
She proceeded to offer some examples with help from cast members in the audience, which is when Heidi Gardner stood up in a MAGA hat and said, "Hi, I'm South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem" ... opening the door for Dua to cut her off quickly.
