That post is referring to a huge beach concert by Shakira in Rio de Janeiro, at the famous Copacabana Beach—a location known for hosting massive public events.
Crowd estimates at events like this often become a point of debate. Officials (like the mayor mentioned) sometimes give higher figures, while independent analyses—such as those by BBC Verify—tend to apply more conservative methods (like satellite imagery, area density calculations, and comparisons to past events). That’s why you’re seeing skepticism, especially since similar claims were questioned for a Lady Gaga concert at the same beach.
In short:
The concert definitely drew an enormous crowd.
But “two million” is likely an estimate rather than a precise count—and possibly an inflated one.
