Lady Gaga was spotted at the Cantagalo slum in Rio De Janeiro. Sporting pink hair, and mobbed by young fans, the pop superstar walked around the alleys in the “Favela” (Brazilian, for a crowded towns with huts, seen along the mountains outside Urban areas), before reportedly stopping for a beer at a local bar.

Gaga then posed on the back of a motorcycle taxi, giving its young driver a kiss on the cheek, before singing and signing autographs for children.

Gaga is in Rio as the current stop of her “Born This Way Ball” concert, taking place on November 9.

She also released her latest video for the song “Bitch Do Not Kill My Vibe,” featuring clips shot in Rio (reported by Brazilian online media).

All in a day’s work, and not a bad way of bringing attention to places less blessed with what we take for granted here in United States.

Good work Gaga!
