During the first concert of her LUX Tour 2026 tour in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), this Monday, August 10, singer Rosalía (Barcelona, 33 years old) wanted to leave one of her particular and carefree reflections on stage. After listening to Brazilian artist Marina Sena in her famous confessional, who admitted that, in the past, she had taken an open relationship proposal very seriously, the Catalan singer jokingly quipped: “They ask for fire and then can’t handle the heat.”
Sena, one of the voices of the new generation of Brazilian music and author of hits like Ai que delícia o verão and Mande um sinal, shared during her visit to the confessional that at 21 she fell in love with a man who initially did not reciprocate, but when they finally started a relationship, he proposed opening it to other partners. The Brazilian confessed that she accepted the proposal and surprised the audience by stating that, for a time, she even had a different boyfriend every week.
The confessional was one of the moments of greatest complicity between Rosalía and a predominantly Carioca audience on a night marked by the warmth the artist showed towards her fans and the majesty of her stage production. As if it were an extension of the singer’s spiritual and theatrical universe, the audience blended among operatic chants, sacred music, and electronic pop that Rosalía brought to the stage. Angels, brides, and demons came to light in the Farmasi Arena in Rio after hours spent in raincoats, outdoors, and under relentless rain, waiting for the doors to open for the concert. In a kind of witches’ sabbath, they danced and sang to the rhythm of the Catalan, who quickly warmed up with her followers with clear and perfect Portuguese that sometimes ended up being portuñol.

Rosalía will offer her second concert in Rio de Janeiro this Tuesday and then travel to Mexico, where she has eight shows planned. She will then continue her tour through Latin America in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where she will end her tour on September 3. On this journey, the Motomami singer has left almost as many headlines as great moments on stage. After her stop in Chile for four nights at the Movistar Arena, where she took the opportunity to visit Naoki in Vitacura and Mirlo café in Providencia in the capital and was also seen in the Lastarria neighborhood sector, in the historic center of Santiago, taking photos with some of her fans, Rosalía traveled to Buenos Aires amid controversy over a video she shared on social media.

The singer arrived in Argentina for another four concerts of her tour when the waters of the tsunami of indignation caused by reposting on her social networks a video of influencer Mia Khalifa celebrating Spain’s victory from a balcony in New York had not yet subsided. In the background, La Perla played, while an overlaid text proclaimed that life sounded different now that “the Perlas” (referring to the Argentine team) had been defeated. Finally, Rosalía deleted the message and apologized, but those gestures were insufficient for some fans, who chose to sell their tickets or tried unsuccessfully to return them.
Before all this, when her LUX Tour still had her touring the United States in early June, the DESPECHÁ singer had to cancel her concerts in Florida due to a family emergency, postponing three scheduled dates in Miami and Orlando. The Catalan artist happily reappeared a week later at the TD Arena in Boston, although she was later forced to cancel one of her two performances in New York due to the possible NBA finals at Madison Square Garden.
