Rosalía apologizes to Argentine fans during Buenos Aires concert

Spanish singer Rosalía opened her first Buenos Aires show of the LUX Tour at the Movistar Arena by publicly apologising for a controversial repost she shared after the 2026 World Cup final, which many Argentine fans interpreted as mocking their national team. She said she had acted out of curiosity, called it “a huge mistake,” and affirmed that her love for Argentina remained unchanged. The audience of about 15,000 responded with a lengthy ovation. During the concert she recalled her 2019 Lollapalooza debut in Argentina, describing it as the moment she felt she had “made it” abroad, and highlighted the country’s passionate support. Guest Argentine singer Ángela Torres appeared in the “Confesionario” segment, and the set featured songs such as “La Perla,” a cover of “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” and a piano rendition of “Alfonsina y el mar.” The apology and the emotional tribute helped defuse the earlier backlash, and the show proceeded without further incident.
