Brazilian singer Anitta has become a focal point of political discussion regarding her stance in the 2026 elections. Initially, the singer drew attention for following Renan Santos, leader of the Movimento Brasil Livre (MBL), on Instagram. At that time, Anitta stated she did not intend to produce content requesting votes for President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, arguing that such material would only reach those who already shared her views and expressing concern that her image might be exploited by political opponents.

Following these developments, Anitta publicly declared her support for President Lula. This shift led to criticism from journalist Luiz Bacci, who addressed the singer’s political preference on his YouTube channel.
