Argentine superstar Lali Espósito used her second sold-out concert at the iconic River Plate stadium to address her public confrontations with President Javier Milei. Amidst a roaring crowd, Espósito spoke about the pressure she faced to remain silent on political matters.

"Obviously, I was advised to shut my mouth, not to confront Milei," Espósito told the audience. "But I feel that we have a code, I don't know how to explain it." She described an invaluable connection with her fans, one where she feels they understand her essence. "It's like I don't have to explain who I am to you; I look at you and I can recognize in you a friend, someone I know, whom I love, who knows who I am, and I feel like I can know what you are like. And that is invaluable, and that is what bothers many people, because that is the truth."

Espósito emphasized that truth is perceptible. "The truth is known, the truth is seen, the truth is felt... it is felt, it is noticed." She thanked her fans for accepting her as she is. The singer, who previously dedicated her song "Fanático" to Milei, reiterated her stance against what she called a "cultural battle" that some sought to impose. "People are not stupid, people know," she declared to the packed stadium.

The concert also featured a surprise appearance by Australian singer Kylie Minogue. Espósito concluded her message by thanking her fans for their unwavering support, both in the past and present, before paying tribute to the recently deceased Argentine rock icon Indio Solari.
