“You are not alone,” Tini Stoessel’s fans shouted during her concert at Mexico City’s Arena Ciudad de México. The Argentine singer paused emotionally, while avoiding any direct reference to the personal conflict that has placed her name and her father Alejandro Stoessel in the headlines for days.
You are not alone.
Alejandro Stoessel represented his daughter for 15 years. On this night, Tini chose silence about the dispute and let the concert speak instead. She opened the show by descending from a suspended spacecraft while singing “El cielo.” Later, an arrow shot across the screens and led into scenes from “Violetta,” the Disney series that launched her international career.
Tini revived songs from that period, including “En mi mundo,” “Cómo quieres” and “Te creo.” The nostalgia deepened when Jorge Blanco and Mechi Lambre, her former co-stars, appeared to loud cheers. “I’m so happy to see that my little sister achieved this. You deserve all the good things,” Blanco told her. From the stands came another declaration: “Tini, sister, you are Mexican now.”
I’m so happy to see that my little sister achieved this. You deserve all the good things.
The production moved through images of forgetting and forgiveness before shifting into the electronic songs “Down” and “Me gusta,” her collaboration with Miranda! Danna then joined her onstage. Tini told her, “Mexico’s queen, I love you so much. I’m happy to have met you, and even happier to know you as a person.” They performed “Si tú te vas,” and Danna replied, “I love you so much, my friend. You are at home here. May these be two incredible nights. Mexico loves you, and so do I.”
Mexico’s queen, I love you so much. I’m happy to have met you, and even happier to know you as a person.
Tini also came down from the stage, greeted fans and accepted gifts including Mexican and LGBT+ flags and a Mexico national team shirt. She sent a kiss to “the love of my life,” Rodrigo De Paul, before finishing with “Fantasi,” “Pa’ él” and “La Triple T.” Near midnight, roughly 15,000 voices called for more. Tini promised to meet them again on October 25.
I love you so much, my friend. You are at home here. May these be two incredible nights. Mexico loves you, and so do I.
