Thousands await Rosalía's Buenos Aires debut amid fan support

Buenos Aires buzzed with anticipation as thousands of Rosalía's fans flocked to the Movistar Arena for her debut concert on Saturday. The Spanish superstar is set to perform four shows in the city as part of her 'Lux Tour'.

Despite a recent controversy surrounding her comments about Argentina's defeat to Spain in the 2026 World Cup final, which some interpreted as dismissive, the excitement for Rosalía's performance remained palpable. Fans arrived early, braving security measures and long queues, adorned in glitter and outfits inspired by the artist's distinctive 'Motomami' aesthetic.

Many attendees expressed their unwavering support for Rosalía, with some acknowledging the controversy but choosing to focus on her artistry. "What she did can be discussed, but we are all human and anyone can make a mistake. I didn't think about returning the ticket, it didn't even cross my mind," said Ilan Chaya, a long-time fan who had previously attended one of her concerts in Buenos Aires.

Others, like Margarita Fassi, who traveled from Entre Ríos province, downplayed the incident, stating, "I'm here to see the artist, not what she thinks about Argentina or Spain. She said it as a young person, I think it was unintentional." While some fans admitted to feeling offended, the overwhelming sentiment was one of eagerness to experience Rosalía's live performance, with spontaneous chants and supportive signs filling the atmosphere outside the venue.
