During the tour of the album Lux, Rosalía has published a text on the Substack platform titled La tour life, a piece in which she reflects on the nomadic life of artists. The singer opens up now that her tour is halfway through and explains that she lately likes to talk on stage more. During the last concert in New York, Rosalía addressed the audience to explain what the "crazy life" was like that she and so many other musicians have when they have to perform concerts all over the world.The star from Sant Esteve Sesrovires believes one must be brave to live this life because it involves sacrifices: "You live constantly changing places, far from your loved ones or the place where you were born," says the singer. Rosalía explains that to transform the spaces where she stays and which feel foreign to her, she tries to decorate them, thus reinforcing a lie she is aware of: "You observe, superbly, these spaces as if they were yours, as if you truly thought that hotel room belonged to you," says the Catalan star.For not belonging anywhere

For the singer, the concept of home goes far beyond a simple physical space. It represents, therefore, "the symbolic axis" that keeps you standing. It is for this reason that this constant process of building and destroying a supposed home is traumatic for the artist: "You build your home religiously every day and you do it knowing that you will have to destroy it hours later".The text concludes with Rosalía expressing the fear of "not belonging anywhere", despite stating that she knows she holds within her everything that matters to her and that there will be things she can never lose. After this confession in the Substack newsletter, the singer has also been trending on social media for her concert in Los Angeles and for the special guest she had there, Karol G.Rosalía and Karol G: end of conspiracy theories

For years, fans of the singers have speculated about a supposed feud between the Catalan star and the Colombian artist. A theory that came to an end this Monday during the Lux Tour concert. Rosalía invited Karol G to participate in her now usual confessional before the hit La perla. La Bichota, as Rosalía introduced her, confirmed that they had not had the pleasure of meeting beyond occasional greetings, but that her presence at the concert represented "another level of friendship".In Rosalía's confessional, the guest declared that she was with someone who never liked celebrating her birthday with her. "Who wouldn't want to spend this date with their partner?", the Bichota wondered. The singer from Medellín continued explaining that this reluctance persisted to the point of not valuing that she traveled to the other end of the world to celebrate together. This made her open her eyes and realize "the lack of consideration she was submerged in". With her appearance in the confessional, Karol G has joined the string of celebrities who have shared intimacies in one of the most iconic moments of Rosalía's show.
