"You put on some pointe shoes and you look ridiculous," said Nacho Duato a few weeks ago in an Instagram video –which he deleted– in which he criticized the ballerina aesthetic that accompanies Rosalía in this latest show. The singer from Sant Esteve Sesrovires remained immune to the criticism and this Saturday night she performed the song Reliquia in this demanding ballet position during the almost four minutes of the track. The practically immobile shot and her solitary figure in a tutu until a dozen dancers appeared by her side at the end made the power of her voice and her static and ecstatic stage presence shine.

"I have a Rosalía hangover". That is how the Canadian poet Anne Carson, winner of the 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature, begins the article On Rosalía, which was published in the magazine London Review of Books. In it, she describes a concert by the artist from Sant Esteve Sesrovires held in Chicago on June 20th as part of the tour for the album Lux. Carson describes in a very poetic way the effects of the music but, above all, of Rosalía's magnetic presence on stage. She is fascinated by her power to move the audience. "With every intake of breath, the whole audience, one by one, screamed as if she were running her fingernail down their spines," writes Carson. "How can someone manage to seduce twenty thousand people in this way every night, throughout a tour across who knows how many cities? I am incapable of it," explains the poet, who breaks down everything that fascinates her about Rosalía's voice.

Rosalía returned this Wednesday to the show of American host Jimmy Fallon. The Catalan singer attended with the task of telling a funny anecdote. From the legendary sofa of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the artist recounted how one day she was locked out of a church she was very excited to enter. "On Sunday I wanted to visit the Abyssinian Baptist Church. I had been told they held a spectacular mass there," says Rosalía. The church, located in the Harlem neighborhood of New York, has over 200 years of history and is one of the most famous in the area. Aware of the historical and social importance of the place of worship, the singer got up early in the morning and got dressed up to go to the mass.

Rosalía has been recognized with the National Award for Current Music granted by the Spanish Ministry of Culture, endowed with 30,000 euros. According to the jury, the award for the artist from Sant Esteve Sesrovires is “for the artistic significance of the album Lux (2025), an ambitious, innovative, and transformative musical proposal, which elevates creative boundaries and has achieved unanimous recognition from critics and the public”. The jury also considers that Lux consolidates “a career of international scope characterized by research, risk, and creative evolution through the search for a unique sonic language that transcends genres, styles, and eras, and which reflects an enormous capacity to combine avant-garde and heritage”.

Rosalía adds seven nominations for the next edition of the Latin Grammys. The singer is nominated in the top category of Album of the Year for her latest record, Lux, which is also nominated for Best Alternative Music Album, and the single La perla gathers three more nominations for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Pop Song. Additionally, Rosalía is nominated in the category of Best Portuguese Language Song for Memória and in the Best Music Video category for Sauvignon Blanc.

Singer Rauw Alejandro, Rosalía's ex-partner, has become a father for the first time with his current girlfriend, according to the Univision program ¡Siéntese quien pueda! Journalist Álex Rodríguez has detailed that Alejandro is in a relationship with a Puerto Rican girl whom he met after breaking up with Rosalía. "They have had a very formal relationship for two years," explained the journalist, who added that the couple lives in New York, where she is finishing her studies. The singer, however, has not yet confirmed the birth of the child.

The choreographer and dancer Nacho Duato has harshly criticized Rosalía for using pointe shoes and a tutu during her "Lux" tour show. Duato posted a video on his Instagram account which he later deleted, but which other users managed to capture. The choreographer analyzed technical details of Rosalía's show and said, for example: "This tutu is not a tutu, it's a table full of skirts." Duato also railed against the artist's interpretation in relation to ballet pointe shoes: "She doesn't know how to rise onto pointe because she has it all turned inward. When she does an arabesque it looks like she's kicking the dancer. Her arms are left each one in its own direction," complained the choreographer.

Football euphoria can play nasty tricks, especially for easily excitable people. This is what happened to Rosalía a few weeks ago when, following Spain's victory in the World Cup final against Argentina, she shared a video of pornographic content actress Mia Khalifa where her song "The pearl, and which carried the text "How life sounds now that the pearls have lost their luster", referring to the informal name of the South American selection, but which could also have a negative connotation. The controversy included calls to boycott their concerts in the country. But, in view of the capacity of the first of the four dates scheduled for this week, with a full house, everything remained a mere bluster from some fans.

For some time now, footballers have stopped being simply athletes to become style icons, very often through association with renowned fashion brands. But finding the perfect styling is not an easy task, and it's most common for celebrities, when dressing, to receive advice from expert professionals who know much more about fashion than they do. Lamine Yamal, Barça's great star and one of the standout footballers of the 2026 World Cup, has also decided to rely on someone external to choose the pieces for his wardrobe. The chosen one to advise him is a person almost as well-known as he is, Pilar Vila, Rosalía's sister.

The Council of Information of Catalonia has issued a ruling to which ARA has had access according to which El matí de Catalunya Ràdio, presented by Ricard Ustrell, contravened three points of the professional deontological code. In this way, it upholds the photoreporter Jordi Borràs, who had gone to this arbitration body promoted by the College of Journalists of Catalonia to protest the treatment that the magazine had given to the veto applied to photographers by Rosalía at her concerts.Specifically, Borràs denounced that the presenter of the program, during the discussion, had made statements “false, biased, unverified, and that directly attack the dignity of the profession”, in the sense that it was implied that if entities in the sector complained, it was actually because they wanted to obtain free tickets.Another point of friction was the solution suggested by the program, which consisted of paying for the ticket, attending as an audience member, and taking photographs as spectators. “It is not true that we can bring a professional photo team and work from the stands as Ricard Ustrell repeatedly stated without even bothering to verify this claim or giving a voice to one of the hundreds of professionals who dedicate themselves to this craft,” wrote Borràs in his complaint.And there was still a third claim, due to the impossibility of exercising the right of rectification, despite having tried to do so by contacting the broadcaster, which contravenes criterion 3 of the code of ethics.The broadcaster's allegations

Catalunya Ràdio, for its part, argued that the fragments in question took place during the discussion panel called L’àgora, and that the station formally distinguishes clearly between information and opinion spaces. According to the allegations received, "the audience could clearly identify the change between the news segment and the start of the discussion panel".The Council of Information, however, considers that this distinction is not sufficient and that even if it is a space for opinion, this “does not exempt journalists from preserving a minimum of rigor in those statements that are susceptible to objective verification” and recalls that criterion 1 of the deontological code details that “the opinions expressed by journalists cannot contain false data or be based on them”. Furthermore, it details that at the time of the events “there was a public and formal position of the main representative organizations of the sector”, who consider these restrictions a hindrance to the right to information.The CIC determines that, furthermore, criterion 2 of the code was violated, according to which “injurious expressions should not be used nor imprecise or unsubstantiated data disseminated that could harm people's dignity and cause damage or discredit”, and which specifies that “the journalist must previously contact those affected to give them the opportunity to respond”. The committee opines that Catalunya Ràdio did not use “injurious expressions in the strict sense” but that “the reiteration of a narrative that essentially presented the conflict as a claim to obtain free access to shows could project a simplified and potentially disqualifying image of the demands of the affected professionals, especially in the absence of their version of events”, and, therefore, also considers this second criterion to have been violated.Likewise, it considers that the third criterion, relating to the right of reply, was also not met. Although Borràs called the program at the time to be able to intervene, he could not. The broadcaster did contact him, but from the midday news to collect some statements and, therefore, "did not provide a sufficient response to the request for verification and correction made by the claimant".

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.

The Lux Tour is arguably Rosalía's most ambitious tour to date. Everything is meticulously planned, including the wardrobe. Now that the singer has begun the North American leg of the tour, she has decided to make changes to some of the outfits she wears, and the novelties have come from Jonathan Anderson, creative director of Dior, who has designed four exclusive looks for her, which were already seen at the concert she gave in Boston. The French house has shared several videos on Instagram showing the creative process and allowing us to see Rosalía trying on the outfits she will wear in the concerts she still has to perform. It should be remembered that since 2024 Rosalía has been a global ambassador for Dior.

The name Rosalía often takes us to the singer from Sant Esteve Sesrovires, but at Barça there is another Rosalía who is looking to make her mark among the great stars of the first team. “It has been a very special season and, above all, one of great learning,” reviews Rosalía Domínguez (Camas, 2008), one of the jewels of the academy, to ’ARA. The Andalusian midfielder – who arrived at the Catalan club in the 2024-25 season – renewed her contract a few weeks ago until 2029. She is one of the eleven players with a reserve team contract who Pere Romeu has debuted in the first team, in addition to Sydney Schertenleib, Clara Serrajordi, Aïcha Camara, Martine Fenger, Carla Julià, Ainoa Gómez, Lúa Arufe, Adriana Ranera, Laia Martret and Maria Llorella.

The line of continuity, uncomfortable and fascinating, between the Christian confessional and Rosalía's confessional reveals the profound mutation of a cultural and religious instrument. The confessional has been central in Christian tradition, not only as a sacramental practice, but as a self-technology. The Church not only listened, but controlled and regulated consciences, behaviors, and narratives. Since the Middle Ages, confessing implies a precise dramaturgy, a delimited space, a voice that is exposed (the sinner) and an authority that listens (the priest) and absolves in the name of Christ. Furthermore, the seal of confession guarantees that what is said remains protected, reinforcing trust but also consolidating institutional power over intimate and non-transferable discourse. The undisputed intellectual reference for confession is the philosopher Augustine of Hippo and his Confessions, which inaugurate modern interiority. Without Saint Augustine, there would be no culture of introspection or moral economy of confession.The reappearance of this structure in the Lux Tour is surprising. In the concert, imitating being in a confessional, Rosalía takes the place of the listener and, symbolically, absolves. But the content changes radically, since those who confess (fans, influencers or artists) do not admit any guilt nor ask for forgiveness, but rather explain curious situations or romantic disappointments experienced. The victim, in fact, is not the one speaking, but the one who is spoken ill of: the ex-partner, "the narcissist", "the absent", turned into a narrative object, the so-called "gem". The confession thus shifts from individual moral examination to a satirical emotional exhibition shared with thousands of people.This moment in the confessional, located just before the song La perlaThis moment in the confessional, situated just before the topic In short, all this responds to a profound change in the concert model. We no longer just attend musical performances, but to the production of content in which attendees get involved, in one way or another, so that the public becomes another part of a spectacular gear that not only fills venues with its presence but also co-creates a new digital viral device.Saint Augustine sought God in inwardness; Rosalía turns this inwardness into a shareable spectacle. The question is no longer who listens to us and who absolves our sins, but who will share it. Perhaps in a future Lux Tour, as a new marketing resource, we will be able to consume a consecrated host by Rosalía.
