Rosalía Apologizes Onstage in Buenos Aires After Controversial World Cup Repost

Her onstage apology was meant to repair ties after she reshared a video many Argentines read as mocking their national team.

Overview

  • Rosalía stopped her first LUX Tour concert in Buenos Aires to apologize for reposting a Mia Khalifa TikTok that Argentine users interpreted as mocking Argentina’s loss to Spain.
  • She had previously posted a brief Instagram apology and onstage used the phrases “Tremenda cagada” and “Nunca fue mi intención” to acknowledge the mistake.
  • Her apology came during the first Buenos Aires show on Saturday and was followed by a prolonged ovation from roughly 15,000 attendees as the concert continued with no major interruption.
  • Organizers invited Argentine guest Ángela Torres for the tour’s 'Confesionario' segment to strengthen local ties, though some fans still returned or resold tickets and venue rules reportedly limited flags and jerseys at entry.
  • The episode highlights how a single repost can create cross‑border reputational risk for touring artists and suggests promoters will keep tighter operational controls as the LUX Tour moves on to Brazil.
