Rosalía Swaps Stage Wine for Tequila and Belts Bad Bunny Hit in Mexico
The Spanish superstar traded her usual concert drink for a shot of tequila before launching into an impromptu 'Safaera' sing-along in Monterrey.
By Dee AlvarezPublished Updated 2 min read
Rosalía gave her concert rituals an energetic Mexican spin during her latest world tour stop. Playing to a massive crowd at Arena Monterrey on Wednesday, August 19, the Spanish alt-pop powerhouse surprised concertgoers by ditching her usual stage drink in favor of local tequila—and sparking a stadium-wide sing-along in the process. Fans attending the singer's current *Lux* tour know that her setlist features a distinct nightly routine. Right before launching into her track "Sauvignon Blanc," the star typically takes a moment at her grand piano to sip a glass of white wine. But while performing in Mexico, she decided to ditch the grape and embrace the spirit of her host country.

Sitting at her piano, Rosalía grabbed a bottle of tequila and poured herself a full shot. As she prepared the drink, she began singing the iconic opening vocals to Bad Bunny’s 2020 smash hit "Safaera" a cappella. The Monterrey audience caught on instantly, roaring the lyrics back at her before she finished her drink and moved forward with her scheduled set. The viral crowd moment highlighted the deep artistic connection between the two Spanish-language superstars. Rosalía and Bad Bunny previously teamed up on the duet "La Noche De Anoche," which appeared on his late-2020 record *El Último Tour Del Mundo*.
Did Rosalía perform with Bad Bunny?
While Bad Bunny was not physically present at the Monterrey gig, his music continues to dominate global stages. "Safaera"—originally released on his blockbuster 2020 album *YHLQMDLG* alongside Puerto Rican artists Jowell & Randy and Ñengo Flow—remains one of his signature anthems. He even featured the track earlier this year during his headline-making Super Bowl Halftime show performance. Rosalía’s impromptu homage proved once again that she knows exactly how to command a stadium crowd. By swapping her trusty glass of wine for tequila and channeling San Benito's signature reggaeton energy, she handed her Mexican fans one of the most memorable unscripted highlights of her tour so far.
