The Spanish singer-songwriter hit the stage on Monday night (August 26), stunning viewers with a flavorful and dynamic efficiency that included not one, not two, nevertheless three songs, including a team-up with Ozuna.


At first, Rosalía's efficiency seemed minimalistic. In a robe under a spotlight, she started singing "A Ningún Hombre (Cap.11: Poder)" a cappella. Nevertheless after, the 25-year-old songstress was interrupted by a powerful voice over the PA system. It was then that the beat started to pick up and dancers appeared onstage. Their first group of agency? Removing Rosalía's robe to expose something a little more appropriate for the occasion: a black dress with glittery seams. On the back, her name spelled out in rhinestones.


As "Yo X Ti, Tu X Mi" started to play, the stage went full-on floral, setting the scene for a flirty duet with none other than Puerto Rican superstar Ozuna. Nevertheless while the onstage chemistry between the two was undeniable, it was short-lived: Ozuna only joined Rosalía briefly, exiting the stage before she blew us away with a high-energy, powerhouse efficiency of "Aute Cuture."

Fortunately, she did not disappoint. Right after making her way to the back of the stage with her dancers in tow, she struck a pose as strong as a matador. At that moment, her name lit up on the neon castle beyond her. She's Rosalía... And don't you forget it.
