Rosalía: Spanish superstar reaches for heaven (and brings on Lola Young) as her tour hits London

Halfway through the show, she appeared as Mona Lisa, singing Frankie Valli’s Can’t Take My Eyes Off You to a dozen fans who’d been invited onto the stage.

Then she brought out pop star Lola Young, inviting her into a confessional booth with the hope of eliciting a dark secret.

The English singer obliged with a story about her ex-boyfriend whose phone went off during the middle of a particularly athletic bedroom session.

Rather than shut it off, he left the room and took the call. But unbeknownst to him, his handset was still connected to the Bluetooth speaker.

“And I heard his wife asking him to bring back nappies for his kids.”

“What did you do?” asked Rosalía, stunned.

“I lost the plot,” Young admitted. “And then I thought, ‘I’ll go back to [dating] women.”

Rosalía used this as a perfect segue into her song La Perla, supposedly about her former fiancé Rauw Alejandro – with lyrics about a “terrorista emocional” whose proudest achievement is his collection of bras.

During the song, her dancers covered her with white gloved hands, transforming her into the Venus De Milo, then a bride, and eventually an angel.
