Anitta will be announced as the new Queen of the Drum of Grande Rio. The official disclosure will be made this Sunday, October 6, the day before a holiday. The news was published exclusively by the Retratos da Vida portal.
The official presentation to the community on the grounds of the association in Caxias, in Baixada Fluminense, will not yet take place at this time. On Saturday night, October 5, the dispute for the samba-enredos begins. Anitta is competing with a samba for the 2027 carnival, in a partnership with Arlindinho and other composers, with whom she had previously created the champion samba of Unidos da Tijuca in 2025. She chose not to participate in this elimination round precisely so as not to overshadow the promotion of her new reign.
The school will make an announcement on its social media. Anitta posed for a special carnival photoshoot just for the big announcement. The Grande Rio quad, which last year gained a backdrop and a kiosk with the cosmetics brand of former queen Virginia Fonseca, will be completely reformulated with photos of the singer.
