After the post, Anitta appeared in stories and spoke for the first time about the new position she will hold next year. In her message, she shared reflections on spirituality and ancestry, saying that looking at roots is understanding that the future can be a reunion.

The singer continued explaining that going back home, to one's country, can be the path to being who one was really born to be. She declared that she loves her roots, her culture, and her faith, reinforcing the importance of reclaiming one's own truth.

Anitta finished in a relaxed manner, commenting that people probably thought she was talking about her album "Equilibrium," which also addresses themes about returning to origins. The artist joked about the situation, saying she could talk about the album too.

On the street, in the rain, in the City of Rock: relive editions of Rock in Rio marked by shows under storms

Rock in Rio has since its first edition in 1985 the mystique of being held under rain, with iconic images of the mud that remained in the collective memory, as well as the chorus of "Love of My Life" with Queen and the bloodied face of Bruce Dickinson after hitting his guitar on his forehead. In the 2026 edition, after a first day of sun, the rain returned to the City of Rock on Saturday (5), with forecasts of continuation on Monday (7) and probably next weekend. Fans of Sepultura, Black Pantera, Machine Gun Kelly, Bad Omens and Bring Me the Horizon have already gotten into the more "roots" vibe of the festival, with pogo circles under rain ponchos.
