Emilia<\/a> is the new global sensation of Argentine pop, and her successful stop in Mexico confirms the rapid rise of her popularity. In less than a year, the singer-songwriter went from performing in mid-sized theaters to conquering major venues like the iconic Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City. On Sunday (Aug. 31), she took the stage there to close the Latin American leg of her Emilia Tour 2025.<\/p>\n More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Her show at the so-called \u201cColoso de Reforma\u201d turned into an electrifying evening full of dance, sparkle and glamour. It was a moment of deep and special connection between the performer and the 8,500 attendees, according to figures from OCESA, the majority of whom were women in their 20s. Some even went the extra mile by mimicking her outfits with shiny clothing, hats, and boots.<\/p>\n The urban pop of the artist born in Nogoy\u00e1, Argentina, filled the venue on the touristy Avenida Paseo de la Reforma with songs like \u201cExclusive.mp3,\u201d \u201cIConic.mp3,\u201d \u201cFacts.mp3,\u201d \u201ccuatro veinte,\u201d \u201cJagger.mp3,\u201d \u201cJet_Set.mp3,\u201d \u201cOjitos_Verdes.mp3\u201d and \u201cMi otra mitad.\u201d These tracks had the loving audience dancing and singing along, making Emilia feel right at home.<\/p>\n The show transitioned from the energy of her most popular pop songs to heartfelt ballads and emotional personal moments that brought the singer to the verge of tears. It then erupted into a lively dance sequence with the rhythm of cumbia, paying tribute to her roots.<\/p>\n Emilia\u2019s tour continues in L.A. with two consecutive concerts at The Wiltern theater on Wednesday and Thursday (Sep. 3-4), and concludes in New York this weekend with two shows at the Brooklyn Paramount on Saturday and Sunday (Sep. 6-7).<\/p>\n Here are five standout moments from Emilia\u2019s debut on Aug. 31 at the Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City.<\/p>\n The cumbia fervor among Mexicans and Argentines was sealed with the performance of \u201cPerdonarte, \u00bfPara Qu\u00e9?\u201d (meaning \u201cForgive You, What For?\u201d) \u2014 her collaboration with Los \u00c1ngeles Azules \u2014 which got everyone dancing and sparked a massive singalong.<\/p>\n Emilia\u2019s connection with her fans is very authentic and honest. She knows this and honors it by allowing herself to be pampered with every gesture, word, gift and detail they offer her. During the evening, she received several gifts, including a small doll knitted with yarn and a white sweatshirt with a picture of her dog Roma and the word \u201cPrincesses,\u201d which she wore to sing \u201cGuerrero.\u201d<\/p>\n From the start of the show, the audience was immersed in a party dedicated to the vibe of the 2000s, with video games, computer animations and costumes that included glitter, silver mini-shorts, platform shoes and colorful makeup. Emilia wore different outfits throughout the night, and in one segment she invited a group of fans who imitated her with some of her looks onto the stage.<\/p>\n One of the most emotional moments of the night came with \u201cGuerrero\u201d (meaning \u201cWarrior\u201d), the last track on her 2023 album .MP3<\/em>. It\u2019s a song she wrote in honor of her father, Pedro Mernes, who fought a tough battle against cancer. \u201cIt\u2019s so hard for me, and I hope this song can embrace all the people who are going through a battle,\u201d she said, visibly moved. \u201cA big hug to all the warriors, I love you.\u201d<\/p>\n Emilia did not hide her excitement about her debut at the Auditorio Nacional, one of the most important venues in Latin America. \u201cIt\u2019s so amazing to be here, seriously, I still can\u2019t believe it! Look how far you\u2019ve brought me, to theAuditorio Nacional!,\u201d said the Argentine singer. \u201cThank you so much, it\u2019s a dream come true, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much.\u201d The audience responded with shouts of support: \u201cYes, we did it, yes, we did it!\u201d<\/p>\n The singer admitted that it might take her days or months to digest what happened that night on that legendary stage. In those moments of honesty where she opened her heart to her fans, Emilia said that \u201cLa Balada,\u201d a song from her 2022 debut album \u00bfT\u00fa Crees En M\u00ed?<\/em>, was very important to her and asked them to accompany her with the light from their cell phones.<\/p>\n \u201cI wrote this song for someone who tried to make me believe that I would never achieve anything, and I almost believed them,\u201d the artist explained.<\/p>\n Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Billboard’s Newsletter<\/a>.
