Mon Laferte Joins Rosalía's LUX Tour Confessional in Mexico City: "I Am the Pearl"
Mon Laferte stepped into Rosalía's "confessional" on Monday, Aug. 24, 2026, during the second of five nights at the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City, turning a segment of the LUX Tour into a candid exchange about love, betrayal, and the songs born from both.
The Chilean singer, currently on tour with her album Femme Fatale, appeared in the confessional dressed in a pink corset and a fuchsia long skirt. The segment — a recurring feature of the LUX Tour in which Rosalía invites a guest to speak openly before the audience — has become one of the show's most talked-about pieces. On the first Mexico City night, Saturday, Aug. 22, 2026, Mexican pop singer Kenia Os had taken the same seat. In earlier tour stops at Guadalajara and Monterrey, Rosalía was joined by Yeri Mua and content creators its.michhh (Michel Álvarez) and Samy Rivers, as Billboard reported.
Laferte used the platform to speak plainly. She told the audience she had been deceived by ex-partners and been a victim of lies and betrayal. She said she is often called "intense" or "dramatic." Rosalía's reply was quick: Laferte is merely driven by "passion."
Laferte went further, stating that "no one knows how to love" like she does, and that she has loved deeply many people — even several at the same time. Rosalía responded with a line that drew cheers: Laferte's only crime, she said, was dedicating "songs that are way too good to men who are way too dumb."
The exchange circled back to Rosalía's song "La Perla," in which a "pearl" refers to a dishonest person who cannot be trusted. Rosalía posed the question to her guest: "Could it be that you're thinking, and if the pearl is me?" — playing on the song's title. Laferte closed her appearance with a declaration: "La Perla soy yo" — "I am the pearl" — as El Diario de Coahuila reported.
The moment inverted the song's meaning: the pearl, a figure of distrust in the original lyric, became a badge Laferte claimed for herself.
Rosalía was scheduled to continue her Mexico City run on Aug. 26, 28, and 29, 2026, with two nights already completed at the 22,000-capacity arena. The LUX Tour has made the confessional segment a fixture rather than a one-off, giving each stop a guest appearance that reads differently depending on who sits in the chair. Laferte's turn brought an artist mid-tour of her own into another artist's show, blurring the line between headliner and guest in a way that fits the segment's open format.
For fans, the appeal is straightforward: no two confessional segments are the same, and the guests so far have ranged from pop singers to social-media creators. The Mexico City run still has three nights to go.
