Pabllo Vittar took the stage with Madonna and her dancers during rehearsal, on Thursday night, 2, for the Queen of Pop’s show on Copacabana Beach, in Rio de Janeiro, which is expected to bring together around 1.5 million people on Saturday the 4th.
The drag queen demonstrated rapport with Madonna, even hugging and carrying the singer on her lap. The two, in fact, already knew each other. Pabllo and Madonna were present at a party at Luciano Huck’s house, in the capital of Rio de Janeiro, in 2017. They were introduced through Luciano Huck and did not have a long conversation, but it was enough to impact Pabllo.
At the time, Madonna’s manager, Guy Oseary, was celebrating her wedding with Brazilian Michele Alves at Huck’s house. The wedding brought together several international celebrities such as Diplo, Ashton Kutcher, Matthew McConaughey, Noel Gallagher, Bono Vox, from U2between others.

This Thursday, funk singer Anitta also confirmed her presence at the show. In an interview with the North American channel Extra TV!, the Brazilian said that she stopped going to the Met Gala to go on stage with Madonna. She and the queen of pop have a song together, Faz Gostoso.
