The singer has been inviting stars, from Lola Young to Bad Gyal, to share their deepest secrets onstage before her song ‘La Perla’
Rosalía has always carved out her own lane as a pop star, and that’s especially true when it comes to her Lux world tour. Every night, the Spanish singer delivers show-stopping visuals, ballet moves, and operatic vocals. In between these elements, Rosalía has also built upon the religious imagery all over Lux with a unique idea: Each night, special guests deliver a confession to the singer in a recreated gothic confessional booth, just before she performs the biting track “La Perla.”
Since she kicked off the 57-date trek, Rosalía has invited a handful of famed stars, musicians and models alike, to unload their deepest, darkest secrets and sins related to their love lives. Here’s a list of all of the celebrity confessions, so far.

Cara Delevingne

Delevigne is never one to shy away from the truth — and she really laid out all of her romantic insecurities. “I’m a lesbian, and my weakness used to be straight women,” she admitted to the Spanish singer. “But now I’m in a committed relationship, and the thing is… I always used to love being the dominant one. I loved taking control, but I think that’s because I was scared of being seen. I was scared to be submissive because I didn’t want to receive love. But now I think I’m ready. I am ready.”
“This confession was very shocking to me. Very shocking,” Rosalía said, to which Delevigne responded: “My ring says ‘dyke’ on it, so…”

Aitana

Though the Spanish singer never named Yatra outright, the story she told Rosalía about an ex who admitted he was bound to become unfaithful after a year of dating lines up with Yatra’s own public admissions. “I decided to give it another shot, but then those statements came out,” Aitana said, which fans took as a reference to Yatra’s similar comments on a podcast.
Immediately, Rosalía connected the dots and asked Aitana, “Could it be the [singer] who pulled some marketing stunt by saying something about me?” When the Spanish singer confirmed, Rosalía added, I knew it. I have to confess something else here: he apologized to me, and I didn’t forgive him — sorry.”

Lola Young

“I was seeing someone for about four months, it was getting pretty serious,” she said. “I have to confess I thought I was falling in love. He was a bit older, like an older human being. Men seem to mature a lot less quickly.” She continued, saying that the two of them had been in bed together one night when things took a turn: “His phone rings just as he’s about to finish and he jumps up and he’s like, ‘I’ll be back in two minutes,’” she rememebered. He didn’t realize his phone was plugged in through a Bluetooth speaker as he took the call. “He goes downstairs so he’s on the phone and his wife is asking him to bring back nappies for his kids. I hear it all on the Bluetooth speaker.”
Young, who is openly bisexual, said it was all she needed to swear off men. “I lost the plot a bit,” she said. “I was like, I can’t do this, I’m back to women.’”

Guiturricadelafuente

He had a fun, slightly embarrassing story a lot a trip to Seville Santa Justa where he and a partner stayed at a rustic house on a freezing December night. He recalled that it didn’t have electricity or running water and the windows were shuttered down, which did not impress his romantic partner.
In the end, the night was so bad that he got broken up with: “He told me he needed más calle (more street).”

Kika Navazreth

In her confession, Navazreth spins a dramatic tale of inviting a woman she was into to her birthday party, where the woman fell for another one of her friends, who the soccer player once hooked up with herself. “I like to hook up,” Navazreth said.
Rosalía finally declared, “Kika, what was happening was that you liked both of them” before dedicating the break-up track to Navazreth’s love triangle.

Bad Gyal in Barcelona

Bad Gyal did not disappoint with her story. She got intensely honest and shared the memory of a guy she had been hooking up with who had the audacity to tell her she needed implants. The audience and Rosalia were shocked and the conversation took an empowering turn about how women don’t need jerks telling them what to do with their bodies.
