Paula Koops closes tour in Madrid with a concert where Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo were present

Music news

Despite the fact that its most powerful audience is barely over 20 years old, there is no doubt that Paula Koops is a girl from the 90s. The same choreography is prepared in the style of a high school cheerleader, who sings You belong with I without breaking a sweat or says goodbye to the stage, leaving her fans with Hannah Montana’s headlining. Paula Koops has been a discovery of 2023, and her effect was captured last night at La Riviera in Madrid with a packed house and attendees of all ages.

The younger girls were impatiently waiting for the singer to come out on stage. I would dare to say that some of them were going to experience their first concert, although if you looked around a little you could see families, couples, groups of friends… Literally a concert for all audiences. The show started around 8:00 p.m. with fool and the performance of the four dancers of Paula Koops, to continue singing about toxic relationships with Boys don’t cryhis two most recent songs.

The first surprise of the night appeared very soon. Considering that we were expecting seven guests, we couldn’t expect anything less. Noan appeared on stage to make the audience jump with I hate that I love you, the theme they have in common. And she did not disappoint.

Before witnessing what would possibly be the most anticipated moment of the night – after Boyfriend of the Year, of course – Paula sang I always forgot you. Thus, she herself assured hours before that she really wanted to sing Three years without seeing youand there was no doubt why: Denna, who could be crowned as the OT2023 contestant who is collaborating the most since leaving the academy, accompanied her during the performance of this slow song.

“I don’t want to waste a second of tonight because you are the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me”, said Paula Koops, excited by everything she was experiencing. She so she presented Timea song dedicated to those people who are no longer here and who will never return to your life.

Snow accompanied the protagonist in the next song, leaving Koops’ repertoire, together they sang Colorado 2.0, the song he has with Chema Rivas and Mar Lucas. Then it was Mantra whom the Madrid native invited to the stage to sing their song together: More Than My Crush, minutes before presenting their new song.

None of his songs were missing from his setlist: Magic in chaos, Why do I love you again?, that for me you are not, Hey, goodbye and Half (although Miki Nuñez was missed). Not even his fans singing and jumping in each one of them.

Centennial friends and references

If there is one thing that stands out about Paula Koops, all the people around her are: his capacity for effort and professional dedication. Everyone agrees: she works like no other. That is why, perhaps, no one would want to miss the end of the tour. Not even the seven artists – groups and soloists – who wanted to experience this special moment with her on stage (counting: Noan, Denna, Neva, Mantra, Meler, Charly USG and Candela GĂłmez).

The three members of Meler They came out to sing their single with the Madrid woman NONE1while Charly USG made the stage his own by performing together I do not care. And, speaking of other artists, Paula Koops had two great moments with which she was left with the affection of all these people – like the one she says – because she suddenly started singing You Belong With Me of Taylor Swift. Daring to cover the queen herself is not something that everyone does, but she dares to do everything and her fans seemed to agree because they sang it as part of her repertoire, (nothing less was expected, a public swiftie). Although it didn’t stop there because he also surprised everyone with Good 4 U by Olivia Rodrigo, causing the same effect.

The most anticipated moment of the night came when the lights went out. “Another one?” asked the singer on the screen with red neon lights. Obvious. Her crown jewel was missing. And at that moment, she rang boyfriend of the year and Line 7the two songs with which this closed Show only one that all attendees will remember forever.

Three look changes, four dancers, one band. No one was missing on the night of Sunday, February 25, at La Riviera in Madrid. It could be said that there was no room for anyone else.
