What seemed like a quiet and very careful interview ended up becoming one of the most commented moments in networks. Rosalía starred in an unexpected scene in Rio de Janeiro when, during an outdoor recording, she ran scared when she saw a cockroach appear on the set.
The episode was caught on camera and the clip went viral almost immediately, multiplying on different platforms due to the spontaneity of his reaction.
The interview took place in a place with an unmistakable postcard: at the foot of Christ the Redeemer, one of the most recognizable symbols of Brazil and a regular spot for special recordings.
That scenario, which gave an elegant and “event” aesthetic, contrasted with what happened when the insect appeared and completely broke the rhythm of the conversation.
The meeting was part of the promotion of “Lux” (also stylized as “LUX”), the album Rosalía was pushing in her media schedule.
The exact moment of Rosalia’s scare: scream, jump and retreat.
The cameras recorded the instant Rosalia spotted the cockroach. Her reaction was immediate: she lifted her feet suddenly, let out a scream and jumped backwards to move away, while exclaiming in alarm that there was “a bug”. Afterwards, still nervous, she repeated scary phrases, making it clear that the scare was real and not an act for the camera.
The situation was handled with a light tone because the journalist who was interviewing her also reacted with laughter and tried to lower the tension with humor. That detail helped the incident not to feel uncomfortable, but as a spontaneous scene within an interview that should be kept friendly and promotional.
After walking away for a few seconds, Rosalía returned to continue with the interview and offered a simple and direct justification: she admitted that she is afraid of insects. According to the chronicle, the singer explicitly said that she is “very afraid of bugs”, and apologized before resuming the thread of the conversation.
The clip spread quickly and generated a wave of comments. Many people reacted with empathy (“I would have done the same”), while others took it as perfect material for memes and jokes about the fear of cockroaches. The contrast between a super interview production – with an iconic monument behind it – and such an everyday scare was part of what made the scene so shareable.
Although the insect stole the spotlight for a few minutes, the interview was intended to talk about Lux and Rosalía’s professional moment. In these days, in addition, there has been information about her Lux Tour 2026, a tour announced to accompany the release of the album and that has generated high demand in pre-sales.
Here is the video of Rosalia’s moment of being scared by the cockroach.
