anita seems to have got the fear under control. There is no trace of tension, although he is on the eve of one of the most important moments of his career so far. On February 5th she will be able to take her first home with her grammy. The Breakthrough Artist nomination came after the success of “To involve‘, which topped the global Spotify charts and was also voted Best Latin Clip Video Music Awards.
“I’m very calm because I think it’s great that I was nominated. For me, this recognition is very gratifying,” says the singer in an exclusive interview quality assurance.
The Grammy nomination moved Anitta in a way that’s a hurricane on stage. Warming up for Carnival, the Carioca de Honório Gurgel has already toured Salvador and Rio de Janeiro with her block rehearsal, where she will play another show on the 29th of this month. This weekend it will be in Jurerê and São Paulo. Brasilia, Recife and Curitiba are also on the itinerary. In every presentation, a look inspired by a strong female character. She was already Tieta from the literature of Jorge Amado and Marietta Baderna, a Brazilianbased Italian dancer who challenged 19thcentury conservatism for her sexually free behavior. More Anitta, impossible.
“I came up with this idea and suggested the names of women that I consider to be great warriors in our history. My team takes care of the rest, which means a huge amount of months of work with a lot of research, creation and production of the costumes. My stylist Clara Lima is the creative director while Michelly X executes the pieces. Clothes don’t necessarily have to be sexy, but they have to be like me and functional in terms of movement and efficient in terms of message,” he says.
With the diagnosis of the EBV virus, which can cause multiple sclerosis, Anitta reconsidered her processes and work intensity. He even reevaluated retirement. In several interviews, she made it clear that she wanted to retire at 30, which will happen in March. “I’m not going to stop now. In the last few years I’ve tried to slow down a bit, to escape the madness a bit. But leaving the stage is not in my immediate plans.”
With more than 63 million followers on Instagram, Anitta is a hurricane without proportions that can mobilize an entire country in its path. Everything she does makes headlines. And she knows it. “I think the general interest in my private life is a consequence of the fact that I’m a public figure. I was annoyed at the beginning, today I don’t see much anymore,” he comments.
Intimate tattoos, novels, political positions… Nothing goes unnoticed, whether in the eyes of fans or haters. Everyone wants a piece of Anitta, who was the target of attacks when she assumed she belonged with Candomblé. Whenever he appears in the traditional clothing of his religion, he becomes a victim of intolerance on social media. “It’s sad, isn’t it? I try not to absorb this hatred. It says more about who is funding. I prefer not to see it.”
