In an atmosphere of unity and celebration, the artist welcomed the year 2024 with a wish for health, love, peace, joy, prosperity and faith and thrilled the audience with a show full of hits from her 30year career.

The Bahian invited the little model and children's blogger Daniel Alves, 7 years old, (@danalves_levi) to dance for the second time on the main stage of the New Year's Eve party, singing “Macetando”, a carnival bet in collaboration with Ludmilla.

The little one said he already dances a lot at home. “See, I thought 'Macetando' would be a hit… but now I'm absolutely sure! Thank you, see, my love? (…) You are the most beautiful thing in this world.” Ivete invited Daniel’s parents to watch his show from the stage with the boy. “We already have a star for 2024,” said Ivete and hugged the little one. Then she asked his name and learned that the blogger is her husband's namesake. “Daniel, his name is Daniel. Do you want to fall in love with me immediately?! “You are beautiful, Dani,” praised the singer.
