Anitta just revealed that she's sitting out this year's Coachella event.
The singer, who was previously scheduled to appear at the music festival in April, took to X on March 20 to announce that she's had to cancel her performance.
"I was really looking forward to being at Coachella this year, but due to unexpected personal reasons, I won’t be able to perform. I’m truly grateful to the festival for the invitation, their understanding, and continued support," she wrote on X.
The Brazilian singer continued her message in a second post, sharing an encouraging message for her fans.
"I hope to have the opportunity to join you all in the future and share that special moment together," she wrote.
Anitta did not elaborate on the reason behind her canceled appearance. However, her fans shared their support for her in the comments section.
"We are so sad about it, but we understand how committed you are with your concerts and how much it takes for making this decision," one wrote.
The news was bittersweet for many fans who had been looking forward to the performance.
"You are the reason I was going," one X user wrote. "I loved your 2022 set but I hope everything is ok and I’ll see you next time."
Anitta recently appeared on TODAY with Jenna & Friends to speak about her new Netflix documentary, “Larissa: The Other Side of Anitta.”
During the interview, Anitta clarified that Larissa is her real name while Anitta is her stage name. When asked about the difference between the two, she said, "I think me as Larissa, I'm very shy. People don't believe (me). I mean, after watching the documentary, they understand. I think I'm more shy, more insecure, afraid of things. And as Anitta when I'm onstage, when I'm in interviews and everything, I'm so confident. It's like the protection."
Anitta said it was "very hard" to show a more vulnerable side of herself in the documentary. However, she was motivated to show her fans that everyone struggles with hard times.
"When I was poor and I had nothing, when I was from the ghetto, the slums of Brazil, I thought that, 'OK, if I'm rich, if I'm famous, I'm going to be happy. I'm going to feel everything that I need.' And that's not it. If we're not deep inside fulfilled and don't work on this emptiness and deal with it, there's no fame, no money that's going to help us to get there," she said.
