<p>There’s never been any question that Rosalía is blessed, but what the groundbreaking Spanish artist has been able to do with her latest “Lux” album and tour over the past eight months is nothing short of a miracle.</p><p>Released last November, the star’s fourth album is her magnum opus that transcends geographical and musical borders. Already a global hit on four continents, it’s written in 13 languages and encompasses classical, baroque rock, Latin pop and opera while exploring faith, spirituality and what separates human existence from the divine.</p><p>But as the tour stopped by United Center Saturday night, even the hundreds of devout fans symbolically dressed as priests and peasants may not have been quite prepared for the spiritual awakening that was about to unfold.</p><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center> <div class="Enhancement-item" data-crop=""> <figure class="Figure"><a class="AnchorLink" id="image-510000" name="image-510000"></a> <picture data-crop="medium"> <source type="image/webp" width="490" height="275" data-srcset="https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/dc72124/2147483647/strip/true/crop/8184x4593+0+427/resize/490x275!/format/webp/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fdc%2F1a%2Fe53d09e24e088b3b1e2988d39b54%2Frosalia-061626-0186.jpg 1x,https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/d2d0d0b/2147483647/strip/true/crop/8184x4593+0+427/resize/980x550!/format/webp/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fdc%2F1a%2Fe53d09e24e088b3b1e2988d39b54%2Frosalia-061626-0186.jpg 2x" data-lazy-load="true" srcset="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIyNzVweCIgd2lkdGg9IjQ5MHB4Ij48L3N2Zz4=" /> <source width="490" height="275" data-srcset="https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/e3b2440/2147483647/strip/true/crop/8184x4593+0+427/resize/490x275!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fdc%2F1a%2Fe53d09e24e088b3b1e2988d39b54%2Frosalia-061626-0186.jpg" data-lazy-load="true" srcset="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIyNzVweCIgd2lkdGg9IjQ5MHB4Ij48L3N2Zz4=" /> <img class="Image" alt="Rosalía performs Tuesday, June 16, 2026 at Madison Square Garden as part of her “Lux” tour." srcset="https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/e3b2440/2147483647/strip/true/crop/8184x4593+0+427/resize/490x275!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fdc%2F1a%2Fe53d09e24e088b3b1e2988d39b54%2Frosalia-061626-0186.jpg 1x,https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/5c157b4/2147483647/strip/true/crop/8184x4593+0+427/resize/980x550!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fdc%2F1a%2Fe53d09e24e088b3b1e2988d39b54%2Frosalia-061626-0186.jpg 2x" width="490" height="275" data-src="https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/e3b2440/2147483647/strip/true/crop/8184x4593+0+427/resize/490x275!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fdc%2F1a%2Fe53d09e24e088b3b1e2988d39b54%2Frosalia-061626-0186.jpg" data-lazy-load="true" src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIyNzVweCIgd2lkdGg9IjQ5MHB4Ij48L3N2Zz4=" > </picture> <div class="Figure-content"><figcaption class="Figure-caption"><p>Rosalía performs at Madison Square Garden on an earlier stop on her “Lux” tour.</p></figcaption><span class="line"></span><div class="Figure-credit"><p>Rich Fury</p></div></div> </figure> </div> </div><p>The two-hour spectacle — broken into four acts, with the U.K.-based Heritage Orchestra and complex choreography adding extra pomp — took viewers on a pious journey from birth to death with mortal temptations and much-publicized confessions along the way. In so doing, it dissected religion as a layered art piece that even Ye’s Sunday Service, Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” shtick or Lady Gaga’s “Judas” iconography hasn’t come close to.</p><p>While many pop stars have used Catholicism as a prop, Rosalía treated it with reverence, transforming the show into a multifaceted ritual: God as the utmost deity (her Italian opera “Mio Cristo Piange Diamanti”) and an intrusive omnipresence ("Dios Es un Stalker" aka “God is a stalker”) while imbuing stories of numerous feminine saints that aren’t always the center of the conversation.</p><p><b></b> Surprisingly, the Catholic Church has given Rosalía their blessing with vocal support of “Lux,” despite some of the controversy.
