Pabllo Vittar walks us through her post-Pride wellness routine

Pabllo Vittar sure knows how to hype up a crowd.

No corners are cut when it comes to her slick choreography; no note is missed when she’s belting her sweaty club anthems. There are high kicks, even higher lifts and, occasionally, she might even drop into the splits. Suffice to say, the Brazilian singer and drag queen has some serious stage presence.

A perfect choice to headline Manchester Pride, then. Last weekend, the 29-year-old brought her electrifying show to the Gay Village Party in the city’s Sackville Gardens, the cherry on top of the event’s most diverse lineup yet. It’s all in a day’s work for Vittar, though: in June, in São Paulo, she also headlined the biggest Pride event in the world, affirming her status as a vital voice for the LGBTQ+ community in Brazil.

Those aren’t the only achievements Vittar’s recently ticked off her world domination to-do list. This year the singer released her fifth album Noitada and its remix counterpart After and, in 2022, she became the first ever drag queen to perform at Coachella. Oh, and don’t forget the collabs with Lady Gaga, Charli XCX and Rina Sawayama, as well as a surprise performance with Lil Nas X at Lollapalooza Brazil. You don’t work your way up the pop star ranks without making a few A‑lister friends along the way.
