La Cartuja Stadium was buzzing this Saturday, June 6, with the Spanish kickoff of Alejandro Sanz’s highly anticipated “¿Y ahora qué?” tour. However, beyond the ovation for his anthems, what’s causing a stir on social media is the playful jab the Madrid-born singer took at one of today’s biggest stars: Bad Bunny.
The thing is, he didn’t even need to mention him for everyone to get the joke: Alejandro Sanz set up a fair booth at his concert in Seville.
A fair booth against Bad Bunny’s controversial “Casita”
To understand the context, you have to take a look at what’s happening at the Metropolitano in Madrid.
There, Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny has been holding his concerts with a central feature: “La Casita, “ a VIP area in the middle of the stage filled with influencers, familiar faces, and a strictly selected audience that has sparked quite a bit of backlash and criticism of elitism on social media.
Alejandro Sanz’s response in Seville? Setting up his own fair booth right in the middle of the La Cartuja stage.
The nod to our most international festival already had everyone snapping photos, but the highlight came when the artist blurted out the line of the night:
The zinger, quickly picked up by the audience and media outlets, had thousands of fans in stitches.
Of course, with his characteristic flair, Alejandro’s booth had a “trick”: it wasn’t meant to house VIPs striking poses, but was reserved exclusively to hide the technical crew.

It’s worth noting that the night wasn’t just about the controversial “caseta.” The concert left us with images that will remain etched in the city’s memory.
With the stadium in darkness, thousands of flashlights turned La Cartuja into a starry sky as the crowd sang at the top of their lungs , “¿Y si fuera ella?”
Plus, one of the most emotional moments of the evening happened when a fan proposed to his partner right in the middle of the live show. The icing on the cake? The bride excitedly revealed that her daughter is named Alejandra in honor of—you guessed it—the singer. After the concert, Alejandro Sanz shared on social media that:
The ¿Y ahora qué? tour continues on to Gijón on June 12 and will arrive in Madrid on the 20th… just when Bad Bunny has already taken down his “casita.”
