Anitta performing on any stage is enough of a celebration, but on Saturday (March 30), it was double the celebration at the 2024 Tecate Pa’l Norte festival in Monterrey, Nuevo León.

The Brazilian star was celebrating her 31st birthday and, as is Mexican tradition, she was honored with “Las Mañanitas” (the birthday song) by a mariachi — and it came by the way of Mexican superstar Peso Pluma, who surprised her not only by having a mariachi in tow, but a big booty-shaped birthday cake. It was totally unexpected, and the “Envolver” singer was in disbelief when the man in all black carrying the cake onstage was Peso Pluma, who revealed his identity by taking off his balaclava mask. The crowd roared when they realized it was the corridos singer.

“Let’s hear it loud for Anitta. Today is the birthday of the queen of Brazil, the queen of Brazilian funk, and she is in Mexico for the first time with us,” Peso Pluma said in Spanish onstage. “Look at that cake,” Anitta responded. Anitta and Peso Pluma later shared a sweet and innocent kiss on the mouth after the fans chanted, “Beso, beso, beso” (kiss, kiss, kiss). Watch the moment here.

Although the crowd was hoping that the pair would sing their hit song “Bellakeo” together, Peso Pluma left the stage after the “Mañanitas” and birthday cake surprise. She did sing the song, though alone. Throughout her set, she twerked and performed other hits like “Envolver,” “Mil Veces” and “Funk Rave.”

Day two of the festival featured other sets by artists like Gabito Ballesteros, Danna Paola, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Louis Tomlinson and Blink-182, who was in charge of closing the main stage.
