The gate opened to the outside, we had to turn back and then try to enter. the corner and my right arm was on the railing of the door. The other part of the body passed as people pushed me and pressed me against the railing. I managed to pass later, but I got injured, ”he says.

After realizing she wouldn’t be able to get the railing anymore, she was afraid to go to the hospital, where a broken arm was identified, and not make it back in time for the show.

I was very sad because I arrived at dawn to be on the grid because I am small and wanted to see Justin. I couldn’t believe it was raining, I faced a line to avoid being on the grid.

So, I saw in Justin a way to be happier, listening to his songs and seeing his interviews. I really like him a lot. It’s very important. When I went to the first show, in 2017, I was far away, in the stands”, he says.
