Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Ayra Starr delivered a memorable performance on Sunday night at Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres tour stop at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida.

The Grammy-nominated star joined the iconic British band as a special guest midway through the concert, captivating the crowd with her vibrant energy and vocals. She performed their collaborative track Good Feelings as well as her latest single Hot Body alongside Coldplay’s frontman, Chris Martin.

The night became even more electric when global football legend Lionel Messi and his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, were spotted in the audience. Their appearance was projected onto the stadium screens, drawing loud cheers and applause from fans.

Clearly thrilled by the experience, Ayra Starr took to social media shortly after the show to express her excitement. “I just performed Hot Body on stage with Coldplay!! And Messi was in the audience,” she wrote.

The surprise performance not only highlighted Ayra Starr’s rising global profile but also marked a significant moment in the crossover between Afrobeats and mainstream international music.
