Gloria Trevi and Jacqie Rivera paid tribute to Jenni Rivera during a performance at Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City, Billboard reported in a music report published June 21, 2026. The segment centered on the song ‘Un Abrazo,’ staged as part of a public tribute honoring Rivera’s legacy.

In the Billboard account, Trevi said she wanted to introduce the audience to a young woman who “sings beautifully,” describing her as the daughter of a “dear friend” whose place in Trevi’s life she said remains “close to my heart and soul.” Trevi’s remarks were presented as the framing for the tribute appearance, leading into the performance associated with ‘Un Abrazo.’

Billboard’s report also highlighted Jacqie Rivera’s participation in the moment, tying both artists to the tribute theme and to the specific song selection. The coverage did not detail the full stage order, rehearsal process, or whether other songs were included beyond the ‘Un Abrazo’ segment.

The report characterizes the event as a watch-and-listen cultural moment rather than a formal awards ceremony, with the focus on live audience presentation at Auditorio Nacional. Billboard did not provide pricing information, attendance figures, or ticketing details in the published excerpt.

As of the publication of Billboard’s report, additional specifics such as the identity of the young performer, whether the tribute included spoken statements from other participants, and any plans for subsequent televised or recorded release were not included in the information provided.

The next visible step for audiences is to watch for further documentation of the performance, including whether the ‘Un Abrazo’ tribute segment is later shared by the artists or covered by other outlets with additional context about who the young singer was and how the tribute was incorporated into the broader program at Auditorio Nacional.

Why It Matters

  • The performance at a major national venue, Auditorio Nacional, puts a high-profile public spotlight on a family-linked musical tribute and on cross-generational participation.
  • Song selection and onstage remarks can shape how audiences understand legacy acts, particularly when the tribute is framed through a personal introduction.
  • Public tributes like this often increase short-term media attention and can drive follow-on demand for recordings, clips, and related catalog listening, affecting music distribution channels.
  • Because the reported excerpt does not include full programming details, further reporting or official posts may be needed for audiences seeking complete context about participants and staging.
