Miami, FL (June 22, 2026) – Less than two weeks before what would have been Jenni Rivera’s 57th birthday, emotion swept through Mexico City’s Auditorio Nacional as her daughter, Jacqie Rivera, joined Gloria Trevi for a moving tribute to the unforgettable Diva de la Banda during the Mexican pop star’s sold-out concert this past Saturday, June 20.
In front of thousands of fans, Gloria Trevi welcomed Jacqie Rivera to the stage to perform “Un Abrazo,” creating one of the most emotional moments of the night. What followed was far more than a duet. It became a meeting point between love, memory, and loss. As the song unfolded, the audience witnessed a deeply heartfelt performance filled with emotion, tears, and memories dedicated to a woman whose passing continues to leave a profound void for millions of people.
“Un Abrazo,” one of the most moving songs from Gloria Trevi’s album El Vuelo, was written by Trevi alongside César Benítez and Marcela de la Garza from the perspective of someone confronting the immense void left by the death of a loved one. The lyrics speak to the impossible desire to embrace someone who is no longer here, to look to the sky for answers, and to learn to live with an absence that never fully goes away.
For this reason, hearing Jacqie Rivera perform the song carried a particularly profound meaning. Each verse felt like an intimate conversation with her mother; a way of expressing how deeply she is missed and loved, and how present she remains despite the passage of time. Throughout the performance, the emotion was palpable both on stage and among the audience, many of whom were unable to hold back tears.
The collaboration also carried a special meaning due to the friendship, admiration, and mutual respect that always existed between Gloria Trevi and Jenni Rivera, two women who broke barriers, overcame obstacles, and left an indelible mark on Spanish-language music. For a few moments, Jenni’s memory seemed to fill every corner of the venue, as if her spirit were accompanying her daughter and Gloria in that musical embrace that transcended time and distance.
The appearance marked one of Jacqie Rivera’s most significant performances in Mexico to date, allowing her to share her talent before thousands of people on one of the most important stages in Latin America. But beyond any professional milestone, the night became a celebration of the eternal bond between a mother and her daughter.
Quickly becoming one of the most talked-about and emotional moments of the evening, the duet left the audience with tears in their eyes and full hearts. It was a tribute to the life, legacy, and memory of Jenni Rivera, an artist whose voice was silenced too soon, but whose presence continues to shine with lasting strength.
