Talk about a match made in heaven! Swedish songstress Robyn brought her highly anticipated 'Sexistential' tour to Dublin's 3Arena last night, and what an opening salvo it was – complete with a surprise special guest that left the sold-out crowd going wild. CMAT, aka Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, joined forces with Robyn for a show-stopping rendition of her chart-topping hit 'Call Your Girlfriend' during the encore.
The electrifying collaboration quickly went viral on social media, with fans sharing their own footage of the unforgettable moment. CMAT was still buzzing from the experience when she took to Twitter to express her exhilaration, quipping: "When I die, scatter my ashes in the crowd at a Robyn gig in the 3Arena – that was the most fun I've ever had!" It's clear this Dublin darling holds Robyn in high esteem!
The Swedish superstar delivered an epic setlist featuring no less than 19 tracks, ranging from her latest album 'Sexistential' to beloved classics like 'Missing U', which kicked off the encore. And just when you thought it couldn't get any better – in walked CMAT for a rousing performance of the 2010 hit single 'Body Talk'. Robyn wrapped up the night with 'Dancing On My Own', an anthem that defined the decade.
The 'Sexistential' tour is now geared up to take on the UK and Ireland, with Glasgow next on the list, followed by Manchester's Co-op Live and a London show at The O2 on July 3. After wrapping up the European leg, Robyn will head Stateside in September before touching down Down Under later this year.
CMAT, meanwhile, is on fire – fresh from headlining Dublin's St Anne's Park last month, she recently brought her unique blend of pop and folk to TRNSMT in Glasgow. Her summer schedule is packed with festival appearances at the likes of Spain's Mad Cool and Bilbao BBK Live, while her latest album 'Euro-Country' earned a Mercury Prize shortlist nod last year.
With Robyn and CMAT sharing a mutual admiration for each other's music, this impromptu partnership has sent shockwaves of excitement through the pop world – just think of the unforgettable memories it created for fans in attendance!
