During a concert at the Gran Canaria Stadium in Spain, Emilia Mernes and Enrique Iglesias shared the stage to perform "Héroe," one of the most iconic Spanish-language hits. However, the moment made headlines not because of the music, but due to an awkward situation that was captured on video.
In the middle of the performance, Iglesias approached the Argentine singer and tried to kiss her on the mouth. However, Mernes turned her face away and the greeting ended on her cheek. The scene went viral on social media and sparked all kinds of reactions among users who interpreted the gesture as a clear boundary set by Emilia.
