The repercussion of the video happens shortly after the official announcement that Virginia will be the new drum queen of the Academic Samba School of Grande Rio, Rio de Janeiro. The influencer was chosen to replace actress Paolla Oliveira in office, and should debut at the Marquis of Sapucaí already in the 2026 parade. The appointment, however, divided opinions into social networks. While many supported the choice of the influencer’s popularity and charisma, others criticized her lack of prior involvement with the universe of samba.
During the event in Governador Valadares, Virginia showed a lot of enthusiasm, participating in the June climate and squandering sympathy. According to comments from netizens, the video shows that she has sought to approach the samba culture and can surprise in Sapucaí. Some users have stated that she “is training straight”, while others still maintain skepticism about her preparation.
