Melody, a rising star in Brazilian pop music, has seen her performance fees soar in anticipation of Carnival, largely driven by the immense success of her latest single, 'Jetski.' According to recent contracts, the singer's fees increased from R$ 80,000 at the end of December 2025 to R$ 250,000 by early February 2026. This dramatic rise underscores her burgeoning status in the music scene and the impact of seasonal events on artists' earnings in Brazil.

The jump in fees is not an isolated incident but rather part of a broader trend observed among Brazilian artists as Carnival approaches. A study by G1 highlighted that the average performance fees for artists have risen by approximately 27% in this peak season. For Melody, being at the forefront of the charts not only brings a remarkable financial windfall but also emphasizes the intersection of music popularity and cultural celebrations in Brazil.

The data regarding Melody’s increasing fees were sourced from the National Portal for Public Contracts (PNCP), which records government contracts for various events, including Carnival festivities organized by local municipalities. This context not only illustrates the commercial landscape of entertainment in Brazil but also the high stakes surrounding the Carnival season, which can significantly alter the financial fortunes of artists like Melody, making their status increasingly competitive and lucrative.
