In a recent interview with g1, actress Paolla Oliveira shared her thoughts on returning to the Sapucaí for the Carnival celebrations, this time not as the queen of the Grande Rio bateria. Oliveira expressed her deep affection for the Grande Rio community and highlighted the importance of viewing Carnival from different angles, pointing out that it transcends titles and hierarchies. She emphasized her continued love for the community that embraced her, stating, 'I will always be part of Grande Rio.'

Paolla shared the joy she finds in participating in Carnival as a spectator rather than a participant in a royal capacity. She noted that this new perspective allows her to appreciate the festivities differently and enjoy the street Carnival. Oliveira reminisced about her experiences in Salvador, underlining her newfound enjoyment of Carnival and the freedom of being part of the vibrant atmosphere without the responsibilities of her former title.

Finally, she reassured her fans that her choice to step back from the role of bateria queen was empowering, describing it as a transition rather than a loss. Paolla remains supportive of Grande Rio and is excited to cheer for them during the upcoming events, reinforcing that her love for Carnival and the community remains steadfast. This year represents a new chapter for her, reinforcing the idea that enjoying Carnival is about the experience rather than the status one holds within it.
