Brooklyn got a major dose of summer romance and high-energy beats when The Chainsmokers invited Love Island USA Season 7 winner Amaya Espinal onstage — and the crowd went absolutely wild.
The EDM duo — Alex Pall and Drew Taggart — were in full fanboy mode Friday night at the Under the K Bridge concert, showering Amaya with praise before calling her “the greatest woman that has ever existed.”
The Onstage Love Fest
Before the big moment, the Grammy-winning producers spotted Amaya in the crowd and couldn’t hide their excitement. They hugged her like an old friend, then pulled her up for a high-energy, lights-blazing performance that had the audience screaming.
Amaya, rocking a confident post-Love Island glow, danced, sang along, and hyped up the crowd like she’d been doing it for years. Fans captured every second, and clips quickly spread across social media.
“This is the crossover event we didn’t know we needed,” one fan posted on X.
“Amaya Papaya owning that stage was EVERYTHING,” another added.
From Villa Queen to Festival Vibes
Since winning the Love Island USA crown this summer with her partner Bryan Arenales, Amaya has been on a serious glow-up streak — brand deals, interviews, and nonstop fan attention. Friday night’s Chainsmokers show only added to her streak of unforgettable moments.
It’s clear Amaya is embracing her new life in the spotlight — and after Friday, she might just have a standing invite to hop on stage with some of music’s biggest names.
The Chainsmokers’ Star-Studded Night
The Brooklyn show was already stacked before Amaya’s surprise cameo. The Chainsmokers kicked off their set with opening acts from Beau Cruz, Gravagerz, and Grammy-nominated Wuki. Rising star Anna Sofia also joined them onstage for a powerful performance that got the crowd’s hands in the air.
By the time Amaya arrived, the energy was electric — and her presence pushed it into overdrive.
A Summer to Remember
For The Chainsmokers, it was another night of blending music with memorable moments. For Amaya, it was a chance to show she’s more than just a reality TV star — she’s a performer, a personality, and, apparently, The Chainsmokers’ new favorite person.
