ANA CORA LIMARIO DE JANEIRO, RJ (FOLHAPRESS) - The phone of Jayder Soares, honorary president and patron of Academicos do Grande Rio, has not stopped ringing in the last few days. There are people giving suggestions for names or even direct requests from celebrities who want to occupy the role of drum queen, vacated by Virginia Fonseca this week.

Soares, however, has already chosen who he wants to see at Carnival 2027 leading the samba school drums: Paolla Oliveira. The actress is plan A, B, C and D of the Duque de Caxias club and she only doesn't resume the role - which she performed for seven years - if she doesn't want to.

The report found that Paolla received the invitation by phone from the board as soon as Virginia announced her departure, on Wednesday night (12). Taken by surprise by the influencer's decision, the actress had already anticipated that she would find it difficult to return. Still, he said he would think carefully and that he needed time to give an answer.

While not confirming the return, Paolla has received messages from members of the school to consider the decision. On social media, followers also started asking for her return: "Come back, Paolla, to the post you never lost", "Ready to come back, queen?" and “Return to Grande Rio, the crown is yours”. When contacted by the report, the actress did not respond to contacts.

Virginia spent a year and three months in charge of the Grande Rio battery. When she announced her departure, she stated that she was tired and that the demands of the position no longer fit in with the routine dedicated to her children and business. In May, she had been confirmed as the school's drum queen in 2027. "I also recognize the weight of this. I know how exhausting it is, how much it requires presence, how much it requires commitment, and I don't know how to do anything halfway", she stated.

The influencer also cited the criticism she has received since taking up the post, in May 2025, and said she was welcomed by the school. "There I felt at home, loved, protected and, above all, happy. Between boos and applause, we walked together", he wrote.
