In a Los Angeles Times cover story, Karol G opened up about the pressure of being the first Latina Coachella headliner and what it means to be in one of the world's biggest music festivals. She reflected on her past Coachella performance in 2022 and how she used it to pay tribute to the artists that paved the way for her:⁠ ⁠ “When they first invited me, I was like, ‘I can’t believe that I had this opportunity, because there’s a lot of artists that couldn’t perform in there, even having legendary songs.’ That’s why I decided I’m gonna celebrate the songs that opened the door for me. That’s why I did ‘Gasolina,’ Ricky Martin, Selena Quintanilla. It was a way for me to honor what all the different artists did for me to be there. I think I had a ‘before’ and ‘after’ with Coachella.”⁠ ⁠ #KarolG #Coachella #Colombiana #LatinaPower #Latina
