Karol G, first Latina to headline Coachella, led with love on Sunday

Karol G may have kicked off her headlining set 30 minutes late on Sunday night — which is early for those familiar with the spatial-temporal concept known as “Latino Time” — but it made her display on the main stage no less monumental. “I’m Carolina Giraldo Navarro from Medellín, Colombia, and today, I am the first Latina woman to headline at Coachella,” she told the crowd, decked in the red, blue and yellow colors of the Colombian flag. Yet it was not just a celebration of Karol’s country people; but a musical welcome wagon, extended from Latin America to the rest of the world. “Forever wild, forever free … Latina foreva,” she recited from backstage, kicking off her set with the slinky reggaeton number of the same name — exalting the primordial goddess that lives inside every Latina.

Karol G Makes History With Coachella 2026 Headlining Set

Karol G made history at Coachella Sunday night as the first Latina to ever headline the annual festival, delivering an impressive, visually stunning set that featured surprise guests Becky G, Mariah Angeliq, Wisin and Greg Gonzalez. “I am Carolina Giraldo from Medellin, Colombia, and today I am the first Latina woman to headline coachella,” the superstar said as her crowd erupted in cheers toward the end of her set Sunday. “And I’m very happy and very proud about this, but at the same time, it feels late. I just want to say that before me there were so many legendary Latina artists that gave me the opportunity to be here tonight.” Starting a bit behind schedule at about 10:30 p.m., the Colombian superstar began her set with a cave painting-style video telling the story of a wild, free woman who loses her voice to the pressures of assimilating to the world, only to regain her freedom and become a goddess. Karol G came out after, starting with “Latina Foreva,” then “Un Gatito Me Llamo.” Angeliq …

Karol G Wants Coachella Performance to Have Meaningful Impact Amid ICE

Karol G, who is set to become the first Latina artist to headline Coachella this weekend, said she wants to make a notable impact, especially for the Latin community, with her performance. The Colombian superstar told Playboy in a recent interview that she wanted the right opportunity to stand up for her community. Especially since the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement under President Donald Trump has been widely criticized for its aggressive tactics towards the Hispanic community specifically. “People will say, ‘It’s better you don’t,’” Karol G said of speaking out against ICE. “Why? Because if you say the thing, maybe the next day you’ll get a call: ‘Hey, we are taking your visa away.’ You become bait, because some people want to show their power.” Rather than saying the popular anti-ICE phrase “ICE Out” that many other celebrities, such as Bad Bunny, have also said in the past, the “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” singer admitted she wants to make a statement that will be even more meaningful. “I have a huge stage, and …

Karol G, Feid reportedly break up after three-year romance

Singers Karol G and Feid have reportedly broken up after dating for three years. According to TMZ, the split was “amicable” and the duo remain on good terms. Representatives for Karol G and Feid did not immediately respond to The Times’ request for confirmation of the breakup. Neither artist has addressed their split on social media, with Karol G’s most recent Instagram post being Christmas themed and Feid promoting his new single with Luis Fonsi, “Cambiaré’.” The Colombian power couple were first rumored to be dating after the release of their 2021 collaboration “Friki.” Their relationship was all but confirmed after the two were seen together at the 2023 Latin Grammys, where Karol G won album of the year for “Mañana Será Bonito.” The “Provenza” artist made their romance public when she posted a photo on Instagram in March 2024 of her holding hands with Feid at the 2024 Billboard Women in Music ceremony. Feid was featured on Karol G’s 2025 album “Tropicoqueta” on the track “Verano Rosa.” Feid spoke with The Times last year …
