This is not a drill: Bad Bunny and Karol G shared the stage last night! On Jan. 25, the Puerto Rican icon invited the Colombian superstar to be his special guest at his final performance at the Estadio Atanasio Girardot in Medellín, Colombia. They sang their collaboration “Ahora Me Llama.”
Benito performed three back-to-back dates in Medellín as part of his DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS Tour (Jan. 23 to 25). On this trek, he invited surprise guests Bomba Estéreo on the first night and Arcángel on the following date. But he left his audience surprised when he invited Karol G for his third night, singing their throwback duet “Ahora Me Llama” from 2017. The two stars haven’t sung together since around the 2017 trap era before they blew up on a global level, making this a full-circle moment. Karol—who has been low-key after her alleged split from Feid—came on stage to give us a glimpse of what to expect at her first-ever headlining slot in Coachella.
After singing “Ahora Me Llama,” Bad Bunny praised Karol, calling her “one of the representatives of our culture and our music on a global level.” The two reggaeton icons shared a hug on stage before La Bichota took over. She continued her surprise setlist with “LATINA FOREVA” and “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido.”
Fans are praising the reunion. An Instagram user, ausomejen, wrote: “They haven’t performed together in years! ❤️ what a gift!” Another Instagram user, ruben.palacios.jr, commented: “I want an updated song from them sooooo bad!!!!” Other social media users are manifesting that Benito brings Karol out as a surprise guest during his upcoming Super Bowl LX Halftime Show on Feb. 8.
After headlining the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, Bad Bunny will continue his DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS Tour at the Estadio River Plate in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He will then perform in Brazil, Australia, Japan, and more regions. He is also nominated for the upcoming gringo Grammys, which will take place on Feb. 1.
