Karol G is performing again! On August 14, it was announced that the Colombian pop star will be performing the halftime show for the NFL’s first international game this season. The game will see the Los Angeles Chargers take on the AFC-winning Kansas City Chiefs, from the Corinthians Arena in São Paulo, Brazil, on September 5. And where can you watch it? YouTube.
“I’m so excited to be part of YouTube’s first-ever NFL live broadcast, it’s truly an honor and a moment I’m so proud to be part of,” KAROL G said in a press statement. “I’ve watched many NFL halftime shows over the years and now having this opportunity to bring my music to this global stage means the world to me. I can’t wait to celebrate with everyone in São Paulo and fans all around the world.”
Earlier this year, Karol dropped her album TROPICOQUETA, ushering in a new musical era full of nostalgia and creative interpolations. Throughout her new album, she crossed genres like vallenato, dembow, reggaeton, ranchera, Brazilian funk, bachata, and cumbia villera. Now, she’ll perform the album live in a stadium for the first time, giving fans a glimpse of what could hint at an upcoming tour.
