- Hi, everybody!
This is Karol G and I'm here at BuzzFeed
talking about my first times.
(upbeat Latin music)
First time you messed up on stage?
I have two.
I was in a concert and the zipper of my pants,
they broke, and I said like,
"hey, everybody, my zipper is broken, so take
the pictures, the videos, and we're going
to forget about this, and let's keep doing the show."
And the other one was the day before my Grammy,
I fell from the stage.
And that day, I said in the mic, "Hey,
this is going to be my good luck for tomorrow at Grammy's."
And that day, I won the Grammy.
First time you were starstruck?
When I was a child, I used to perform in Spanish.
(singing in Spanish)
I don't remember, how do you sing it in English?
- [Producer] Come on over?
♪ Come on over, come on over baby ♪
- Okay, so one day, I met her in person.
Oh my God, it's Christina Aguilera.
First novela you were obsessed with?
Rebelde in Spanish is a Mexican Novela.
I was so obsessed, so my mother used to say,
"If you don't do your homework, you're not
getting to watch Rebelde."
If you don't do this, if you don't do that.
You're not going to watch Rebelde.
So at that time I used to be a really good girl.
Just to see my novela.
Describe your first time touring in Medellin, Colombia.
That's my city. (finger snap)
Those were, like, my first performances.
I remember that I used to go to shows with radio stations
in small towns and people were really grateful
that somebody was there performing.
And those were my first fans.
Three or four months ago I went there.
I did a show, I did a performance, and people didn't
need to take a ticket or anything.
It was just free.
And they were more than like 100,000 people.
That's the most amazing thing.
(speaking in spanish)
First wild fan experience?
I met a girl that she has the nine tattoos
in the same place that I have all of them.
First bad date?
I remember a lot of them.
I can't choose one, I have had really bad dates.
If you want to take me on a good date, take me to
Six Flags, a karaoke, go-karts.
Extreme experience, those are going to be like,
my first good dates.
First CD you bought?
My first CD that I bought was from Eminem.
Cleaning out my closet.
Eminem, I'm your fan.
First app you check in the morning?
Instagram. That's my favorite one.
First impression of Nicki Minaj when I'm with her?
You know what?
I was super scared to meet her.
She has a super strong personality, but when she got
in the place, she was like,
"Oh my God, Karol please teach me how to sing the songs
in Spanish."
"I want you all the time up by my side."
So, right now, I don't know what people think
about Nicki Minaj.
For me she's a Queen.
And she was like, really nice with me.
Nicki... (kissing sound)
First time you met Anuel AA?
(Whispering) My boy.
Is it the time I can't stop smiling, my eyes are
super bright?
(speaking Spanish)
- [Producer] Love at first sight.
- Love at first, first, first, super first, mega first time.
First song you ever wrote?
Okay, I remember when I was in school, there was
a challenge, we had to compose a song in the music class
about peace in our country.
Colombia used to have those really bad moments, so that
was my first time composing a song.
I did it with my sister.
Describe what you felt when you accepted
your first Latin Grammy?
Oh my God, I don't know why.
I was super scared.
I remember of course I was with my father.
My father was my first supporter.
Before they announced, he told me,
"Babe, this is ours."
I smiled, breathed, and they said my name.
And then I just remember that I had
a super painful headache.
After Grammy's, I spent a complete night and two days
in the hospital because I was too stressed.
A Grammy gave me two days in this hospital.
First concert you went to?
My first one was Salserin from Venezuela.
First person you called when you got engaged?
Ah, hm.
I think I didn't call anybody because I was super surprised.
I was like, super confused because he gave me
the ring, and um,
(speaking spanish)
in an ice cream.
And almost broke one my teeth.
And the ring was there.
First time you knew you were in love with Anuel AA?
(laughing)
I think I knew it at the first time I saw him.
But then I really realized I was in love one day
that we kept talking from the morning to the night.
Thank you so much Buzzfeed, it was so much fun.
I love you, I hope you like it, and you have to
go to watch and listen, and share, and dance to my
new song Tusa with Nicki Minaj.
(kissing sound)
(speaking Spanish)
Goodbye!
