Karol G is finally receiving all the flowers in the music industry, and it is all thanks to her album, "Mañana Será Bonito," which got the ball rolling for her in 2023.
Billboard Women in Music hinted that this year's Woman of the Year is someone "who made chart history, sold out stadiums on tour, and has a popular nickname."
The hints sent netizens into a spiral, guessing who could tick all the boxes, naming several high-profile artists like Beyonce and Taylor Swift.
"Oh, this is obviously Taylor Swift or Beyoncé."
"It's Bey, Taylor don't have a nickname."
However, no one seemed to consider the Colombian hitmaker, who has been making waves in the music scene for a while now.
Karol G born Carolina Giraldo Navarro goes by a famous nickname and her "Mañana Será Bonito" Tour is one of the highest-grossing female Latin tours in 2023.
