Karol G Has Always Believed In a Better Tomorrow

Karol G has always been inspired by the desire to pursue what's never been done before. One could say the Colombian superstar doesn't believe in the concept of impossibility.
When she released her fourth studio album, Mañana Será Bonito, it evolved from being just the latest in a string of successful projects into something more—a mantra that came to define her entire being. The album was accompanied by numerous accolades: it became the first Spanish-language album by a woman to top the Billboard 200 chart, Karol became the first woman to win the Grammy for Best Música Urbana Album, and it fueled what became a landmark tour. This tour was not only the biggest global outing of Karol G’s career, but also the biggest in history for a Latina artist. To this day, the Mañana Será Bonito tour is the highest-grossing—and the first-ever stadium tour—by a Latina recording artist.
Now, thanks to a new documentary—Mañana Fue Bonito (Tomorrow Was Beautiful)—available on Netflix today, Karol's fans can relive the era that changed everything for the singer, as well as see all that it took to make history and shift the perception of success for Latinas in music.
“The first time that I saw the documentary, the first thing I felt was I really forgot how much effort it took to get here,” Karol G tells Harper's Bazaar. “Every day you wake up thinking about the future, what's gonna be your next step, what's gonna be the next thing to do, and maybe you don't always have the time to stop a little bit and remember how far you've come from the beginning. That was the most beautiful and important thing for me about this documentary—it gave me this different perception of everything that [I'm experiencing] right now. I feel even like more inspired and more motivated for what's come.”
