Karol G made Coachella<\/a> history as the first Latina to headline the main stage, with fans already calling it the “best show so far.”<\/p>\n On Sunday (12 April), the ‘Papasito’ singer was scheduled to take the stage at 9:55pm, though final setup was still underway. Her performance eventually began around 30 minutes later than planned, with reports suggesting delays were caused by Young Thug\u2019s set running over.<\/p>\n Still, the wait only heightened the anticipation \u2013 and it certainly paid off. Fans immediately turned to social media, with some viewers overseas even pulling all-nighters to catch a first glimpse of the highly anticipated performance.<\/p>\n Karol G\u2019s performance followed Sabrina Carpenter on day one of the hotly anticipated music festival, as well as Justin Bieber\u2019s set, with fans hailing ‘Bieberchella<\/a>‘.<\/p>\n “Today, I am the first Latina woman to headline Coachella,\u201d she shared towards the end of her set. “I am very happy and very proud about this, but at the same time, it feels late.”<\/p>\n Her performance also featured special guests, including Mariah Angeliq and Becky G.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how fans reacted:<\/p>\n “SHE DID THAT,” one proclaimed, calling it the “best show at Coachella”. <\/p>\n Another reiterated the same message. <\/p>\n “Me going to sleep happy after the show Karol G gave us,” one penned. “A<\/span>nd that she’s the first Latina woman to headline Coachella.”<\/p>\n “This is for my Latinos who have been struggling in this country,” Karol G shared at one point of the show, referring to ICE<\/a> activity in the states. She said she wants “everyone to feel welcome to our culture”. <\/p>\n The star also recently told Playboy that she wants the ‘ICE Out’ message to stand for more than just a slogan. <\/p>\n “I don\u2019t want to just say ‘ICE Out’ and have nothing come from it\u2026 I\u2019m probably going to go a little harder than that,” she explained, adding that she wants to represent her community.<\/p>\n “But what I\u2019m telling you is that, as a human being, I want that to mean more,” the singer continued. “I\u2019m not saying that I\u2019m not going to do it; what I\u2019m saying is that I would do it and will do it with my soul. But I want to sit down and understand, in my head: Here\u2019s what that meant.\u201d<\/p>\n You should also read… <\/strong><\/p>\n How to<\/strong><\/a><\/u> join the indy100’s free WhatsApp channel<\/strong><\/p>\nKarol G’s full Coachella setlist: <\/h2>\n
