The NFL season opener got a dose of Latin flavor when Karol G hit the stage in São Paulo, Brazil, on Friday night (Sept. 5). Performing at halftime during the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Chargers game, the Colombian superstar brought her Tropicoqueta vibes straight to the Corinthians Arena—and had the crowd moving from the jump.
A Global Stage for La Bichota
Karol wasted no time showing love to her Brazilian fans, kicking off her set by singing a few lines in Portuguese before diving into Spanish with “Bandida Entrenada.” With an excited “Hey, Brazil!” and her signature “¡Arriba mi gente latina!”, she made sure the entire arena felt that connection.
Dressed in a tropical-inspired fit—pineapple bra top, mini skirt, and plenty of shimmer—Karol served both looks and energy. Her medley included fan favorites like “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido,” “Un Gatito Me Llamó,” and “Papasito” (where she switched it up by mixing Spanish and English).
Short But Sweet Showstopper
The halftime set may have lasted under 10 minutes, but Karol made it count. Backed by a squad of dancers, percussionists, and golden pom poms, she even threw in some lambada-inspired moves before closing with fireworks lighting up the stadium. It was the kind of performance that reminded fans why Karol G isn’t just dominating charts—she’s owning stages worldwide.
A Special Moment for Karol
Earlier that day, Karol shared heartfelt words on Instagram about returning to one of her favorite places—the stage. “It has all my soul and heart,” she wrote, thanking her team and promising fans a show full of love and energy.
Her NFL spotlight was part of the league’s collaboration with YouTube, marking the first NFL game to stream exclusively on the platform. And while the game brought the touchdowns, Karol G definitely brought the fireworks.
