I started listening to her music last year, and although Urban music is not my favorite music Karol G is different and she is taking it to another level, she is something else. The whole package in just one artist! 💕🌸💕🔥👑.

I am from Venezuela and I want to say that Karol has been an artist who has inspired many people to fight and work to fulfill their dreams and she shows that she has done so because she has gradually been ascending and will continue to do them because she is already a complete artist who is winning the hearts of many fans around the world and every day with the favor of God she will continue to rise…. Pd: Toda una reina mi Karol te amo sigue brillando como nunca (por cierto tu inglés es Perfecto)
