The Best Moments from Karol G’s Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour

By the time Karol launched her tour in Chicago, it was clear she was teasing something new. Fans at Soldier Stadium were treated to the official premiere of new song “Matadora” as a video of Karol dancing to the song appeared on the giant screens just as the show was over. It was a head-spinning way to start her Tropitour.

Karol celebrated the announcement of No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto with the live debut of one of the album’s most heartfelt cuts, “Si Lo Ven.” Wearing a white hoodie and bathed in blue light that bounced off her zip-up, the Colombian singer lamented a former flame — and had nearly all of Northwest Stadium tearing up. The evocative performance wasn’t just a tear-jerker moment, but a glimpse into the emotional landscape of her new project.

Karol surprised fans at Sofi Stadium when she brought out Bruno Mars to perform their new collaboration “Still” for the very first time. The singer and pop hitmaker were a vision of romance as they serenaded each other, the stage lights perfectly glinting off their sequined outfits. Little did fans know that the performance would actually be a part of the “Still” music video — and that Mars’ presence was the start of an ongoing flirtation.

Karol’s“BbY WOW” has been an unstoppable hit this year, and that’s partly thanks to Los Menor3s. The Venezuelan band sparked a viral trend on TikTok after they shared a video of themselves dancing to the track. At Karol’s tour stop in Massachusetts, the dance got its own onstage moment when the Colombian singer invited two of the three band members, Big Bowe and Sheba, to show off their inventive moves. “It was fun… It’s super random because we’re not dancers. What we do is make music, but we’re really grateful and happy that it happened,” Big Bowe told Remezcla.

Karol continued to celebrate “BbY WOW” at her stop in New Jersey. On the first of two nights at MetLife Stadium, the singer transformed the show into an Ibiza club when she brought out the song’s collaborators Tainy, Spanish singer Judeline, and Spanish producer Rusowsky for the track’s explosive live debut. The trio performed from an elevated stage with the track’s superproducer, Tainy, spinning on a makeshift DJ table. Pink and blue strobes lit up the stadium, and fireworks even shot up into the sky, marking a true celebration of “BbY WOW” and its wild success.

Karol delivered a surprise at the top of her second night at MetLife when she brought out Peso Pluma to perform their 2023 collaboration “QLONA.” “I want you to help me with a huge roar so we can sing this one with Peso Pluma,” Karol told the audience of 80,000 in Spanish. Of course, they obliged. It’s the second time this year that the duo have performed their sultry song together. The Mexican artist also joined Karol during her historic Coachella set for the final weekend, where she announced her Tropitour.

When Becky G wrapped her final night as an opener, Karol made sure to celebrate the Mexican artist — and their close friendship. Before the two performed their 2022 collaboration “Mamii” for the last time on the Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour, Karol surprised Becky with a giant bouquet of flowers. “Tonight is her last night with us. My heart is breaking, but we have had an incredible time. For me, she is like my other half on the stage,” Karol told the Jersey audience in Spanish. She then turned her attention to Becky: “I want to tell you that at the moment I called myself Karol G, there was a Becky G who was singing all over the world, making music all over the world. You were an inspiration for many of us. You were an inspiration, and you will continue to be an inspiration for me. Our stage is your home forever and ever.” The pair ended the sweet moment with a hug.

Drake embodied his Champagne Papi persona when he joined Karol onstage in Houston to sing their new Spanish-language collaboration “Ahí” live for the first time. The pair leaned into the flirty energy of the track when Karol danced on Drake, and he yelled out, “Ay, que rico!” It was the first time they had shared the stage together, but Drake’s second time at the Tropitour; the rapper also attended Karol’s Toronto stop in July. Drake also treated Karol’s fans inside Reliant Stadium to a solo performance of his hits, “Janice STFU” and “One Dance.”

Karol had a treat for fans in Miami: She brought out Eddy Lover to sing their Tropicoqueta collaboration “Dile Luna” together for the first time. The fun didn’t stop there. Karol asked the Panamanian artist to “sing [her] one more, the one that’s everyone’s favorite.” With that, Lover ripped through his reggaeton classic “Perdoname,” bringing Hard Rock Stadium right back to the 2000s and rousing the audience with each drum beat. The crowd proved that the song was, indeed, their favorite as they belted the chorus right along with Lover.

Karol continued to show her love for Miami — and her opening acts — during her second night at Hard Rock Stadium when she had the night’s opener, Greeicy, perform their song “Amiga Mía” together, and then invited Elena Rose, who opened the night before, onstage as well. The Colombian singer handed both artists their own bouquets, just as she did with Becky G in New York. “I hope you both keep flourishing like these bouquets I brought you and that you keep being an inspiration for all of the women that are here tonight,” Karol told them. The trio of bichotas wrapped the sweet moment with a performance of Rose’s 2025 track “Orión.” It was the perfect embodiment of what Karol’s Tropitour is all about, being a proud Latina.
