Alex Cooper x YouTube Presents: BTS of Headlining Coachella (ft. KAROL G) - Part 2

My real name is Carolina.

>> Hey Daddy Gang, welcome back to part two.

of this very special Karol G Coachella. episode. I just got to Coachella. I'm. backstage. I'm about to go hang out with. Karol G and I'm so so so excited for you. to see this episode. Before we get into. it, if you have not watched part one of. this series, you have to pause and you. need to go watch that. In episode one, Karol G shared her story of being a. teenager growing up in Colombia and then. getting to where she is today headlining. Coachella. Now in this episode, Karol is. going to talk about her creative.

inspiration and just the whole process. that went into putting this Coachella. set together. Before we kick off. Coachella with Karol G, we're going to. take it back to the studio so you can. hear from her what went into this set. Let's get into it. What is up Daddy Gang? It is your. founding father Alex Cooper with Call. Her Daddy. I know that you performed at Coachella. in 2022. Now, 4 years later, yes, you.

are headlining and it's very well. deserved. But, where were you when you. found out? Like, who called you? What. was your reaction? >> I'm a loud person. I'm a very loud person. I love to. scream. I love to I think I have. I'm really loud person, but actually. this one. got me like super different. Like, my my. sister called me. My sister, she's my. sister and at the same time she's my. manager. And she called me and I was like. completely shocked. Cuz I think right. now I feel so um.

so special that I have the opportunity. to be in this generation that is. changing the narrative for our Latina. culture. It's super important for me. And when. she called me and she told me like, "Okay, they want you to be the headliner. that that is going to close the. festival." Cuz I have Sunday. So, I close the festival and it's the. first time they're going to have like a. Latina woman in Spanish being a. headliner. So, it felt heavy, you know?

It's kind of like. crazy. So, at at that moment I was like kind of. little shocked. I got like a this silent. moment and I was like, "Okay, let's do it." Like, we were we were. talking at the time we were talking. about starting the tour. But, then I was like, "Let's stop. everything and let's just focus about. this cuz this is huge and I really want. my community to feel proud and I really. want the world to feel that I was ready. for this huge opportunity.

>> How did you begin to come up with what. you wanted this message to be? >> It's a mix of things. I think. in my whole career. like. I have had the craziest experiences. Good ones, very bad ones, things that I. just feel that I shouldn't lived at that. time. And. um. because of that I just feel that I need. to speak for women in so many different.

reasons. So, yeah, there is a still like. the message of my community. We're. fighting for rights, but at the same. time there's so many different uh. battles that we have to still keep. fighting for. And so, I was like. thinking how I can put all of these. things together and make it. work and make it. still like it's a show, it's a concert, you know? So, uh that was the hardest. part to get. in. And we had like five or six.

different. We started from something, then it. become something different, then it like. and at the end like wow, we. just built for me it's kind of uh I love. it. I'm very hard on myself and to have. a show that I love love love made me. feel like very. confident about the show that we have. >> I just I'm so impressed because I think. Listen, we've seen people go up there. and have fun at Coachella, perform their.

songs, and then we have seen people make. statements, whether it was right. political or whether it was to represent. their community or it was about yes, like gender, whatever it be. And the. fact that you have two huge things on. your shoulders, right? You're trying to. speak up for women. and you're also trying to speak up for. your community. That is a lot. Like I. think about it this year, we had the Bad. Bunny Super Bowl. And this is on the Bad Bunny Super Bowl. Yes, it was his Super Bowl. >> Yeah, it was amazing. >> we've got you headlining. Like what.

impact do you hope to see from this. massive moment that Latin music is. having in American culture right now? >> I just feel like to have the opportunity. to change people minds it's the most. important. It is still like things that. are still like running by different. people that I don't know how much we can. change that. But at least what I love the most is to. see how people, for example, from here.

they're fighting for us. And that's what means everything cuz. it's about that. It's about love. It's. kind of uh we're here in this world that. it that is pushing us to be separated in. all the ways possible. And when human, they got this empathy. and they when humans understand why we. are here that all we are all a. community. I know it's Latinos, it's. Europeans, it's but at the same at the. end we're us in here in this world. It's. kind of a it's humanity. So I like I I.

just feel that when you see that people. is open their eyes and understanding. that it's it's we have to do something. together that's going to make the the. voice louder and that's what we need to. to get together and speak for everyone. at the same time. >> And in a really powerful way, I feel. like something that has always prevailed. and risen up is music unites people. Music is this thing that, no matter what.

is going on in the world, it is. something that can bring us all. together. So kudos to you for doing. that. Okay, talking a little bit more. about Coachella because now I'm like. obviously weekend one happened, we're. going into weekend two. Can you tell us. a little bit about like once you decided. on this vision, you're like, I need to. represent my community, I want to speak. up for women. How did you even think. about like the set design and the set. list and the costumes? >> Okay, that's a good one cuz. as I said before, like we had like seven.

different options. And not options cuz we started from this. and then I feel like I like this but I. don't feel yet what I visualized for. this moment and then we moved to here. and we just until the moment we got to. what we presented, okay? So, I wanted of course to represent where I. come from. I am from Colombia. I'm a. Colombiana and I'm Latina and I'm human. in this world and so I can represent how.

I can represent like my culture not. being. I wanted to go deep. So, what existed before the aesthetic of. Latinos, you know, like this colorful. world where really extra, we're full of. beautiful. different even cultures. in our culture cuz there's Mexican, Colombians, Peruvian, like everything. and we're from different places and we. have our different things. So, how I can. represent everything but in a way that.

people can understand because I want the. world to understand who. we are. And at the same time like speaking about. women, um I read a book. 7 years ago. Las mujeres corren con los lobos is the. name in English is Women That Run with. Wolves. I think it's the meaning. And the book is so beautiful cuz the. book tells you and explain you how women. were respected in like years ago. We. going to We're talking about like uh.

primitive. >> Yep. The OG days, yeah. Before we had all the. OG days. All the socialization and. society built like all the way back to. the very very beginning. >> Exactly. We're like we're in that time. >> it. >> Exactly. So, women at that time we were. wild, you know, everyone was wild at. that time and it was all about. intuition, spirituality, like the. realness that we it is in our energy, in. our bodies. And I find always like the. energy of women like the most inspiring.

thing for me. Like I love men and cuz I. love them but when I feel something that. inspires me a lot, most of the times it. comes from a women, exactly from women. So, um when I read that book, I was like. so surprised how. they used to be the leader of the tribes. and everything because of all the. energy, you know, even because of their. sensuality, their energy, the powerful. mind, the the power of the body.

And then so society and structure. system, they just have been taking that. out from us. So, I was like, "Mhm, that's a good. start. to thinking about the stage, to thinking. about where I want to put the people. like when they see the show, where we. going to be.". So, we're going to be in that a specific. time when women they just were powerful. because of. their selves, their inner mind, their. inner feelings, their like wildness that.

is so powerful and so beautiful. And I. want to put the people in that a. specific time and I want everyone that. space, even women more, feeling that powerful. energy. You know, you you can be big, feeling. intelligent, and smart, brilliant, but. you can feel like intelligent, and. smart, and brilliant, feeling sexy, hot, mamacita, why not? And I want to put. that wildness in all the show. So, we.

have like one, two, three, like four different stages. As the people saw, uh-huh, we have four. different stages that this kind of. of this world where we live in, that for. me would be the. perfect world for women to be free. >> Women are going to be. going feral. Like I can't I can't. explain even just you sitting in this. chair how like it's has me getting hyped.

cuz I'm like this is what we need right. now. So then when you go out on stage, do you ever get nervous that you're. going to get choked up and emotional or. do you just go right into performer mode. and you just have to like black out the. emotions? Cuz this is pretty emotional, Karol. >> Literally, the most emotional person. that you're going to have sitting in. this chair. Like I cried for everything. Like happiness, sadness, and everything. I think with the time I've been trying.

to control it a little more cuz you. understand that sometimes. uh. I want to be super genuine and honest. with my feelings, but sometimes you. realize that there's specific places. where people is going to be hard on you. because you feel real. So I'm trying to. taking care of myself because with those. things, but I'm super emotional. It's It happens to me. And. actually, I love my fans cuz they gave. me the confident that I needed to.

be open with one of my albums, the. Mañana Será Bonito. I like I did that album in a specific. moment in my life where I was like. really broke everything in me. And then. when I had to put like a an album, it. was like a like it songs that I just. were like doing just to let out. feelings. And then when I put all those. songs together then I put that album out. because okay, you have an album, it. becomes. something that I understood people.

needed, like a voice, you know? Someone. that is speaks about realness and real. feelings. So after that like I feel. comfortable. I know they call me cryer, they call me. like a like I'm like a kid, they call me. like I'm immature and everything. And. girl, yeah, I I don't I just feel that I. have the most beautiful memories of my. childhood and the way I used to feel at. that time and the the way I used to. uh have relationship with people and.

yeah, I didn't grow up like I still want. to be there and I I'm still that girl. >> I. and there should be no shame though. It's like being emotional about things. that you love, that's what we live for, right? Like to actually be affected by. those things and to feel it so deeply. Like that is that is beautiful. >> Call Her Daddy is brought to you by. Häagen-Dazs. Daddy gang, I think we all. deserve a little more me time, whether. it's work, school, or whatever is.

bringing you down. It's so important to. take a second to slow down and treat. yourself. And lately my favorite way to. do this is with some rich, smooth, creamy ice cream and none better than. Häagen-Dazs. You guys, you have to try their cherry dark. chocolate bar. Let me just tell you. something, okay? Picture rich cherry ice. cream with some tart cherry ribbons all. covered in a thick layer of dark. chocolate. Yes, it's the kind of thing. you don't want to just eat, but you like. literally experience, okay? Usually I'm.

the type to just like crush a dessert in. 2 seconds, but this Oh girls, I'm taking. my time. I'm like savoring every bite. Häagen-Dazs is just one of those things. that's meant to be savored. I've. literally been eating Häagen-Dazs since. I came out of the womb. My entire family. has always had it stocked in our fridge. It'd be like movie night, boom, sit. down, get our Häagen-Dazs. And now the. cherry dark chocolate bar, it's always. in my hand, okay? It is just the perfect. sweet treat that I just can't get enough. of. It's my go-to treat at the end of a. long work day. So, take your sweet time.

That's Dazs, available at retailers. nationwide. >> How did you decide for yourself of just. like what you wanted to look for when it. came to filling that stage with people? >> Okay, with the guests, I used to have like with different. feelings cuz okay, I'm going to be a. headliner Coachella is. there's something special that happens. just in Coachella, you know? But at the. same time I want us just to. have the people that.

if I going to put us on on the show. and I have a guest like. on the song like I just want to bring. them on stage because they're part of. the success. So. I don't I don't sit like in in my chair. thinking okay what what would be the. greatest. guest for the show to. I don't know to touch someone. No, no, for me it was about who are the ones. that I feel.

their song to perform their song on this. show is going to make a moment very. special for my fans and I'm going to. bring them on stage. So it was about. that and. and actually for one of the moments it's. specifically talking about the Latina. culture. I want to bring someone that. uh. has made like a statement for life, you. know, a legacy. a pioneer of of what we do and what why. we're here.

And that's it. It was so. >> I love it. I'm so happy for you. Okay, speaking of your fans, you referenced. them. They obviously are obsessed with you, but your fans wear bright blue and red. wigs to your shows and they are very. very very invested in the different. colors that you dye your hair. Can you. walk me through each of your hair color. eras and what they represented in your. life at the time?

>> Okay, when I was at school, my mom. what's what's she was super open with. the idea of me dying like my hair in. different colors. I didn't do it like in. a with a. uh chemical in the chemical way, but I. don't know if you know that there's like. a paper. that you used to pack. um. presents that they have like you put in. hot water, it like just put like the the. water in the color, and I used to pull.

like my hair there, and I got like this. little blue or the little It was like a. attached. It wasn't that hard as I did. Uh-huh, so when I was in um we were in. in COVID time. and we were just locked. And I was like, "Okay, this is I don't have interviews, I don't have like shows, I don't have. nothing. I really want to be back in. this. love that I feel for colors in the hair. So, the first one was blue. Uh I I'm a. very colorful girl, and when I say. colorful is not all the time colorful.

It's because. I see colors. I see everything in. colors. Like I I see feelings in colors. So, sometimes I'm with someone and I. just I'm just talking, and I'm like, "Alex, like what I feel for you is. pink.". And and I say that. Like, I've I don't. know but what I'm feeling right now with. you is pink. And and sometimes this song. for the show it has to be yellow. And. everyone is like, "But it's not kind of. like black?" And I'm like, "No, it for. me it feels yellow. So, let's put the.

visualizers and everything in yellow.". So, I don't know but I see everything in. colors. So, my soul at the time was feeling. blue. So, I just put my hair blue, and I. tried to explain to people why it was. blue. And I think. my fans they just got this as I'm. feeling blue, too. So, they put their. heads in blue, and the crazy thing is I. never asked for that. It started like. coming to the shows with the hair blue, and they came to the show at Coachella.

with the hair blue. And it was like this. this was this crazy picture about the. crowd with this little um. group of people with the hair blue, and. I was like, "I love them so much and. then I was so scared to change the. color, but I wasn't feeling blue. anymore. But in that specific time when you're. healing, there is a. rebellion moment. You don't come from. this to the healing. There is a a part. of you that is tired, that it it's it's.

kind of, you know, it's it's rebellion. >> like fiery. >> Exactly. So, it's it's someone that is. start thinking like it. Like, you. know, I it's just that's it. Like, please. So, that's red for me. So, I put. my hair red and I was I remember that I. was in Santorini and I put my hair red. and I was like, how do I show this to. the world? Like, I don't know. I don't. know if I'm going to lose my fandom cuz. they just. noticed me with this blue hair.

Okay, just a video on Instagram, poop. I'm with the red hair right now. And people got crazy with it. So, the. next time like I just the the next day. like videos on TikTok and everywhere. like people going to the salon to change. their hair from blue to red. And I was. like, oh my god. Okay, that's. crazy. My fans are crazy. >> intense. >> We have a really really really toxic.

relationship. I mean, my fans and I have a a toxic. relationship cuz we go hard all the. time. So, they always with me. They have my. tattoo. They have this tattoo like most. of them. I have this tattoo that. represent like friendship and they all. of them they got it. >> a full codependent relationship. >> So, then wait cuz I was with this red. hair. And then when you heal, actually you feel. less heavy. You feel.

uh everything feels effortless. and everything is just about like chill, you know, you're kind of understanding. at the time now I know how I was feeling. that way. Now I understand how like why. I was like with this red idea of this. toughness that I needed to be here right. now. So, it was pink. So, for me that era was pink. And I knew at the time like if I put my. red and pink my fans were about to do it.

like too. So, I put my hair pink and. then next day videos, my fans like, "Please Karol, stop, cuz you're. going to make my hair and my even my. wallet.". >> Literally, they're like, "Babe, my hair. is falling out of my head. I was with. you from the blue, then I was okay for. the red, now we're going to pink? I'm. going to have no hair left.". >> And actually when I was about to come. back to my natural color with highlights. but with to my natural color. I was crazy about I was crazy about the.

idea to have it like orange. >> No. >> Yeah, but then I was I was like more. conscious about like my fans, you know, like let's let's have a moment let's. have a moment to just. >> Heal. >> Heal her the hair too, exactly. Now I. healed. >> If you If Karol, if you went orange, I. think your fans would have been like, "I've got like three strands of hair. left, girl.". >> Okay, I'm going to put these three. little hairs that I have left in orange. because. Yeah, but maybe just one day I can be.

back. >> Okay, so now we're going to wait to see. if you dye your hair again cuz now I'm. stressed. I'm going to be like I don't. know. >> to. >> Okay, you're stressing. >> love to. Like always like fashionable. people is always like, "Girl, with your. natural color hair everything looks more. elevated and this and that." Like I. don't really care like a lot about it. So, maybe I just wake up one day and. >> You're having fun. >> And it's done. >> I love it. >> Yeah. >> Um okay. Being a Sunday headliner, Miss Karol G,

are you going to be able to catch anyone. else's sets or are you like way too busy. rehearsing for all of your stuff? >> I would love to go. Like actually I'm a. still a fan girl, you know, and and I. would love to go to some shows. So maybe. for the second weekend like I'm going to. be around. >> So first weekend you'll lock in. >> Yeah. >> Second weekend you may go see who? >> Yeah, like I don't know but for sure I really. want to see Justin show.

It's long long time. he haven't been on stage and and and I. had the opportunity to meet him in at. Super Bowl. We were in the same like. Sweden we talk a lot about like what. does this mean for us and actually his. show at the Grammys for me I loved it. how he was like in his. like bed short with his guitar on it. like just like creating the instrumental.

writer like it was honest and so pure. and so. I don't know it was for me it has a. really big meaning the show like that. So maybe I'm going to go to that one. I. would love to go to see Sabrina's of. course cuz. I think I want to I want the people to. feel that this is. our year. It's not like about like every. single year we see these different. artists that are going to be there but I. want the people to feel that this year. is about all of us and I want to be for.

some like some of them. I can be in all. of them but I would love to be in lot of. them. >> No, it's beautiful. Um. as you were speaking about obviously. your Coachella set is so focused on. celebrating your culture. Um what do you. wish more people understood about. Colombia? >> Oof. Beautiful. You nailed it with that. question cuz you said it's specific. about Colombia. And Colombia is a. country that grew from a lot of.

disaster, from a lot of suffering. My country is the most beautiful country. you. ever going to see. Cuz when people go. there, they know it like we literally is. a beautiful country. It's rich in. biodiversity, in in animals, in. different species of. uh fauna and flora in Spanish. And the people, we are like they. nos crían, they we grew up like with.

attitude is everything. Everything. Even the person in the worst. situation, there's always waking up at. 4:00 a.m. in the in the morning saying. Diosito, God, this is going to be the. day. Even in the worst situation. So, when you meet people in Colombia, you're. going to feel the most. the big a big hug from everyone. And. speaking about that and about like the. strength and the spirit that as a. Colombian we have, my country has.

a beautiful future. and an opportunity to be an amazing, grown country. We just need the right. people. to lead the country, you know? So, uh. I'm just very proud of my country, of. the culture that represent my my. country, the music, the artists that. have been representing our flag from all. over the places. That's a good thing and. you're going to go and you're going to. see how beautifully our country has.

grown from all of the pain and all of. the hard times. It's just amazing. >> It is amazing and I think that's what is. so important right now to be speaking. about culture and people and what. connects us because we all are so. connected in a way that it feels as of. recent we've been made to feel divided. and we've been made to feel like other. And I think through your music and. through your work and through other.

artists and other people, like the more. we talk about how we are connected and. you speaking about your culture in such. a beautiful way, like not that you have. to educate people, but it is so. important that people like you are able. to tell people who you are, where you've. come from, how proud you are, because it. is a really scary time in this country. And I think what you're doing is so. beautiful and I can't wait for the world. to see this Coachella set because to. even hear that you've infused so much of.

that love and that culture and your. background into it, that's something the world needs to see. And I love that you've brought it here. >> Thank you. And and you know what? Like. it it just to add something like a. little thing cuz uh. I can understand that sometimes people. think that what we're doing as a Latinos. is kind of a trend. It can become. something that. they they come again with their message. Of course we have in a situation we come. like we're going through a lot of I'm. not going to say me,

but there is a lot of people that is. going through a lot of hard things in. this country and it's our responsibility. to speak about. But when we do it, we do. it like as a welcoming. way, you know? We're not saying like. we're this and you're not part of this. No, we're saying like we're Latinos, we. need to speak about from like our. culture, our how this community has. helped grow this country too. And we're. this, we're like. fabulous people, we're like a hard.

worker people with the most beautiful. spirit and you're welcome to join us as. a community. We're not taking no one. like out of the. situation. >> And can you talk a little bit just about. your foundation that you have back home. in Medellín? >> Ah, Con Cora. Con Cora is my foundation. I think like we grew up like going to. these different like ancianatos, like. old uh. places with viejitos and and and for. children and everything. That's.

something that my parents they put us uh. since we were like little girls. And I. think when I grew up like I think. everything needs to have like a circle. It's not just for me for me for me. It. it has to keep like circling and we they. with the foundation we worked a lot. Even in my country, that is a beautiful. country, but we lack we need a lot of. opportunities for the people, education. and support and someone that sees. what the ones that need to see they.

don't see. Uh, but actually like for me. it's so beautiful that all the fans that. follows me and. go to my shows and they just listen to. my music, they they're part of this. changing situation. They're being part. of this foundation, too. So, I'm very. grateful. I've. love to keep like moving forward with. things and and and that's what I. actually what I feel that is my my my. purpose purpose in in the life is that. uh I'm this blessed because I have like.

a. mission. And I'm just making sure that it's our. mission, all of the people that follows. me and we do this work and so beautiful, so special. >> Okay, Karol. Last question. What do you. hope fans take away from listening to. your music? >> Uh, that's a good one, too. Mm. I've. I don't know. Like I'm an I'm a an open.

book and. I want them them to find like a. space, like a safe space. And that's why. I speak about like all of the things in. life. even the uncomfortable things that. nobody speaks about like I'm trying to. do music for every situation that I feel. for everyone to find like a safe space. in my music and I want them to feel. proud at the same time. So that's why I. keep like.

being hard on me and learning and. evolving and yeah. >> Call Her Daddy is brought to you by. Depop. I feel like we all have that one. chair in our bedroom that becomes the.

Like I like to do things, but. but like I'm trying to install like a. little bit her things cuz they she came. with a. Mickey Mouse something, and I was like, "Mom." My mom brought her with a Mickey.

Mouse something, and I was like, "They. look is. zero Coachella. And it's less 30. tropical Coachella. >> How are you feeling? >> Crazy. Like I don't know. It's it's My. feelings are like um.

unhealthy. It feels like a lot of. pressure like the day when we rehearsed. Like um of course we just. and we went to Las Vegas, and we just. built a full stage there, and it was. amazing. But here, we were like we built. the stage in in the level of the of the. floor, but here is in the level of the. stage. So it got like massive, and and. the scale of the the. the stage is that huge, and and it has. three levels, so I'm on top, and I see. everyone down there, and okay, I got.

nervous and after that. yeah, this will hurt. After that it it. it is a like I got these special nerves. that it they feel. little hard. >> What did you do to that? >> I woke up really early I trained then I. did like 2 hours and a half of my. singing class cuz I really want my. vocals to be on. point for today and then I got here like. at 11:30 or something I like. >> 11:30 in the morning? >> Yeah, I'm super obsessed.

>> Guys, just for context she's going on at. 9:55 at night and she got here at 11:30. in the morning. What have you been. doing? >> But I like I'd rather be here cuz I at. least I have my team around and if I. have a a note or whatever or if they. have notes they come to me and we're. close and it's better.

I think I'm trying to enjoy the day cuz. it's going to pass so fast. >> It's I feel like it's going to go by so.

quickly that like once you get out there. right but the lead up feels like 12. days. We okay, is there anything that you do. before you go on stage that like is a. non-negotiable you have to do it every. time before you go on stage? >> I don't really have a like a ritual my. ritual is like I get in me really like I. have a lot of. conversations with myself but something. that is super important is to get. together with the whole team.

musicians bands and everyone just to. connect really all of us. and be ready for the show cuz sometimes. when we don't do it like I have this. feeling if we don't connect before the. show people is going to feel that this. connection. >> What is the conversation you have with. yourself though before? What are you saying to yourself all day? >> I treat myself like a little hard. with a lot of yeah, a heart it's not in. a bad way but it's kind of uh. You know, there is like in my team for.

the the the building of the stage and. the music and every detail, we are like. more than 500 people. So, it's kind of. my face represented the hard work from. everyone. So, I have to take it with. responsibility. You know, it's not about. like just eating Of course, I want to. have fun, but it's my face that is going. to pop up there and show the hard work. from everyone. So, I have to be like. super. >> You're the leader. >> focused, exactly. It's. It's about that. >> Now that you know exactly what your show.
