Karol G celebrates Latin women and a new career era in her new single “Latina Foreva” out Thursday (May 22) via Bichota Records.

Marking her first official release of the year, the vibrant track — produced by Mazzarri and Misha, and co-written by Karol and Daniela “La Guru” Aponte — blends an early 2000s reggaetón sound with pop melodies, bursting with energetic rhythm and the artist’s signature confidence and cultural pride.

The conceptual music video, directed by Pedro Artola (“Provenza,” “TQG,” “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido”), captures the Colombian artist and a group of beautiful ladies at the snowy Mammoth Lakes in California—best showcasing the heat Latinas take wherever they go.

Karol G first teased the new music on Wednesday (May 21) with a NSFW photo. “New single, new era,” she captioned the sensual nude pic, while also using orange-colored emojis that represent her new look and natural, brown locks. In her previous musical eras, Karol was associated with the colors soft pink, bright red, and an electric blue.

“The track honors her musical roots while pushing her sound into daring new territory, marking a dynamic new chapter in her evolution as an artist,” reads an official statement.

“Latina Foreva” comes on the heels of Karol’s self-reflection ballad “Milagros,” part of her Netflix documentary Tomorrow Was Beautiful. Singing about her real-life miracles and blessings, “Milagros” earned the artist her first No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Pop Songs chart-dated May 24, after its first full tracking week.

Bad Bunny Reveals His Big Summer Plans in ‘SNL’ Promos: ‘Doing Awesome Stuff’

Bad Bunny is ready to take summer by storm, but first, he’s performing as the musical guest during the season finale of Saturday Night Live this weekend.

In promos for the May 17 finale of season 50 shared on Thursday (May 15), the superstar appears alongside host Scarlett Johansson and SNL mainstay Kenan Thompson, with the trio hilariously discussing their plans during the show’s summer hiatus.

“Umm…I guess just doing awesome stuff,” Bad Bunny replies after Thompson asks what he’ll be up to during the summer months. “Oh, yeah? Like what?” Johansson follows up, to which the three-time Grammy winner answers, “Just awesome stuff, don’t worry about it. My life is awesome, especially in summer.”

That evasive answer wasn’t good enough for Thompson, who couldn’t resist doubling down and asking for just a single example of all the awesome things Bad Bunny plans on doing. The Calvin Klein model’s admittedly awesome answer? “Eating breakfast for dinner.”

An earlier segment features Johansson excitedly positing that the season finale will be even bigger, better and longer than the recent SNL50 anniversary special — much to the chagrin of Thompson, who points out that the NBC celebration was “like nine hours, so…”

Only when the Black Widow actress suggests that the episode could be more star-studded than SNL50 does the “DTMF” rapper step in to take Thompson’s side, chiding, “Now you’re just being unrealistic.” (“Yeah, what Bad Bunny said,” Thompson amusingly seconds.)

The SNL stint arrives at a rather fortuitous time for Bad Bunny, whose latest album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, just bounced back to the apex of the Billboard 200 following its vinyl release.

Watch Bad Bunny riff on the awesomeness of summer vacation ahead of this weekend’s SNL finale below.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The list features only U.S. tours by Latin music artists and is updated on a regular basis. Tours will be removed from the list once they have ended.

2024 was a phenomenal year for the Latin touring industry, where five Latin acts — Luis Miguel, Bad Bunny, Karol G, RBD and Aventura — grossed more than $100 million, up from one in 2023 and two in 2022. Billboard reported in December that Latin artists are responsible for 16% of the year’s top 100 touring grosses, more than ever before.

This year, Luis Miguel topped Billboard’s Highest-Grossing Latin Tours of the Year list, grossing $290.4 million across 128 shows, according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore. Following El Sol de México’s trek is Bad Bunny’s Most Wanted tour, grossing $211.4 million across 49 concerts. Both tours ranked top 10 on the overall Billboard Year-End Top Tours of 2024 list — the former at No. 4 and the latter at No. 9 — alongside artists such as Coldplay, The Rolling Stones and Madonna, to name a few.

Now, 2025 is already shaping up to be another great touring year for Latin music.

Already announced for the new year are Shakira’s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran stadium trek kicking off in the spring; Rauw Alejandro’s Cosa Nuestra World Tour beginning in North America; and Nathy Peluso’s first-ever U.S. run in honor of her album Grasa. Mexican band Camila and Colombian tropi-pop artist Gusi have also secured tours in the U.S.

Below, see our updating list of Latin tours that have already been announced for 2025.
