“Karol G was told her dream was too big, that she was the wrong gender, and from the wrong place, to ever be a global star,” a synopsis of the documentary notes. “But only fools bet against a Bichota.”
The film traces Karol G’s beginnings in Medellín, Colombia along her journey to international stardom, including the release of chart-topping albums such as 2023’s Mañana Será Bonito (the first all-Spanish-language album by a woman to top the Billboard 200) and its accompanying record-breaking tour.
“I told the team, ‘I have this idea. Let’s do a stadium tour,’” she remembers in the trailer. “The first stadium tour by a Latin artist in history. And everyone started like, ‘Caro, no.’” Karol G’s instinct ultimately paid off, with her 65-date trek grossing $313.3 million and selling 2.3 million tickets to become the highest-grossing Latin tour of all time by a female artist.
“Since I was a child, people told me: ‘Karol, this dream is not for you,’” she adds in the trailer. Paired with exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and in-depth interviews with Karol G and those close to her, Karol G: Tomorrow Was Beautiful traces an entire career spent defying the odds to reach dizzying new heights.
“It’s a rare look at the unique determination, raw talent, and relentless work ethic that has launched Karol G to superstardom and paved a path for future generations of Latinas,” the synopsis concludes.

Olivia Rodrigo is keeping fans waiting for new music with waning levels of patience — and she’s having a little fun with it, too.
In a cheeky post on Instagram Monday (April 21), the pop star shared photos from her recent trip to Marakech, Morocco, and addressed the fact that her location of late is far from the one place her listeners would ideally like her to be: a recording booth. “everywhere but that damn studio,” Rodrigo teased in her caption.
The snaps find the Grammy winner smiling in front of a rose wall and posing in a colorful dress beside a pool. She also shared pictures of various trinkets she found while shopping on the streets of Morocco, as well as a video of a snake charmer performing in public.
Fans in the comments were happy to see that Rodrigo appears to be taking some time off, but many of them lovingly pushed back against her trolling, too. “Girl knows we’re desperate for that album,” one person wrote, while another fan replied, “get your rest queen but also GET IN THAT STUDIO!”

But while her vacation in Morocco might mean she’s not currently frequenting the studio, Rodrigo has previously given fans small hints that her third studio album is in the works. In March, for instance, the “Vampire” singer — whose Billboard 200-topping sophomore LP Guts arrived in September 2023 — posted a photo of a couple of keyboards in a studio space, as well as a snap of her holding an electric guitar.
She also told Billboard in October that she’s continued to compose music throughout her global Guts World Tour, which has been ongoing since February 2024. “Writing songs is really therapeutic for me, so I’m always noodling around making stuff even when I’m not in the studio making an album,” she said at the time.
“I’m definitely going to take a little vacation after this tour though!” she added. “I’m trying not to put too much pressure on anything right now.”
Rodrigo’s latest post comes just a few weeks after she headlined the biggest concert of her career so far, playing for roughly 65,000 people at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico earlier this month. The High School Musical: The Musical: The Series alum has spent a lot of time in Latin America this spring while on the Latin American leg of her Guts trek, during which she’s also performed at festivals in Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Colombia.
