Karol G is at the peak of her career, having become one of the most relevant figures in music with albums like «Mañana Será Bonito» and «Bichota Season.» This recognition is not only due to her impressive numbers and sold-out shows (including all four dates at the Santiago Bernabéu for her July concert) but also the accolades she’s receiving. After winning several Latin Grammy awards and a Grammy, Karol G has now been honored as Woman of the Year by Billboard.
On Wednesday, March 6, the Colombian artist attended the Billboard Women in Music ceremony in Inglewood, California, to be crowned Woman of the Year. It marked the first time the publication selected a Latina woman singing in Spanish as the most relevant voice of the year—a remarkable achievement.

During the ceremony, where other notable artists like Young Miko, Victoria Monet, Ice Spice, and Kylie Minogue were also honored, Karol G shared the stage with another queen of 2000s music, Katy Perry.
The Californian, dressed in a stunning red ensemble while receiving her Executive of the Year award, took the opportunity to express admiration for the Woman of the Year.
Katy Perry, known for her genuine nature, stated, «There are incredible women here tonight. I’m excited to meet some of them for the first time. I’m very excited to meet Karol G. I’m a big fan. And I’m really here as a fan.»
Undoubtedly, the meeting between the two artists took place during the gala, although as of Thursday, March 7, the broadcast of the event by Billboard has not yet taken place. Currently, no images of the two stars together have been released, but it’s certain that Katy Perry had the chance to meet Karol.
Katy Perry Speaks About Upcoming Music
In a previous announcement in February, Katy Perry revealed that this would be her final season on the popular American music show, American Idol. The Santa Barbara native confirmed her decision to step away from the program to focus on other projects, emphasizing her priority in the industry as a musician.
When asked by Billboard reporters if this decision was to concentrate on releasing new music, Katy responded, «My priority in the industry is to be a musician. I need to create a space to sort everything out and have the freedom to create. I’m very excited and nervous about what’s to come this year.»
