Karol G didn’t just win Song of the Year at the 2025 Latin Grammys.
She delivered the speech of the night.

Her Dominican-merengue hit “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” topped charts across the Americas this year — and now it’s officially one of the year’s most celebrated songs. But when Karol stepped onstage to accept the award, the moment became about something bigger than trophies or accolades.

It became about self-worth, criticism, and the courage to keep going.

🌺 A Win Filled With Gratitude — and Love for Her Peers

Karol kicked off her speech by saluting every artist in the category, calling it an honor to share the nomination with them. She gave a special shoutout to Argentine duo CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso for their track “#Tetas,” saying the song “warmed her heart.”

Then she asked the Academy not to cut her off — because she had something important to say.

💬 Karol G Opens Up About the Pressure and the Hate

In one of the most candid moments of the night, Karol addressed the criticism she faced this year after releasing her album Tropicoqueta.

“Lately, everyone has an opinion… what you should do, what you should like, how you should dress,” she said.
“I started to feel like nothing I was doing was good… like I was losing my magic.”

Karol admitted she went through a strange and difficult time emotionally, feeling the noise of criticism louder than ever. The solution?
Returning to her purpose.

“The only thing left for me was to go back to the root… I do this because I love it, because I like it, because I was born for this.”

🌟 An Inspiring Message for Anyone Doubting Themselves

Karol then turned her message outward — speaking directly to young people watching at home.

“There are so many people who think they’re not good enough or professional enough to do what they want. Forget the world, forget the noise… Love and passion over talent.”

With her voice steady and emotional, Karol reminded fans that obsession, passion, and authenticity matter more than perfection.
