Watch: Karol G's 'Tomorrow Will Be Beautiful' documentary trailer released
Karol G has revealed a heartfelt trailer for her upcoming Netflix documentary, Tomorrow Will Be Beautiful, set to premiere on May 8. The trailer, which Karol shared on her social media, offers an emotional glimpse into her journey, showcasing clips from her Mañana Será Bonito stadium tour. In the trailer, Karol reflects on her early struggles, recalling how people once told her, "This dream isn't for you." She also highlights the challenges faced by women in reggaeton, with an anonymous male voice narrating, "It's no secret how rare it is to see a woman in the reggaeton genre." Karol G has shattered barriers for Latin women in the entertainment industry. Not only is she the first woman to win a Grammy and Latin Grammy for Best Urban Music Album with Mañana Será Bonito, but she also made history as the first female artist to top the Billboard 200 chart with the album. Her global success also led her to become the first Latina to headline a global stadium tour, cementing her legacy in the music world. Directed by Cristina Costantini (Mucho Mucho Amor), the documentary is produced by This Machine, Interscope Films, and Bichota Films, with R.J. Cutler, Elise Pearlstein, Trevor Smith, and others credited as producers. Interscope executives Nir Seroussi and John Janick, alongside Margaret Yen and Mark Blatty, serve as executive producers. Karol's recent hit single, 'Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido,' released in June, became a global sensation, earning her an 18th No. 1 on Billboard's Latin radio chart. She now ranks as the second woman with the most No. 1s on Latin radio, only behind Shakira, who has 24. Tomorrow Will Be Beautiful is set to offer fans an intimate look at Karol G's rise to stardom and her impact on the music industry.
