The Mañana Será Bonitoera will last forever. On Tuesday night, Karol G wrapped her yearlong, 62-show tour with four sold-out shows at Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, with its last show streaming live on YouTube.
“If there’s something beautiful this journey left me was learning to love myself, to value myself above what others think of me, because God made me this way for a reason. This tour helped me find my purpose, and it’s to help people to feel fully themselves,” Karol said onstage before playing “Ocean” from her second album. “I’m closing a chapter that meant so much, one that brought me so much happiness.”
“After everything, mañana fue muy bonito. Mañana fue hermoso,” she said, referring to the era’s title. “From my heart, I wish this for everyone. Put yourself ahead of everything else. Love yourself and believe in yourself. I love you guys for life.”
For the final show, Karol G opened the show with her iconic blue hair, changing her look from her last several shows. During the concert’s livestream, nearly a million people were tuned in at any given time. “After nearly 70 dates, this is going to be the most chimba night of my life,” Karol said on stage.
Before playing “Gatúbela,” Karol noticed a fan in the crowd with a sign. “Dios mio, what does that say? ‘Celebrating my mom’s divorce with La Bichota,'” Karol read, before performing her sexy track. “If you’re happy, I’m with you. You’re gorgeous, you’re stunning. Enjoy life and be happy! There’s going to be a long line waiting for you.”
The singer powered through songs from across her discography, before ending with a colorful run of songs such as ” Mientras Me Curo del Cora,” during which she paused mid-song to wipe away tears. Then she launched into “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido,” “Cairo,” and “200 Copas.” She closed her show with a medley of “Provenza,” the song’s Tiësto remix, and a remix of “Mañana Será Bonito.”
Though the final show had no guests, Karol surprised the crowd in Spain with several surprise cameos over the first four nights: During her second show in Madrid, on July 21, Karol was joined by Maia Montero, the former La Oreja de Van Gogh singer, for a duet of the classic hit “Rosas.” “I would say, without fear of being wrong, that Amaia Montero with Karol G is one of the best moments that Spanish musical culture has given us in recent years,” wrote a Spanish journalist on X, citing Montero’s return to stages in years.
That night, Dei V joined her for “Gatita Gangster” from Bichota Seasonand Sech also played “Dañamos La Amistad” with Karol. On Monday night, the third night, Tiësto joined the Colombian star to DJ “Don’t Be Shy” and “Contigo,” while Spanish pop star Bad Gyal also surprised the crowd, joining Karol for “Kármika.”
Throughout her final shows in Madrid, the singer had celebrities such as Sebastián Yatra, David Bisbal, Maria Pedraza, Aitana, and soccer players Sergio Ramos and Guillermo Ochoa in the crowd.
The run in Spain broke several touring records. Her four-night stop at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium broke the record held by Coldplay for the most tickets sold by any artist in Spain, after she sold 240,000 tickets, according to Live Nation.
Karol became the first female artist to sell out — and perform — four stadium shows in a row in Spain and also the first Latin female artist to perform at the stadium at all, per Live Nation. Across the European run, Karol sold more than 400,000 tickets. (She also broke numerous records with her Latin American run earlier this year.)
Mañana Será Bonito helped make Karol G a global artist, gracing the cover of Rolling Stone last year. The album featured massive hits such. as “Provenza,” “TQG” with Shakira, “Mientras Me Curo del Cora,” and “Amargura.” Mañana earned Karol the Latin Grammy for Album of the Year and Best Urban Music Album, along with the Grammy for Best Música Urbana Album. She followed Mañana with a B-side Bichota Season, which included collabs with Kali Uchis, Peso Pluma, and Ryan Castro.
