Bruno Mars walked onto the SoFi Stadium stage without warning on Saturday night, and 70,000 people inside the venue realized they were no longer just an audience. They were extras.
KAROL G had told them as much moments earlier, when a message flashed across the stadium's screens announcing that the next song had never been performed live and that the crowd was about to help shoot its music video. What followed was the live debut of "Still," her duet with Mars from the newly released album "No Me Arrepiento De Sentir Tanto," according to Infobae, which reported that Mars appeared on stage to sing the collaboration live for the first time. The pair also performed "Risk It All," a track from Mars' 2026 album "The Romantic," according to KCH FM's coverage of the show. InfobaeKCH FM
KAROL G's Tropitour Hits Its Stride at SoFi Stadium
The Colombian singer, born Carolina Giraldo Navarro, has spent this year piling up stadium milestones. She headlined Coachella in April, becoming the first Latina artist to top that festival's bill, and the SoFi Stadium run continued that streak with three consecutive sold out shows in Inglewood, a run promoters describe as the next chapter in a career that has continued pushing into new territory. Saturday's concert was the second of those three nights, with a third scheduled for Sunday, as Infobae noted in its report on the collaboration. The tour, called "Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour," launched in late July at Chicago's Soldier Field and is booked into stadiums across North America, Latin America and Europe through 2027, according to Rolling Stone's coverage of the tour's scope.

"Still" arrives on an album KAROL G has described as her most personal to date. According to the artist, the record spans 14 songs across 43 minutes and marks her only fully English language track to date, a departure she teased in early August with an Instagram post reading, in part, that she does not regret feeling so much, the phrase that gives the album its title. Critics have noted the shift too. In a review of the tour's opening SoFi night, the Los Angeles Times described the show as a celebration of an artist using the run to mark her own achievements, at one point pausing to embrace a member of the venue's security staff mid-set.
Bruno Mars and KAROL G's First Official Collaboration
"Still" represents the first officially released pairing between KAROL G and Mars, a fact that gave Saturday's surprise added weight. The two acts occupy different corners of pop music, Mars rooted in soul influenced funk and R&B, KAROL G in reggaeton and Latin pop, and their pairing on a stripped down ballad stood out from the reggaeton heavy setlist built around her prior album, "Tropicoqueta." No release date has been announced for the "Still" music video shot during the performance, though the footage places thousands of SoFi Stadium attendees inside the final cut.
Mars, currently touring stadiums himself behind "The Romantic," has made a habit of dropping into other artists' shows this year. His appearance alongside KAROL G continues a run of surprise guest spots that have become a signature element of stadium tours generally and of KAROL G's shows specifically, where past stops have included unannounced sets from Becky G and J Balvin, according to Billboard's tracking of the tour's guest appearances.
The SoFi Stadium stand closes out Sunday night, the tour's third and final Inglewood date before it continues its stadium circuit into the fall. For an artist who spent this year adding Coachella and multiple stadium firsts to her résumé, the Bruno Mars appearance reads less like a one-off surprise and more like the latest entry in a run that shows no sign of slowing down.
