00:00 Shakira it's your first Met Gala! Thank you it's so lovely to see you how are you feeling?
00:04 So much excited this is different this is my first Met Gala I've been invited
00:09 before but it could never make it so I'm finally here and I'm excited to see so
00:13 many of my colleagues tonight. I love your song with Cardi B what was it like
00:19 with her rapping and singing in Spanish? Oh she's so good she's she's amazing in
00:24 Spanish as good as in English she's just so witty and ingenious and and and
00:33 humorous too you know she's got that sense of humor and I what I love about
00:37 her is that she's so unapologetic you know she doesn't ask for permission to
00:41 say what she has to say and to express herself and that is that is the ultimate
00:47 the ultimate woman of today you know. There's so many Latinos here you're here
00:52 I mean Penelope Cruz is here Bad Bunny and JLo are co-chairs what are your
00:56 thoughts on the... I can't wait to see her yeah. What are your thoughts on all the Latino
01:01 representation here? Well it's amazing right how how things have changed for us
01:05 like when I when I first started it was so hard you know there wasn't there
01:10 wasn't a real receptivity to our to Latin music and there were the
01:15 gatekeepers of like radio and and TV who were deciding who get played and who
01:20 wouldn't but now people decide and so many doors have opened for us Latinos
01:25 but yeah when I remember when I when I crossed over to to this market it was a
01:31 real challenge to get my music played on the radio you know yeah. You're selling
01:36 out tours what's one thing you can tease from your tour because we can't. Oh it's
01:40 gonna be the physical encounter between my my fans and me those fans and that
01:44 audience that has supported me so much through the good and bad
