Mexican-American artist Becky G performed at the iconic Fillmore in Miami for the first time as the opening act for Austin Mahone. Ten years later, she returned, not only as a famous artist but also with the backing of media giant Verizon.
For Becky, this is a full-circle moment and a step forward in her journey, reflecting on growing up and finding her “voice as a woman.”
Ahead of her sold-out show, Becky spoke exclusively to ENSTARZ ¡Latinos! and Latin Times. “It’s so special to be at an iconic venue like The Fillmore. I’ve never been here before. I’m so grateful to have my own show in the same place I opened for an artist MTV (Mahone) when I was 15 years old.” Later I also opened for Jose (J Balvin). So I’m really happy to be here,” she shared.
Earlier that day, Becky attended the Leading Ladies of Latin Music awards, part of Latin Grammy week. Reflecting on her decades-long journey, she describes it as “a labor of love”.
This milestone also celebrates her latest album, *Encuentros*, the most ambitious project of her career. It marks the culmination of her exploration of her Mexican roots, which began with her previous album, ‘Esquinas.’
“It’s a huge effort. A project like this takes money, emotions, energy, intention and time. But for me, it’s worth it – the time, the passion, the stories and everything into my art and music,” she said. “And I had so much fun. You can feel it in the music,” she added.
That energy resonates in her concerts—an explosion of talent, love and pride. The show was filled with tears, laughter, and a strong connection between Becky and the audience, who witnessed her growth.
“Obviously, people have seen me grow over the years. As an artist, I’ve explored many different genres. But going back to my roots to create Mexican music inspired by My childhood, family and culture are different,” Becky said. explain.

Becky was the first non-urban artist to collaborate with Bad Bunny on ‘Mayores’ and the first mainstream artist to collaborate with Peso Pluma, even bringing him to Coachella for their hit ‘Chanel’ two last year.
With characteristic humility, Becky downplays her role in their success. “I’m just a fan of music—all kinds of music. I discovered them in the underground music scene. I’m a fan of theirs, so it was like a collaboration,” she explains. an exchange”.
Spotlighting the next Latin music stars
‘Encuentros’ features four collaborations, including ‘Besándote’ with Oscar Ortiz, Gerardo Ortiz’s younger brother, and ‘Mercedes’ with Óscar Maydon, who is currently leading the Mexican regional charts.
Both artists are currently creating important spaces in the industry.
When asked about the next big star, Becky’s eyes lit up when she mentioned Tito Doble P, Peso Pluma’s cousin, with whom she collaborated on *Crisis*. “Tito is a monster—Game Over,” she said enthusiastically. “The song wouldn’t be the same without him.”
However, her weakness is for Delilah. “That girl is such a joy. She reminds me so much of myself when I started. She’s definitely the next big thing,” Becky said with pride.
Partnered with Verizon for Latino fans
Becky G’s passion for her roots and her fans shines throughout her tour, a quality that makes her the ideal partner for Verizon. The company’s *Verizon Access Concert Series* aims to connect with Latino audiences, offering exclusive experiences instead of conventional performances. Becky’s concerts in this series exemplify this vision.
“Obviously I’m on tour, but with Verizon, I get to create more meaningful experiences for my fans that aren’t just like a regular show. I think we’ve crush it,” she said—and they did.
