\n\t\u201cI forgot to wear the knee pads,\u201d<\/strong> Karol\u00a0G<\/a> says ruefully. \u201cI\u2019m going to have scrapes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe beams. For a soaking wet pop star who has just been dragged through a shallow pool, Karol looks remarkably happy.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tKarol G: Photos From the Billboard Cover\u00a0Shoot\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tMoments before, a group of writhing, shirtless male dancers had lifted Karol, dressed in a white bikini and transparent baggy pants, high above the water as she performed a medley of songs from her unprecedented past year in music, including material from her chart-topping February album, Ma\u00f1ana Ser\u00e1 Bonito<\/em>; the edgier August follow-up, Ma\u00f1ana Ser\u00e1 Bonito (Bichota Season)<\/em>; and a small teaser of her new single with Kali Uchis, \u201cLabios Mordidos.\u201d Her arms knifed back-and-forth through the pool in fierce synchronicity with her platoon of dancers \u2014 all water-drenched sexiness, but a punishing physical routine nonetheless. After Karol dries off, wrings out her pants and gets her glam touched up, she\u2019ll do it all over again.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI want it to be spectacular,\u201d she says matter-of-factly of the roughly four-minute Billboard Latin Music Awards performance. To that end, she enlisted renowned choreographer Parris Goebel, whose work includes Rihanna\u2019s Super Bowl halftime show performance, to continue pushing her as a dancer. \u201cDance doesn\u2019t come so easy to me,\u201d Karol admits. \u201cTo do the things I do, I have to rehearse a lot.\u201d Earlier this year, Goebel choreographed Karol\u2019s MTV Video Music Awards performance.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cShe understands what I want to express in my movements, and also, she gets something out of me that I\u2019m still in the process of understanding,\u201d Karol says. \u201cI\u2019ve learned a lot about myself this year. Even though it would seem I\u2019ve arrived at a point where I could relax and let things run, life keeps showing me that I\u2019ve still got a lot of things to do, a lot of things to give.\u201d<\/p>\n
