My real name is Carolina,

A
The first Latina headliner. Hey, daddy gang. Welcome back to part two of this very special Carol G. Coachella episode. I just got to Coachella. I'm backstage. I'm about to go hang out with Carol G. And I'm so, so, so excited for you to see this episode. Before we get into it, if you have not watched part one of this series, you have to pause and you need to go watch that. In episode one, Carol G shared her story of being a teenager growing up in Colombia and then getting to where she is today, headlining Coachella. Now, in this episode, Carol is going to talk about her creative inspiration and just the whole process that went into putting this Coachella set together. Before we kick off Coachella with Carol G, we're going to take it back to the studio so you can hear from her what went into this set. Let's get into it. What is up, daddy gang? It is your founding father, Alex Cooper with Call Her Daddy. I know that you performed at Coachella in 2022. Now, four years later, yes, you are headlining, and it's very well deserved. But where were you when you found out, like, who called you? What was your reaction?
- [04:50]
B
I'm a loud person. I'm a very loud person. I love to scream. I love to. I think I'm a very loud person. But actually, this one got me, like, super different. Like, my. My sister called me. My sister. She's my sister, and at the same time, she's my manager. And she called me, and I was, like, completely shocked because I think right now I feel so, so special that I have the opportunity to be in this generation that is changing the narrative for our Latina culture. Super important for me. And when she called me and she told me, like, okay, they want you to be the headliner that that is going to close the festival. Because I have Sunday. So I close the festival, and it's the first time they're gonna have, like, a Latina women in Spanish being a headliner. So it felt heavy. You know, it's kind of like, crazy. So at that moment, I was, like, kind of little shocked. I got this silent moment, and I was like, okay, let's do it. We were talking at the time, we were talking about starting the tour, but then I was like, let's stop everything and let's just focus about this, because this is huge. And I really want my community to feel proud, and I really want the world to feel that I was ready for this huge opportunity.
- [06:12]
A
How did you begin to come up with what you wanted this message to be?
- [06:16]
B
It's a mix of things, I think in my whole career, like, I have had the craziest experiences, good ones, very bad ones, things that I just feel that I shouldn't live at that time. And because of that, I just feel that I need to speak for women in so many different reasons. So, yeah, there is still, like the message of my community. We're fighting for rights, but at the same time, there's so many different battles that we have to still keep fighting for. And so I was like thinking how I can put all of these things together and make it work and make it still like, it's a show, it's a concert, you know, so that was the hardest part to get in. And we had like five or six different. We started from something, then it becomes something different. Then it like. And at the end, like, wow, we just built. For me, it's kind of. I love it. I'm very hard on myself. And to have a show that I love, love, love, made me feel like, very confident about the show that we have.
- [07:33]
A
I just am so impressed because I think, listen, we've seen people go up there and have fun at Coachella, perform their songs, and then we have seen people make statements, whether it was right, political, or whether it was to represent their community or it was about. Yes, like gender, whatever it be, and the fact that you have two huge things on your shoulders, right. You're trying to speak up for women and. And you're also trying to speak up for your community. That is a lot like I think about it. This year we had the Bad Bunny super bowl, and this is on the Bad Bunny Super Bowl. Yes, it was his Super Bowl.
- [08:08]
B
Yeah.
- [08:09]
A
We've got you headlining. Like, what impact do you hope to see from this massive moment that Latin music is having in American culture right now?
- [08:20]
B
I just feel like to have the opportunity to change people minds, it's the most important. Is it still, like things. They're still like, running by different people, that I don't know how much we can change that. But at least what I love the most is to see how people, for example, from here, they're fighting for us. And that's what means everything. Because it's about that. It's about love. It's kind of we're here in this world that is pushing us to be separated in all the ways possible. And when human, they got this empathy. And when humans understand why we are here, that we are all a community. I know it's Latinos, it's Europeans, but at the end, we're us in here in this world. It's kind of a. It's humanity. So I just feel that when you see that people is open their eyes and understanding that we have to do something together that's going to make the voice louder. And that's what we need to. To get together and speak for everyone at the same time.
- [09:28]
A
And in a really powerful way. I feel like something that has always prevailed and risen up is music unites people. Music is this thing that no matter what is going on in the world, it is something that can bring us all together. So kudos to you for doing that. Okay. Talking a little bit more about Coachella, because now I'm like, obviously, weekend one happened. We're going into weekend two. Can you tell us a little bit about, like, once you decided on this vision? You're like, I need to represent my community. I want to speak up for women. How did you even think about, like, the set design and the set list and the costumes?
- [10:07]
B
Okay, that's a good one. Because as I said before, like, we had, like, seven different options and not options, because we started from these, and then I feel like I like these, but I don't feel yet what I visualize for this moment. And then we move to here, and we just. Until the moment we got to what we presented. Okay. So I wanted, of course, to represent where I come from. I am from Colombia. I'm a Colombiana, and I'm Latina, and I'm human in this world. And so I can represent how I can represent, like, my culture not being. I wanted to go deep. So what existed before the aesthetic of Latinos? You know, like, this colorful world? We're really extra. We are full of beautiful, different, even cultures in our culture. Because there's Mexican, Colombians, Peruvian, like, everything. And we're from different places, and we have our different things. So how I can represent everything, but in a way that people can understand, because I want the world to understand who we are. And at the same time, like, speaking about women, I read a book seven years ago. Las Mujeres Corencolo Lobos is the name in English is Women that run with wolves. I think is the meaning. And the book is so beautiful because the book tells you and Explain you how women were respected in, like, years ago. We're going to. We're talking about, like, primitive.
- [11:42]
A
Yep, the OG days.
- [11:44]
B
Yes, exactly.
- [11:46]
A
All the socialization and society built, like, all the way back to the very, very beginning.
- [11:50]
B
Exactly. Women were exactly so women at that time. We were wild. You know, everyone was wild at that time. And it was all about intuition, spirituality, like, the realness that it is in our energy, in our bodies. And I find always, like, the energy of women, like, the most inspiring thing for me. Like, I love men because I love them, but when I feel something that inspires me a lot, most of the times it comes from women. Exactly. From women. So when I read that book, I was, like, so surprised how they used to be the leader of the tribes and everything because of all the energy, you know, even because of their sensuality, the energy, the powerful mind, the power of the body, and then society, structure, system, they just have been taking that out from us. So I was like, that's a good start to thinking about the stage, to thinking about where I want to put the people, like, when they see the show, where we gonna be? So we're gonna be in that specific time when women, they just were powerful because of their inner mind, their inner feelings, their, like, wildness that is so powerful and so beautiful. And I want to put the people in that specific time, and I want everyone in that space, even women, more feeling that powerful energy. You know, you. You can be big, feeling intelligent and smart, brilliant, but you can feel, like, intelligent and smart and brilliant. Feeling sexy. Hot mamacita. Why not? And I want to put that wildness in all the show. So we have, like, one, two, three, like, four different stages as the people. So we have four different stages that this kind of this world where we live in, that, for me, would be the perfect world for women to be free.
- [14:02]
A
Women are going to be going feral. Like, I can't. I can't explain even just you sitting in this chair, how, like, it has me getting hyped because I'm like, this is what we need right now. So then when you go out on stage, do you ever get nervous that you're gonna get choked up and emotional, or do you just go right into performer mode and you just have to, like, black out the emotions? Because this is pretty emotional, Carol.
- [14:28]
B
Literally the most emotional person that you're gonna have sitting in this chair. Like, I cried for everything. Like, happiness, sadness, and everything. I think with the time, I've been trying to control it a little more because you understand that sometimes I want to be super genuine and honest with my feelings. But sometimes you realize that there's specific places where people is going to be hard on you because you feel real. So I'm trying to taking care of myself with those things. But I'm super emotional. It happens to me. And actually I love my fans because they gave me the confidence that I needed to be open with one of my albums. I did that album in a specific moment in my life where I was really broke everything in me. And then when I had to put like an album, it was like a. Like it songs that I just were like doing just too little feelings. And then when I put all those songs together, then I put that album out because, okay, you have an album. It becomes something that I understood people needed like a voice, you know, someone that speaks about realness and real feelings. So after that, like, I feel comfortable. I know they call me crier. They call me like I'm like a kid. They call me like I'm immature and everything. And girl, yeah, I just feel that I have the most beautiful memories of my childhood and the way I used to feel at that time and the way I used to have relationship with people. And yeah, I didn't grow up. Like, I still want to be there and I'm still that girl.
- [16:17]
A
I. And there should be no shame though. It's like being emotional about things that you love. That's what we live for, right? Like to actually be affected by those things and to feel it so deeply like, that is. That is beautiful. Call her Daddy's. Brought to you by Airbnb. Matt and I get so busy with work that we always are like, okay, we need to at least prioritize time away, whether it's just the two of us or for something with our family. And that is where Airbnb has been so clutch for us. I really highly recommend guys, as you start to shake off winter and plan some fun spring trips, one of the easiest things you can do is book your stay on Airbnb. Get the space, amenities, and location you need to make your stay fun, seamless and comfortable. Matt and I always like to make sure that wherever we book, we have a little yard for Henry and Bruce. Because we literally don't leave our dogs. We always bring them. We want them to see the world. Okay? And so it's so fun to always be able to bring our dogs to pet friendly places. These are things that you can look for, whatever amenity you're looking for. Maybe it's a hot tub, maybe it's a big kitchen, you name it. Airbnb has all of the things you need. Whether you need a place for extended family or somewhere charming and exciting for you. And a plus one, you'll find all kinds of options to help make the perfect trip on Airbnb. Call Her Daddy is brought to you by Haagen Dazs. Okay, it is so important to take some me time. You know what I mean, guys? So take your sweet time and enjoy rich, smooth, creamy ice cream from Haagen Dazs. Because honestly, when was the last time you actually slowed down and let yourself have a moment for you? You have to try their new cherry dark chocolate bar. Guys, picture rich cherry ice cream with tart cherry ribbons coated in thick dark chocolate. Are you kidding me? I'm drooling. Are you drooling yet? No, seriously, this is the kind of thing you don't just eat, you experience it, okay? Haagen Dazs elevated crafted ice cream is always meant to be savored. So whatever flavor you choose, slow down and enjoy each bite. Seriously, it's too good to rush. I grew up with Haagen Dazs in my house. Every single night, my family and I would eat our favorite flavors. I'm obsessed with the cherry dark chocolate bar. Those flavors together. I couldn't be happier. I'm gonna watch my favorite TV shows, and I'm gonna be eating that. Boom, Done. Take your sweet time. That's Daz. Available at retailers nationwide. How did you decide for yourself of just, like, what you wanted to look for when it came to filling that stage with people?
- [18:50]
B
Okay. With the guests? I started, like, with different feelings because, okay, I'm gonna be a headliner. There's something special that happens just in Coachella, you know, but at the same time, I wanted just to have the people that if I gonna put a song on the show and I have a guest, like, on the song, like, I just want to bring them on stage because they're part of the success. So I don't. I don't sit, like, in. In my chair thinking, okay, what would be the greatest guest for the show? To. I don't know. To touch someone? No, no. For me, it was about who are the ones that I feel their song to perform their song on. This show is going to make a moment very special for my fans, and I'm gonna bring them on stage. So it was about that. And actually, for one of the moments, specifically talking about the Latina culture, I want to bring someone that has made, like, a statement for life. You know, a legacy, a pioneer of what we do and why we're here. And that said, it was so.
- [20:10]
A
I love it. I'm so happy for you. Okay. Speaking of your fans, you reference them. They obviously are obsessed with you, but your fans wear bright blue and red wigs to your shows, and they are very, very, very invested in the different colors that you dye your hair. Can you walk me through each of your hair color eras and what they represented in your life at the time?
- [20:38]
B
Okay. When I was at school, my mom, she was super open with the idea of me dyeing my hair in different colors. I didn't do it with a chemical in the chemical way, but I don't know if, you know, there is, like, a paper that you use to pack presents that they have. Like, if you put in hot water, it like, just put, like, the. The water in the color. And I used to pull, like, my hair there, and I got, like, this little blue or the little. It was like a touch. It wasn't that hard as I did. So when I was in. We were in. In Covid time, and we were this locked, and I was like, okay, this is. I don't have interviews. I don't have, like, shows. I don't have nothing. I really want to be back in this love that I feel for colors in the hair. So the first one was blue. I am a very colorful girl, and when I say colorful, it's not all the time colorful. It's because I see colors. I see everything in colors. Like, I see feelings in colors. So sometimes I'm with someone and I'm just talking, and I'm like, alex, like, what I feel for you is pink. And I say that, like, I don't know about. What I'm feeling right now with you is pink. And sometimes the song for the show, it has to be yellow. And everyone is like, but it's not kind of like black. And I'm like, no, for me, it feels yellow. So let's put the visualizers and everything in yellow. So I don't know, but I see everything in colors. So my soul at that time was feeling blue. So I just put my hair blue. And I tried to explain to people why it was blue. And I think my fans, they just got this as I'm feeling blue too. So they put their hair in blue. And the crazy thing is, I never asked for. They started, like, coming to the shows with their hair blue, and they came to the show at Coachella with the hair blue, and it was like this. This was this crazy picture about the crowd with this little group of people with the hair blue. And I was like, I love them so much. And then I was so scared to change the color, but I wasn't feeling blue anymore. But in that specific time where you're healing, there is a rebellion moment. You don't come from this to the healing. There is a part of you that is tired, that it's kind of, you know, it's rebellion.
- [23:10]
A
It's, like, fiery.
- [23:11]
B
Exactly. So it's someone that I start thinking, like, fuck it. Like, you know, that's it. Like, please. So that's red for me. So I put my hair red, and I was. I remember that I was in Santorini and I put my hair red, and I was like, how do I show this to the world? Like, I don't know. I don't know if I'm going to lose my fandom because they just notice me with these blue hair. Okay, just a video on Instagram. Poop. I'm with the red hair right now. And people got crazy with it. So the next time, like, I just. The next day, like, videos on TikTok and everywhere, like, people going to the salon to change the hair from blue to red. And I was like, oh, my God. Okay. That's crazy. My Vans are crazy.
- [24:03]
A
It's so intense.
- [24:04]
B
We have a really toxic relationship with my pants. I have a toxic relationship because we go hard.
- [24:13]
A
You go really hard.
- [24:14]
B
So always with me, they have my tattoo. They have this tattoo. Like, most of them, I have this tattoo that represent friendship. And they. All of them, they got.
- [24:24]
A
This is like a full codependent relationship.
- [24:26]
B
So then wait, because I was with this red hair, and then when you heal, actually, you feel less heavy. You feel. Everything feels effortless, and everything is just about, like, chill, you know? You're kind of understanding at the time. Now I know how I was feeling that way. Now I understand why I was with this red idea of this toughness that I needed to be here right now. So it was pink. So for me, that era was pink. And I knew at that time, like, if I put my red and pink, my fans were about to do it, like, too. So I put my hair pink. And then next day, videos, my fans, like, please, Carol, stop, bitch, because you're gonna make my hair and my. Even my wallet liter.
- [25:21]
A
They're like, babe, my hair is falling out of my head. I was with you from the blue. Then I was okay for the red. Now we're going to pink. I'm going to have no hair.
- [25:28]
B
And Actually, when I was about to come back to my natural color with highlights, but to my natural color. How? It's crazy. I was crazy about the idea to have it, like, orange.
- [25:40]
A
No.
- [25:40]
B
Yeah. But then I was, like, more conscious about, like, my fans, you know? Like, let's. Let's have a moment. Let's have a moment to just heal. Let her in the hair, too. Exactly. Now I healed.
- [25:53]
A
Carol, if you went orange, I think your fans would have been like, I've got, like, three strands of hair left, girl. Okay.
- [25:59]
B
I'm gonna put these three little hairs that I have left in orange because. Yeah. But maybe just one day I can be back.
- [26:08]
A
Okay, so now we're gonna wait to see if you dye your hair again, because now I'm stressed.
- [26:13]
B
I would love to.
- [26:15]
A
Okay.
- [26:15]
B
I will love to. Like, always, like, fashionable people is always like, girl, with your natural color hair, everything looks more elevated and this and that. Like, I don't really care, like, a lot about it, so maybe I just wake up one day and you're having fun and it's done.
- [26:32]
A
I love it. Okay. Being a Sunday headliner, Ms. Carol G. Are you gonna be able to catch anyone else's sets, or are you, like, way too busy rehearsing for all of your stuff?
- [26:45]
B
I would love to go. Like, actually, I'm still a fan girl, you know, And. And I would love to go to some shows. So maybe for the second weekend I'm gonna be around.
- [26:56]
A
So first weekend you'll lock in?
- [26:57]
B
Yeah.
- [26:58]
A
Second weekend you may go see who.
- [27:01]
B
Yeah, like, I don't know, but for sure. I really want to see Justin show. It's long, long time he haven't been on stage. And I had the opportunity to meet him at Super Bowl. We were in the same, like, Sweden. We talk a lot about, like, what does this mean for us? And actually his show at the Grammys for me, I loved it how he was, like, in his, like, bed short with his guitar on it, just, like, creating the instrumental right there. Like, it was so honest and so pure, and so. I don't know. For me, it has a really big meaning, the show like that. So maybe I'm going to go to that one. I would love to go to see Sabrina's, of course, because I think I want to. I want the people to feel that this is our year. It's not like, about, like, every single year, we see these different artists that are going to be there, but I want the people to feel that this year is about all of us. And I want to be for Some, like, some of them, I can be in all of them, but I would love to be in a lot of them.
- [28:10]
A
No, it's beautiful. As you were speaking about, obviously, your Coachella set is so focused on celebrating your culture. What do you wish more people understood about Colombia?
- [28:27]
B
O beautiful. You nailed it with that question because you said it specific about Colombia. And Colombia is a country that grew from a lot of disaster, from a lot of suffering. My country, it's the most beautiful country you ever going to see. Because when people go there, they notice, like, we literally, a beautiful country is rich in biodiversity, in animals and different species of fauna, in flora, in Spanish. And the people we are like, day we grew up, like, with attitude is everything, everything. Even the person in the worst situation, there's always waking up at 4am in the morning saying, diocito. God, this is going to be the day, even in the worst situation. So when you meet people in Colombia, you're going to feel the most. A big hug from everyone. And speaking about that and about, like, the strength and the spirit that as a Colombian, we have, My country has a beautiful future and an opportunity to be an amazing, grown country. We just need the right people to lead the country, you know, So I just very proud of my country, of the culture that represent my country, the music, the artists that have been representing our flag from all over the places. That's a good thing. And you're going to go and you're going to see how beautifully our country has grown from all of the pain and all of the hard times. It's just amazing.
- [30:12]
A
It is amazing. And I think that's what is so important right now to be speaking about culture and people and what connects us, because we all are so connected in a way that it feels, as of recent, we've been made to feel divided and we've been made to feel like other. And I think through your music and through your work and through other artists and other people, like, the more we talk about how we are connected and you speaking about your culture in such a beautiful way, like, not that you have to educate people, but it is so important that people like you are able to tell people who you are, where you've come from, how proud you are, because it is a really scary time in this country. And I think what you're doing is so beautiful. And I can't wait for the world to see this Coachella set, because to even hear that you've infused so much of that love and that culture and your background into it, that's Something the world needs to see. And I love that you've brought it here.
- [31:15]
B
Thank you. And you know what? Like, just to add something, like a little thing, because I can understand that sometimes people think that what we're doing as a Latinos is kind of a trend. It can become something that they come again with their message. Of course, we have. In a situation, we come like, we're going through a lot of. I'm not gonna say me, but there is a lot of people that is going through a lot of hard things in this country. And it's our responsibility to speak about, but when we do it, we do it like, as a welcoming way. You know, we're not saying, like, we're this and you're not part of this. No, we're saying, like, we're Latinos. We need to speak about from like, our culture, our. How this community has helped grow this country too. And we're this. We're like fabulous people. We're like a hard worker people with the most beautiful spirit. And you're welcome to join us as a community. We're not taking no one, like, out of the situation.
- [32:17]
A
It's beautiful. And can you talk a little bit just about your foundation that you have back home in Medine?
- [32:24]
B
Concorda. Concorda is my foundation. I think, like, we grew up like, going to these different, like ancient, like old places with viejitos and, and, and for children and everything. That's something that my parents, they put us since we were like, little girls. And I think when I grew up, like, I think everything needs to have like, a circle. It's not just for me, for me, for me, it has to keep, like, circling. And with the, with the foundation, we worked a lot, even in my country, that is a beautiful country, but we like it. We need a lot of opportunities for the people, education and support and someone that sees what the ones that need to see, they don't see. But actually, like, for me, it's so beautiful that all the fans that follows me and go to my shows and they just listen to my music. They. They're part of this changing situation. They're being part of this foundation too. So I'm very grateful. I love to keep, like, moving forward with things and, and, and that's what I actually, what I feel that as my, My purpose. Purpose in, in the life is that I'm this blessed because I have, like, a mission. And I'm just making sure that is our mission. All of the people that follows me and we did this work and so beautiful. So special.

What do you mean you're sewing? Is this what you do? When are you like.
- [37:33]
B
No, no, no. It's my first time doing this for her. Like, I like to do things, but like I'm trying to installize a little bit her things because she came with a Mickey Mouse something and I was like, mom, my mom brought her with a Mickey Mouse something. And I was like, the look is zero Coachella and it's less dirty tropical PETA.
- [37:57]
A
How are you feeling?
- [37:59]
B
Crazy. Like, I don't know. It's. It's. My feelings are like I'm kind of happy, proud. I have a. I feel a lot of nostalgia, of course, but it's not healthy.
- [38:14]
A
Like, it's like a little good nerves.
- [38:16]
B
It's good nerves, but it's feels unhealthy. It feels like a lot of pressure. Like the day when we rehearsed, like, of course we just. And we went to Las Vegas and we just built a full stage there and it was amazing. But here we were like, we built the station in the level of the. Of the floor, but here is in the level of the stage. So it got like massive and, and the scale of the. The. The stage, you see that huge. And it has three levels. So I'm on top and I see everyone down there and. Okay, I got nervous.
- [38:51]
A
Feels real.
- [38:51]
B
Yeah, this feels real. After that, it is like I got these special nerves that they feel a little hard.
- [38:59]
A
What did you do today?
- [39:01]
B
I woke up really early. I trained. Then I did like two hours and a half of my singing class because I really want my vocals be on the point for today. And then I got here like at 11:30 or something.
- [39:15]
A
11:30 in the morning?
- [39:16]
B

A
Just for context, she's going on at 9:55 at night and she got here at 11:30 in the morning. What have you been doing?
- [39:24]
B
But I like, I'd rather be here because I at least I have my team around and if I have a note or whatever or if they have notes, they come to me and we're Close. And it's better, you know, like I had just being at home waiting, waiting. No, it gives me more stress and actually I think I'm trying to enjoy the day because it's going to pass so fast.
- [39:46]
A
It's. I feel like it's going to go by so quickly that like once you get out there. Right. But the lead up feels like 12 days wait. Okay. Is there anything that you do before you go on stage that like is a non negotiable. You have to do it every time
- [40:00]
B
before you go on stage. I don't really have like a ritual. My ritual is like I get in me really like I have a lot of conversations with myself. But something that is super important is to get together with the whole team with dancers, production, like musicians, band and everyone just to connect really all of us and be ready for the show. Because sometimes when we don't do it like I have this feeling if we don't connect before the show, people is going to feel that disconnection.
- [40:30]
A
What is the conversation you have with yourself though before? What are you saying to yourself all day?
- [40:37]
B
I treat myself like a little heart with a lot of. Yeah, a heart. It's not in a bad way but it's kind of, you know there is like in my team for the building of the stage and the music and every detail. We are like more than 500 people. So it's kind of my face represent the hard work from everyone. So I have to take it with responsibility. You know, it's not about like just of course I want to have fun but it's my face that is going to pop up there and show the hard work from everyone. So I have to be like super. You're the leader focused. Exactly.
- [41:14]
A
It's about that now that you know exactly what your show is and we're all about to be able to watch it. Like what do you want your fans to actually feel while you're performing?
- [41:24]
B
Proud. Like proud. I really want my community to feel proud. And at the same time we are in a festival. I want everyone to jump and to scream and to cry. You know we're closing. So I really want my show to be the one that put the energy like on the next level.

- [42:37]
B
Oh, it's, it's going to work. It's gonna work. Like I like actually in the show is very deep, dedicated to woman. And I just feel that we have to make ourselves really strong in our spirits because we have to go through a lot of things. But at the end it worth it, you know, to feel that you get through things and then you achieve goals and you do another one and you do another one. Another one is kind of yourself like, like, like unlocking these superpowers that every woman has in the world. So I'm, I will say to her like, keep going, you're gonna be. It's. It was worth it.

The UV is getting high enough to tan, the outdoor concerts are lining back up, and suddenly the group chat that went completely silent all winter, yes, it's popping off again. But none of that would be complete without a white claw. Okay, when the weather warms up, I am running to the store and grabbing some white. Their new blood orange flavor has become my go to. It comes in a variety pack, and so everyone gets their favorite. I've already been stocking up to have my friends over for a little pool day. There's just truly nothing better than catching up as we lay out together. And yes, Bruce and Henry obviously get their own sunbed over there. The temperature in LA was literally almost 90 last weekend, which usually I personally would have hated. But I was actually so happy to be sitting in the pool, sipping a crispy, crispy white claw and pretending I was back on last summer's Euro trip. Whether it's barbecues, brunches, or just girls night by the fire, I think we're all ready to make up for all the time we lost stuck inside this winter.
