Reggaeton superstar, Karol G, will be the next artist to grace the front of Barcelona's shirts in El Clasico, joining the ranks of Drake and the Rolling Stones.

The Colombian's logo, a barbed wire heart featuring her name at the core, will debut on Barcelona Femeni's jerseys during their Liga F match against Villarreal on Saturday, April 13th.

The men's team will don jerseys adorned with the same design during their Clasico match against Real Madrid on Sunday, April 21st, continuing the club's collaboration with the music streaming service Spotify.

Karol G has secured the distinction as the most-streamed female Latin artist on Spotify for four consecutive years. Her album 'Mañana Será Bonito' made history in March 2023 as the most-listened-to Latin album by a female artist in a single day on the music platform.

A select number of Nike home shirts featuring the singer's logo are currently available for purchase online, along with just 22 signed versions. A range of merchandise, including hoodies, scarves, beanies, and water bottles, has been launched alongside the jersey on the artist's official website.

Speaking upon the release of the new shirt, Karol G said via GOAL:

"The heart symbol represents what became ‘Bichota’ style, a moment in my life where I found strength, resilience and support. Thanks to Spotify and FC Barcelona, seeing it on the front of a shirt that inspires so much of that same energy is truly meaningful."

This marks the most recent collaboration in a series of shirt designs between Barcelona and their primary shirt sponsor, Spotify.

In recent Clasico matchups, the Blaugrana have sported jerseys adorned with the logos of renowned rapper Drake, British rock legends The Rolling Stones, and beloved Barcelona native Rosalia.

Both Barcelona's men's and women's teams are gearing up for an exciting week ahead.

Following their match against Cadiz on Saturday, Xavi's squad will play against Paris Saint-Germain in the home leg of their Champions League quarter-final, followed by a trip to Madrid for the highly anticipated Clasico.

Meanwhile, Barca Femeni will host Villarreal before facing off against Chelsea in the first leg of their Women's Champions League semi-final on Saturday, April 20th.
