Becky G and Thalía Meet For Rolling Stone's Musicians on Musicians

Two stars connect for a heartfelt conversation about breaking barriers, protecting their peace, and how they both balance Mexican and American cultures.

The first order of business when Thalía and Becky G meet up at New York’s Power Station is what music the two pop stars are going to play in the background of their photo shoot. Quickly, the room decides on Bad Bunny, and within minutes, “Tití Me Preguntó” is pounding through the sound system, getting both artists dancing. Thalía’s voice suddenly pipes in for one memorable line of the song: “Mi primer amor se llamaba Thalía!” (“My first love’s name was Thalía!”) She and Becky burst into laughter.

Ever since Thalía invited Becky to guest on one of her songs back in 2015, the two have stayed close, reaching out to compliment each other and trade advice. The contours of their careers are almost uncannily similar, despite being generations apart: Thalía, who began performing in 1981 when she was around nine years old, released her first solo album in the Nineties — and became a ubiquitous figure in Latin living rooms everywhere by starring in classic telenovelas like Marimar and María la del Barrio. Becky, meanwhile, began acting around age nine before kicking off a music career with hits in English like “Shower,” from 2014. From there, she leapt into Latin markets, making pop and reggaeton hits in Spanish, and settling into a discography that’s been bilingual and completely eclectic.
