After unwinding, the Colombian superstar shared a heartfelt post on Instagram, thanking her team, family, friends, colleagues, and fans, for being part of her successful journey. 

“Thank you for working your ass off with me every day this past year, thank you for the efforts and sacrifices and the countless hours of preparation to give the best to an audience to which I owe so much. Today I look at the result of what we built and I see exactly everything I dreamed of years ago,” she expressed. “The girl from the last video, is VERY, VERY proud of the woman you have become today, because even though nobody knows everything you have done to be there, at least they can see that fighting for yourself was worth it, that after so much it was beautiful, that dreams do come true and that hard work pays off. That is the most meaningful message you can leave the world.”

In the message, which she wrote in Spanish and can be read below, she assured her fans that she is inseparable with them, and that this is only the beginning of many wonderful things.
