Q. A few weeks ago you recorded a message for Bad Bunny in English and Spanish, so I’m curious if you’ve heard back from his team?
PAULA BADOSA: I have to say, I have tickets for his concert now, so yes!
Q. You’ve talked about being one of the first on the Bad Bunny bandwagon. Do you remember hearing his music for the first time, and how his lyrics inspire or motivate you?
PAULA BADOSA: Honestly, I’m a bit jealous because now everyone is a Bad Bunny fan, but they’re not real ones! I was the real one in 2018-2019 when he started. I remember telling people at the time how I love him and he’s my favorite artist, and they were like, “Who?” I would tell them, “You’ll see,” and sure enough now everyone is a fan.
I listen to Bad Bunny all day, before the match. Today you saw my celebration and it was because of one of his songs I’ve been listening to with the team. It’s an inside joke but it’s related to Bad Bunny. It’s really cool and gives me good vibes. Before a match, it’s really important to get into that zone and that mood. I think his music is perfect for that.
