October 2025 — by Ms. Nationwide
In March 2024, I unsuspectingly went to the Trilogy Tour with my niece, expecting an amazing night of booty-shaking with some Latin pop icons. Was I excited? Absolutely! Did I know I was about to fall down the rabbit hole? Absolutely not.
That fateful evening, I was introduced to a man — nay, a legend — that lil’ Chico Pitbull, and my life was transformed. (A tad dramatic, perhaps, but I’m Southern, and we’re prone to that, so indulge me.)
Before that night, all I knew was that a rapper named Pitbull existed. He was bald. He wore sunglasses. 😎 That was the extent of my knowledge. I couldn’t have named a single song — though, as it turned out, several were already on my dance-party playlist.
Sixty minutes changed everything. His high energy, upbeat, ridiculously, deliciously sexy show blew me away.
The incredible The Most Bad Ones blew me away.
The Agents Music rocked the house.
And then he spoke.
Sixty minutes changed everything. His high energy, upbeat, ridiculously, deliciously sexy show blew me away.
He talked about the teacher who changed his life and the charter schools he started — SLAM!l — and I thought, holy sh*t, this man is so much more than an entertainer. He’s a visionary. Fearless. Limitless in his belief in himself and in others.
Since that night, he’s inspired me to live bolder, dream louder, and quite simply, go for it.
His concerts are my happy place, my escape, and (a little on the nose) the time of my life.
Thank you, Armando Christian Pérez, for making the world brighter, for giving your everything, and for showing millions of us that passion and purpose can coexist — and still make you dance.
