Since embarking on her solo career, Camila Cabello has proven that she’s here to stay, flaunting a powerful-yet-playful personality that’s left the world wanting more.

While still in Fifth Harmony, she first spread her wings by teaming up with Shawn Mendes for their collaborative 2015 hit "I Know What You Did Last Summer," then joined Machine Gun Kelly for "Bad Things," which eventually reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 (chart dated Feb. 11, 2017).

Since departing the group in Dec. 2016, Cabello's career has gone into hyper-speed. In 2018, she made her first solo debut at the top of the Billboard 200 with Camila, landed at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 with “Havana” featuring Young Thug, dazzled crowds as Taylor Swift’s tour opener and eventually earned two Grammy nominations. As the year comes to a close, it is clear that she’s not slowing down anytime soon.
