I have spent much of my life trying to figure out where I fit in as a Mexican-American woman — more time than I'd like to admit, if we're being honest. For a long time, my primary aim was to prove to people that I was Mexican enough, maybe to compensate for the fact that I was experiencing less and less of the culture firsthand. When my parents divorced, I grew up with my American mother, while my brother and sister lived with my dad. I learned French in school because the Spanish classes were filled up by the time I enrolled, and I stopped going to Mexico every summer when I turned 16 and got a job. And over time I learned that a lot of people didn't think I was Latinx when they first looked at me, either because I didn't tell people I was right off the bat, or because Hollywood's scope of what a Latinx person looks like isfrustratingly narrow.But there is always music. Lady Gaga and BLACKPINK’s 2020 collaboration “Sour Candy” finally got its major stage moment, fitting for the recognition this song absolutely warrants. “Sour Candy” somehow is everything you want from a collaboration between two such dynamic artists; it encompasses the best of both aesthetics and musical inclinations — Gaga’s deadpan wit perfectly playing of BLACKPINK’s duality, “So sweet 'til I get a little angry.” The Show performance of the song featured plenty of pink to go around, with choreo as lively and energetic as this candy-colored song deserves.— P.
