I was told millions of times that I was never going to achieve what I set out to, but I decided to do it, and I did it.

The Fiesta Tour McDonald's exhibit is a one-of-a-kind compilation of items and great moments in Latin music history. Every item has a unique story, including the outfit which I wore during the 2008 Premios Juventud awards.
