Camila Cabello has been garnering a lot of attention since breaking away from X-Factor band Fifth Harmony last year, and we ain’t complaining. The 20-year-old Cuban-born pop star has one of the best voices we’ve heard in a looong time and owns some of the fiercest dance moves—even Demi Levato declared her the group’s unsung hero. Most recently, Cabello blew our minds at the 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards, where she performed alongside Pitbull, J Balvin and some legit flame machines. (Her killer kimono-inspired outfit didn’t hurt, either.) If that wasn’t reason enough to love Cabello, the it-girl creates (and shares) her own mood-inspired Spotify playlists on the DL. Obsessed yet? Here’s 10 other facts you probably didn’t about the super-talented artist.

 

1. She used to be a huge introvert and had serious anxiety before her X-Factor audition

2. She’s totally obsessed with Harry Potter (and if HP has any taste, the feelings should be mutual)

3. She’s a huge soccer fan and roots for Brazil’s national football team
