How the singer left the girl group Fifth Harmony and found a chart-topping sound with an ode to her immigrant past
THE YEAR’S FASTEST-RISING POP star is lounging backstage in Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., eating spicy Takis corn snacks and trying to figure out what to do with a rare bit of free time.

It’s a Monday in mid-December, the kind of frigid day in a boring city that makes Cabello, 20, wish she was back home in Miami.
