Karol G is making her acting debut in the new crime drama miniseries Griselda, and the acclaimed songstress-turned-actress is opening up about why she asked for a smaller role than the creators originally envisioned for her.

The 32-year-old "TQG" singer walked the red carpet at the series premiere in Miami, Florida, on Tuesday, where she spoke with ET's Denny Directo about taking on this new challenge.

"I was super nervous," she admitted. "I think they came to me with a different character [to play]."

According to Karol G, the creators "wanted me more in the series," but she felt she wasn't quite ready to tackle that as a burgeoning actress.

"I was like, 'Wait, this is my first time doing this and I think I'm gonna accept something less,'" she explained. "I [wanted] to start learning first."

The singer gleefully recalled how she tried to just embrace the opportunity and pick up every lesson there was to learn.

"I was a little sponge absorbing everything on the set and learning a lot from my other castmates and I'm super happy," she shared. "I think everything is so beautiful. It came [out] so beautiful. I'm super excited for what the future brings."
