Camila Cabello Lights Up Ellen: Watch Here

Camila Cabello lit up the set of The Ellen DeGeneres Show with a red-hot cabaret rendition of “Havana.”

Cabello’s steamy performance opened with the singer emerging from a dressing room after singing the opening lines of the song into a vanity mirror.

Dancing through a backstage area through racks of wardrobe, the singer emerges onto a cabaret stage, eventually making her way down into a mock club setting.

Cabello’s “Havana” followed an interview with Ellen, where she discussed what it was like performing in New York’s Times Square in frigid sub-zero temperatures on New Year’s Eve and the extreme measures she took to stay warm.

“I’m from Miami, so that’s just not great,” Cabello told DeGeneres, adding that there was a “negative one hundred degree wind chill” – to which DeGeneres jokingly shut down the singer saying, “you would’ve died.” In order to avoid completely freezing, Cabello said she put hand warmers “everywhere,” and she meant everywhere.

Pointing towards the lower half of her body, Cabello said putting hand warmers “down there” helped a lot. As the audience laughed, DeGeneres joked, “so you felt the heat there and it made you think of Havana.” Cabello further went on to proclaim her desire to use hand warmers during all future performances and joked that is would “be the new thing.”
