How Camila Cabello reinvented herself bbc.com

A Cuban immigrant beset by crippling shyness and two left feet has become one of pop's biggest stars.

She stops to answer a few questions: What was it like working with Pharrell ("nerve-wracking"). Would you ever record a Spanish-language album ("definitely"). Then, as tradition dictates, we request a photo for the BBC's social media accounts.

Cabello blinks, then asks: "Do you mind if I take a selfie?"
