In honour of International Women's Day last March 8 and Women's History Month, Waze and Christina Aguilera partner to offer the Xtina Experience in the app. She takes her fans through her life and works, starting from her "Genie in a Bottle" beginnings to her breakout as a fierce and liberated woman in "Stripped," to her current hits like "Pa Mis Muchachas," that draw from her Latin roots. You can even hear her share advice in English or Spanish. Voice navigation is available in those languages. 

To get the whole experience, you can choose one of four moods: Magical, Feisty, Sweet, or Strong. And you can drive in either a Dirrty Bike or Pinkup Truck. Christina has also curated a Spotify playlist you can stream through the Waze Audio Player. It's filled with powerhouse women, including up-and-coming artists who inspire her and some of her own belt-it-out hits. Perfect for those road trips. The Xtina experience will be available for a limited time.
