Spanish singer-songwriter Rosalía made history at the 27th annual Latin Grammy Awards in Las Vegas on November 12, 2026, becoming the first woman to win the best album award three times. Her latest release, Lux, secured the top prize, along with four additional awards, including song of the year and best pop song for La Perla.
The ceremony, hosted by Roselyn Sánchez, recognized Rosalía’s contributions to alternative music, with Lux also winning best alternative music album. Her shortform music video for Sauvignon Blanc earned the best shortform music video award. The album’s success follows her previous wins for El Mal Querer (2019) and Motomami (2022).
During her acceptance speech, Rosalía addressed critics who questioned her work, stating: “To all the people who told me I wasn't good enough, or that my music was too weird, I'm thankful I didn't listen. Now I'm winning these prizes.”
La Perla, a standout track from Lux, was nominated for record of the year but lost to Milo J’s Niño. The album’s recognition at the Latin Grammys positions it as a potential frontrunner for the upcoming Grammy Awards, with nominations set to be announced the following week.
The event also featured a tribute to Daddy Yankee, who received the Person of the Year honor. His performance included a medley of hits such as Gasolina, Despacito, and Con Calma, alongside collaborators including Bizarrap, Bad Gyal, and Feid. Janet Jackson presented the award, calling it a moment of “admiration and respect.” Yankee concluded his speech with a message to Puerto Rico: “Puerto Rico, remember. Puerto Rico is not small. The map is small.”
Rosalía opened the ceremony with a performance of her biggest songs, while other stars like Ana de Armas and Camila Cabello drew attention on the red carpet for their lingerie-inspired looks. De Armas wore an Elie Saab blue satin dress with sheer panels, while Cabello transitioned from a Simone Rocha lace ensemble to a Christian Dior floral dress for her stage presentation.
The Latin Grammy Awards celebrated a night of musical excellence, with Rosalía’s historic achievement underscoring the growing global influence of Latin music.
