Rosalía triumphs at 2026 Latin Grammys with six awards

Rosalía was the big winner at the 2026 Latin Grammys, taking home a total of six awards.

The Catalan superstar swept gala, held in Las Vegas, with her album 'Lux', winning Album of the Year, Best Alternative Music Album, Song of the Year and Best Pop Song for 'La perla,' Best Short Form Music Video for 'Sauvignon Blanc,' and Best Engineered Album for the team behind 'Lux'.

"I know I probably haven't made my best work yet, but I know I have everything it takes to be the best," Rosalía said, with tears in her eyes, upon accepting the award for Best Album.

The Latin Recording Academy held the 27th annual Latin Grammy Awards this Thursday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Rosalía arrived at the gala with seven nominations, six of which she went on to win.

Of all her nominations, the only award that eluded her was Record of the Year for 'La perla,' which went to 'Niño' by Milo J.

Singer Juanes had the honor of presenting the Album of the Year award to Rosalía. Visibly moved, she recalled how Juanes had supported her when she was just starting her career.

"I can't believe you're the one handing this to me, it’s incredible. Back when there were only 100 people in a venue in Madrid, you were there," she said. "You helped me so much at the start of my career, and you’ve always been there since, thank you from the bottom of my heart." 

Rosalía noted that this is the third time she has won Album of the Year. "If 'El mal querer' was a dream, and 'Motomami' was a bold gamble, then 'Lux' has been a leap into the void for me," she said.

"I believe it’s so important to speak your own truth, and to allow others to speak theirs, and this album is my truth."

"Thank God, and thank you to my loved ones, my family and my friends. Thank you for your love and for shaping me into who I am today," she added.

She acknowledged that she is aware she still has much to learn. "And I know that I probably haven't done my best work yet, but I know I have everything it takes to be the best."

Another Catalan artist, Bad Gyal, did not win either of the two awards for which she was nominated: Best Reggaeton Performance for 'Choque' and Best Urban Music Album for 'Más cara.'

The award for Best Reggaeton Performance went to 'Verano rosa' by Karol G and Feid, while the award for Best Urban Music Album went to 'Tropicoqueta' by Karol G.
