Rosalía Takes Album of the Year at 2026 Latin Grammys

Rosalía walked away with Album of the Year at the 2026 Latin Grammy Awards, taking the trophy for Lux (Complete Works). Ricky Martin handed her the prize on stage.

The Spanish singer and pop star sounded genuinely stunned as she accepted it. She thanked everyone who supports her music, called the win incredible, and gave a nod to her family and to those she said watch over us from above. She picked up a second award on the night too, Best Pop Song, for La Perla.

Sting collected his first Latin Grammy, winning Best Pop/Rock Song for his guest spot on Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso's Hasta Jesús Tuvo Un Mal Día. Paco Amoroso said Sting had been instrumental in getting the duo through the whole process, offering his warmth and his space, and added that the glory was down to him.

Record of the Year went to Argentine rapper, singer, songwriter and producer Milo J for Niño. Bobby Pulido took Best Tejano Album only days after winning a seat in the House of Representatives for the Democrats in the US midterm elections.

The 27th Annual Latin Grammy Awards aired live from Las Vegas, with Puerto Rican actor, producer and singer Roselyn Sánchez as host. Presenters included Camila Cabello, Howie D of The Backstreet Boys, Greeicy, Pablo Alborán, Ryan Castro and Mexican soccer star Memo Ochoa.

Forty performers took the stage over the evening, among them Anitta, Feid, Karol G, Rosalía and Daddy Yankee, who was also named the Latin Recording Academy's 2026 Person of the Year.

Other winners on the night included Aria Vega for Best New Artist, Alejandro Sanz for Best Contemporary Pop Album with ¿Y Ahora Qué +?, and Laura Pausini for Best Traditional Pop Album with Yo Canto 2. Song of the Year went to La Perla, credited to Rosalía featuring Yahritza Y Su Esencia.

In the genre categories, J Noa and Trooko won Best Rap/Hip Hop Song for Antisistema, while Best Urban Song went to Daddy Yankee: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 0/66, credited to Santiago Alvarado, Bizarrap and Daddy Yankee. The Warning took Best Rock Song with Ego, and Jorge Drexler won Best Alternative Music Song for Ante la duda, baila.
