“I wouldn’t be able to do what I do if it weren’t for the artists who came before me and paved the way—artists like him, whom I admire so much. Celia Cruz, Rocío, Vicente Fernandez, Daddy Yankee…it is incredible to be receiving this today,” Rosalía said during her speech. “And last but certainly not least, thank you to Latin America for the place you’ve given me, and for all these years of inspiration and lessons. I hope to keep finding ways to return all that affection and generosity to you. Here’s to many more years — thank you!”
Ahead of all the glitz and glamor that beamed out on Telemundo and Peacock, Billboard’s Ingrid Fajardo and Jessica Roiz hosted a livestream on the blue carpet, where many exciting and behind-the-scenes moments were captured.
