Rosalía took home album of the year at the Latin Grammy Awards on Thursday night, winning the night’s top prize for Lux (Complete Works) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
The win makes her the first woman to claim album of the year three times as a lead artist, Consequence reported. She previously won the category for El Mal Querer in 2019 and Motomami in 2022.
Rosalía opened the ceremony with a medley from Lux, then collected five awards in all. Her song “La Perla,” recorded with Yahritza y Su Esencia, won song of the year, and she also won best pop song, best alternative music album and best short-form music video.
Colombian singer Juanes handed her the album award. She told the audience through tears that Lux had been “a leap into the void” for her, and thanked Juanes for backing her when she played rooms of about 100 people in Madrid.
The 27th annual ceremony was hosted by Roselyn Sánchez. Milo J took record of the year for “Niño.”
