Rosalía just made Latin Grammys history — again. The Spanish singer won the Album of the Year award for her 2025 LP, Lux, on Thursday, marking the third time she’s taken home the biggest honor of the night, and making her the first woman to win the award as a lead artist that many times.

Rosalía couldn’t contain her emotions during the big moment, already in tears as she walked onstage to receive the award from presenter Juanes. The Colombian rocker’s presence made her especially grateful as she reminisced how he helped her during the beginning of her career. “The fact that you’re the one giving me this award is so powerful,” the Spanish singer told Juanes.

“For me, Lux has been a leap into the abyss. I think it’s really important to speak your truth and that everyone else can share their truth. This album has been mine,” Rosalía said in her speech. She ended by honoring how her mother raised her. “Thanks, Mama, for making me this way. I’m going to bring this Grammy to your house. I don’t know if another one is going to fit in your house, but I’ll bring it to you anyways and see if you make room. You always find a way for anything,” she said.

Released last fall, Lux saw the Spanish singer flex her power as a trained conservatory musician as she blended classical music, opera, and 14 different languages into a spellbinding project that tackles theology, love, and womanhood. Rosalía took the all-encompassing energy of the album and channeled it into the Lux world tour this year, making for a unique spectacle complete with a full-blown orchestra.Since Rosalía broke out with her second album, El Mal Querer, the Spanish musician has become somewhat of a Latin Grammy darling. She took home her first Album of the Year win in 2019, for El Mal Querer, followed by her second, with 2022’s genre-bending Motomami.

Rosalía was up against stiff competition this year in a stacked Album of the Year category that included Jorge Drexler, Karol G, Carín León, Anitta, Mon Laferte, CA7RIEL and Paco Amoroso, Silvana Estrada, Rawayana, and Milo J. She was also one of the most-nominated artists of the night, tied for seven nods along with her fellow category nominees Karol G, CA7RIEL and Paco Amoroso, and Jorge Drexler.

Angie Martinez’s Unaired Tupac Shakur Interview Set for Release After 30 Years

In 1996, New York radio personality Angie Martinez flew to Los Angeles for an interview with Tupac Shakur. The conversation originated with the rapper, who suggested it be hosted in his home. There were some things he wanted to get off his chest. Some parts of the conversation made Martinez feel uneasy at the thought of airing them, so she shared select segments but kept most of the conversation buried at the time. A few months later, Shakur was murdered. Now, Martinez is brushing the dust off one of the rapper’s final interviews with The Tupac Tapes.
