The performance began with ‘Ojos Así’, one of Shakira’s most iconic songs, but with a revamped musical arrangement. As she danced in her unique style, the artist reminded everyone why she remains one of the biggest stars in Latin music.
Then, the energy skyrocketed when ‘Music Session #53’ began, but with an unexpected twist: the introduction featured a choir in the style of Gregorian chants from church. The song then evolved into an electronic rhythm that got everyone dancing.
Standing ovations and audience reactions
At the end of her show, Shakira bid farewell with a strong “¡Muchas gracias, mi gente!”, as the audience gave her a standing ovation. Among the attendees, singer Sabrina Carpenter was visibly amazed and speechless at the performance.
A Grammy for ‘Las mujeres ya no lloran’
This return to the Grammys was not only a success on stage but also in the awards. Shakira won the award for Best Latin Pop Album for her record ‘Las mujeres ya no lloran’.
A message for immigrants
Visibly moved, the artist used her speech to send a message of support to immigrants in the United States, who are facing moments of uncertainty due to Donald Trump’s policies.
“I want to dedicate this award to all my immigrant brothers and sisters in this country,” she said, holding the trophy in her hands. She also reminded them that they are valuable and that she will always fight for them: “You are loved, you matter, and I will always fight alongside you,” she stated, addressing especially Latinos working in sectors such as agriculture and construction.
Finally, she concluded her speech with a clear message:
“This award is for you.”
