Thursday, November 12, 2026 · Music · GSM News

The 27th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards took place on the night of November 12 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada. Beyond the 60 awards, the stage itself carried the night: Spanish singer Rosalía opened the show with an operatic performance, and Karol G, Mon Laferte, Anitta, Silvana Estrada and Daddy Yankee all took the stage in an annual showcase of Latin music.

The opening belonged to Rosalía. In a gold gown at center stage, backed by dancers wearing golden halos amid a cloud-filled, opera-like set, she set the tone before collecting a string of honors: "La Perla" won Song of the Year, her album LUX (Complete Works) won Best Alternative Music Album, and "Sauvignon Blanc" won Best Short Form Music Video.

Karol G arrived with a Mexican flourish, performing in a gold traditional Mexican-style gown backed by mariachi musicians. She went on to win Best Urban Music Album for Tropicoqueta and Best Reggaeton Performance alongside Feid for "Verano Rosa."

Chilean singer Mon Laferte's stage was bathed in blue light: standing at the center of a sculptural group of dancers under a red spotlight, she delivered one of the night's most theatrical moments. Her album FEMME FATALE was nominated for Album of the Year and her single "Femme Fatale" for Record of the Year.

Mexican singer-songwriter Silvana Estrada kept it simple: a green dress, a violin, and her songs. Earlier that afternoon she had won Best Singer-Songwriter Song at the Premiere Ceremony for "Dime," which was also nominated for Record of the Year.

Also performing during the telecast were Daddy Yankee, Milo J, Carín León, Kany García, Elena Rose and Jorge Drexler. Daddy Yankee, honored the previous evening at the Person of the Year gala, returned to the stage to perform, and Pablo Alborán was among the performers at the afternoon Premiere Ceremony.

From an operatic opening to a golden mariachi moment, the stage told the story of Latin music's year.
