Rosalía secured 4 awards including album of the year for Motomami, her third studio album. She got pretty emotional after receiving the award.
In her award-acceptance speech, the 30-year-old singer said in Spanish, “Thank you so much. ‘Motomami’ was a record I had to fight really hard to create … but it’s brought me so much happiness. Thank you for always supporting my music even when it’s constantly changing.”
The pop star hit the red carpet of the award show with her sister as well as her partner, reggaeton star Rauw Alejandro. During her speech, the Spanish musician also gave a sweet shoutout to her partner Rauw Alejandro. The Hentai singer gave the love of her life a shoutout and said, “Baby, I love you,”

One of the most historic moments of the night consisted of the Cuban singer-songwriter Angela Alvarez who is 95 years old, winning the award for Best New Artist.
