Jennifer Lopez presented the Grammy Award for Shakira’s victory in the genre category for Best Latin Pop Album. “I want to dedicate this award to all my immigrant brothers and sisters in this country,” the Colombian superstar said after dedicating her victory to immigrants. I will always argue with you, yet you are valued and valuable.
Shakira’s comments almost immediately follow US President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, which aims to track, identify, apprehend, and deport illegal immigrants. Selena Gomez, a Mexican-American artist, protested the action in a social media post that she later removed.
Additionally, Shakira used the occasion to honor the dedicated women who support their families. “You are the true She-wolves,” she added, referring to the title of one of her most iconic songs and recognizing the strength and resilience of women everywhere.
Shakira wore a sequin-adorned gown with beads in shades of orange and black. Black beaded embellishments at the waist of the design flowed into a sheer skirt with a dramatic train and flower beading.
Her signature long, curly hair in a big, center-parted manner, and her makeup was natural and gentle, featuring pink lipstick and fluttery lashes.
The award presentation, which was presented by Trevor Noah and streamed live from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, featured a performance by the three-time Grammy winner. The ceremony may be streamed live on Disney+ Hotstar for Indian viewers.
