Now in its fourth year, Billboard Latin Women in Music has solidified its position as a powerful platform, bringing together the most influential voices in Latin music for a night of standout performances, recognition, and community.
The renowned artists will be recognized with the following awards:
- Gloria Trevi will be honored with the “Lifetime Achievement” award, recognizing a career that has left a meaningful and lasting mark on music. Defined by pivotal moments, major achievements, and a deep connection with audiences across generations, her trajectory reflects both legacy and continued evolution. Over several decades, she has built a body of work that resonates worldwide, performing on international stages while maintaining a devoted fanbase. Considered one of the highest-grossing Latin artists in the world, Pollstar magazine highlighted Trevi as one of the women with the most concert tickets sold globally. She has achieved multiple No. 1 albums on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart, including Gloria and El Amor, while also reaching the Billboard 200 and scoring numerous hits across the Latin charts, demonstrating her broad commercial reach and crossover appeal. Her ability to consistently release new music while maintaining a strong connection with her audience underscores her enduring relevance and influence in Latin music.
- Rising Spanish pop starLola Indigo will receive the “Evolution” award, recognizing an artist whose career is defined by continuous growth, creative transformation, and the courage to reinvent herself while staying true to her essence. First gaining national attention on Operación Triunfo, she quickly established herself as a bold and innovative force in Spanish pop. Since then, she has grown into one of Spain’s leading artists, delivering hit songs, ambitious creative projects, and powerful live performances that have filled the country’s biggest stages. She scored her first Top 10 on Billboard Argentina Hot 100 hit with her feature on María Becerra’s “High,” alongside Tini, which peaked at No. 2 in 2020 and was voted by Billboard readers as the “Best Latin Summer Remix of 2020.” Her journey exemplifies resilience, risk-taking, and constant evolution, proving that true success lies not only in longevity, but in continuously challenging and elevating her artistry.
This year’s celebration will also recognize Becky G with the “Global Impact” Award; Ivy Queen who will receive the “Pioneer” award; Joy, honored with the “Spirit of Change” award; Julieta Venegas, receiving the “Artistic Excellence” award; and Young Miko, who will be honored with the “Unstoppable Artist” award.
