“Shakira is the ultimate Woman in Music. Thanks to her, Latin women all over the world have been empowered to write and perform deeply personal music,” says Billboard’s chief content officer for Latin/Español, Leila Cobo.

“She created a movement all on her own, and continues to be more relevant than ever today, with grace, a deep tradition of giving back, and enormous talent. She is the definition of a Woman in Music.”

President of entertainment and content strategy for Telemundo, Ronald Day, adds: “Shakira has been pivotal in shaping the vibrant and diverse landscape of Latin music and music in general throughout her career. 

“Her passion, talent and creativity have broken barriers and empowered generations to embrace our identity through music, and we are incredibly proud to recognize her as Woman of the Year in the industry.”

Elsewhere at the event, Ana Gabriel will receive the Living Legend Award, while Emilia will receive the Rising Star Award, Evaluna the Tradition and Future Award, Goyo the Agent of Change Award, and Thalia the Global Powerhouse Award.
