Shakira celebrated her 48th birthday at the 2025 Grammys held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday (Feb. 2), where she won a Grammy award and performed live.
Gloria Estefan had the honor to introduce the “global superstar … the one and only, the incomparable, Shakira,” prior to a short tribute video in which the Colombian artist opened up about her separation and putting herself together thanks to music.
Rocking a golden two-piece and matching gloves, Shak first took fans down memory lane with the sensual 1998 hit “Ojos Así” powered by a mesmerizing belly-dance number, before transitioning to an empowering and energetic performance of the viral “Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53.”
At the 67th annual awards ceremony, Shak — now a four-time Grammy winner — won best Latin pop album for Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, a category in which she was up against Anitta’s Funk Generation, Luis Fonsi’s El Viaje, Kany García’s García and Kali Uchis’ Orquídeas. She dedicated her win to her “immigrant brothers and sisters in this country,” reminding them that they are “loved and worthy,” and also to her sons Milan and Sasha, who were present at the show.
Shak’s winning set (her 12th studio album over a four-decade career), debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums and Latin Pop Albums chart last April.
Meanwhile, other Latin artists who nabbed an award earlier at the Grammy Premiere Ceremony are Residente for best música urbana album; Rawayana for best Latin rock or alternative album; Carín León for best música Mexicana album (Including Tejano); Tony and Mimy Succar for best tropical Latin album; Sheila E. featuring Gloria Estefan and Mimy Succar for best global music performance; and Zaccai Curtis for best Latin jazz album.
Beyoncé leads the 2025 Grammys nominations with 11 nods. She’s followed by Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar and Post Malone with seven nods apiece, followed by Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Taylor Swift with six each.
