It was a big night for female artists at the 24th Latin Grammys ceremony — the first held outside the U.S.

“Bienvenidos a España, bienvenidos a Sevilla!” actor and presenter Antonio Banderas said in his opening speech, as he welcomed the audience to Spain.

Shakira, who took home awards for song of the year, best urban/fusion performance and best pop song for her collaborations with Argentinian DJ and record producer Bizarrap and fellow Colombian Karol G — incorporated her two young sons into her first performance of “Acróstico.” The Colombian superstar later returned to the stage for a medley of her hits including “Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” accompanied by her signature dance moves.

“I want to dedicate this award to my sons … because I promised them that I would be happy,” Shakira said while accepting the award for song of the year.

Karol G won two coveted awards: best album of the year and best urban music album for “Mañana será bonito.” Mexican singer-songwriter Natalia Lafourcade took home record of the year for “De Todas Las Flores.”

Viewers were watching closely for the top four categories: record of the year, album of the year, song of the year and best new artist. Nominees in those categories included Shakira, Peso Pluma, GALE, Maluma and Alejandro Sanz, who performed at the event. Other nominees in those top categories included Christina Aguilera, Bad Bunny, Natalia Lafourcade, Karol G, Juanes, Carlos Vives and Marc Anthony.
