The spotlight is back on Las Vegas as the 26th Latin Grammy Awards prepare to dazzle the city's MGM Grand Garden Arena. This year's ceremony promises to be an electrifying event, with a star-studded lineup of performers and a new crop of nominees. At the forefront of the nominations is Puerto Rican sensation Bad Bunny, who tops the list with an impressive 12 nods. He edges out producer and songwriter Édgar Barrera, who held the record in 2023 and 2024 with 13 and 9 nominations, respectively. Barrera is now tied with Argentinian hip-hop duo CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso for the second most nominations, with each having 10. The Latin Grammys will broadcast live on TelevisaUnivision's U.S. platforms from 8 p.m. Eastern, with an hour-long pre-show kicking off at 7 p.m. Eastern. The Associated Press will also host a livestream of the red carpet beginning at 5 p.m. Eastern on YouTube and News. New categories have been introduced this year, including music for visual media, which recognizes original music for movies, TV shows, video games, and other visual media featuring Latin rhythms or composed by someone of Ibero American descent. Another new category, roots song, will honor songwriters of new, unpublished recordings that reflect the traditions and roots of various communities, cultures, or social groups, especially those of Hispanic American origin. This year's performers include a diverse lineup of artists, including Bad Bunny, CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, Karol G, Marco Antonio Solís, and many more. Past winners and notable figures, such as Carlos Vives and Juanes, will also make appearances. The Latin Grammy's 2025 Person of the Year, Raphael, will be recognized at the ceremony. The 26th Latin Grammy Awards are set to be an unforgettable night of music, celebration, and recognition of the best in Latin music.
