Shakira won at the 2025 Grammy Awards and dedicated her trophy to the hard-working immigrants in the United States.
Taking the stage at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, the Colombian singer won in the Best Latin Pop Album category for Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran and took the opportunity to express her support to immigrants.
“I want to dedicate this award to all my immigrant brothers and sisters in this country,” she said. “You are loved. You are worth it, and I will always fight with you.”
Shakira also gave a shoutout to “all the women who work really hard every day to provide for their families,” adding, “You are the true she-wolves.”
The mother of two was accompanied by her two kids, who she also acknowledged in her accepting speech, saying, “I want to share this award with my kids, Milan and Sasha, who are with me. I’m so proud of you guys, of your kind hearts. Thank you for supporting me the way you do. I love you.”

“Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest. The Trump Administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement, and instead trusts them to use common sense,” the DHS said in a statement.
