Spanish star Rosalía has made history as the first woman to win the best album award at the Latin Grammys three times, after being recognised for her project Lux.
The singer took home five trophies in total, including two for her track La Perla which was named song of the year and best pop song.
La Perla was also nominated for record of the year but missed out to Argentine singer Milo J's song Niño.
Rosalía released Lux last year to rave reviews and collecting her award at the ceremony in Las Vegas on Thursday, she said: "To all the people who told me I wasn't good enough, or that my music was too weird, I'm thankful I didn't listen."
The Barcelona-born artist then added: "Now I'm winning these prizes."
