At the 2026 Latin Grammys in Las Vegas, Brazilian singer Anitta won her first Latin Grammy, for Best Portuguese Language Contemporary Pop Album, and Janet Jackson made a surprise appearance to present Daddy Yankee with Person of the Year. Anitta, a 12-time nominee, performed a medley from her album EQUILIBRIVM and dedicated her win to Brazil, saying it was the first time a Brazilian category was televised and that Latin America includes more than Spanish-speaking countries. Rolling Stone also reported that Milo J, 20, won his first trophies, and that Daddy Yankee's show-stopping set featured guests including LL Cool J and Bizarrap. Janet Jackson surprised the audience, and Daddy Yankee thanked her for being there. Rolling Stone noted that Pablo Alborán, nominated for the 30th time, has still never won a Latin Grammy, and that Sting won Best Pop/Rock Song for his feature on Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso's track.
