Shakira Dedicates Grammy Win to Immigrants, Advocates for Their Rights
On February 2, 2025, at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, Shakira won Best Latin Pop Album for Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, marking a major milestone in her career.
During her acceptance speech, Shakira took a moment to address a topic close to her heart—immigration.
“I want to dedicate this award to all of my fellow immigrants in this country. You are cherished, you are seen, and you matter. I will always stand with you,” she said, earning a standing ovation.
Shakira’s words resonated with many, especially as immigration policies have been a major topic under President Trump’s administration. While the president has stated that his policies target illegal immigration, Shakira’s message was one of unity and support for all immigrants who contribute to the country.
She ended her speech by thanking her two sons, Milan and Sasha, who watched proudly from the audience:
“I am so proud of you for your kind hearts. I love you both endlessly.”
The moment quickly went viral, with fans praising Shakira not only for her musical success but also for her advocacy on social issues.
