She drew attention with her ethereal performance at the beginning of the ceremony and responded to critics who had chastised her for her music, saying: 'I thank all the people who told me I wasn't enough or that my music was too strange for not listening to any of that. Now I'm winning awards like this.' This is the third time Rosalía has won the Album of the Year award, following 'El Mal Querer' in 2019 and 'Motomami' in 2022.
