Lifetime Achievement Honoree at Latin Women in Music

The night of Billboard Latin Women in Music 2026 reached one of its most emotional moments when Gloria Trevi — dressed in a dazzling outfit that made her shine like a disco queen — took the stage to perform “No Estás Sola” (“You Are Not Alone”). The song, part of her album El Vuelo (2025), deeply resonated with the audience as the Mexican artist poured all her energy into the performance, jumping and dancing with the crowd. Trevi turned her performance into a celebration of unity and empowerment.

Chiquis, the host of the event, had the honor of introducing the iconic Mexican artist, who was celebrated with the Lifetime Achievement Award. Inspired by the cover of her album, where she appears as a daring space cadet, Trevi dazzled with her futuristic style.

In her acceptance speech, she shared powerful reflections on the current times and the importance of unity in a divided world. “A round of applause for El Mero Mero. He has given me a family to fight for, he has given me fans, he has given me friends who have made me feel that I am not alone in these strange times — times of misinformation, times that promote hate, wars, separation, division, and where what is most visible on social media are sensationalist rumors,” she expressed. “People no longer know what is true. And something very troubling is that women who fight are often attacked by other women. This is a reflection of everything happening in the world.”

Trevi urged women to reflect on their role in society and the power they hold to transform their surroundings. “Women are the hand that rocks the cradle,” she said. “It is our responsibility to instill love. But as you can see, people share opinions, debate, mock, and argue. In the end, they feel a void of hopelessness. Because harboring negative feelings, criticizing, and hating harms the person feeling them more than the person receiving them.”

With conviction, she concluded her message by emphasizing the power of empathy and hope. “If you are well, the world will be better. Say: ‘you are not alone.’ Remember, a smile can change and even save a life.”

Hosted by Chiquis, the fourth edition of Latin Women in Music also honored Rosalía as Woman of the Year, along with Lola Indigo (Artistic Evolution), Ivy Queen (Pioneer), Julieta Venegas (Artistic Excellence), Becky G (Global Impact), Young Miko (Unstoppable Artist), and Joy (Spirit of Change).
