Sofía Vergara Presents Karol G With Woman of the Year | Billboard Women In Music 2024

Sofía Vergara presents Karol G with Woman of the Year at Billboard Women In Music 2024.

Sofía Vergara:
Good evening! I’m here tonight to present the Billboard Woman of the Year Award to La Bitchota, Karol G! Well, Karol G and I became very good friends while we were filming the TV series Griselda. Griselda was Karol G’s first acting role, and she would show up on set every day, ready to just dive in and to learn. And here’s the thing: She was so humble and she was so easy on the set that if you weren’t already a fan of her music, you would have no idea that she’s actually a world-famous mega music star with devoted fans all over the planet.

Billboard has recognized Karol with multiple awards over the years, including the Billboard Woman In Music Rulebreaker award in 2021. And since then, her career has skyrocketed. Just in the last year, Karol became the first woman and second artist ever to top the Billboard 200 with an all-Spanish language album, Mañana Será Bonito, she was also the top Woman Latin Artist on Billboard‘s year-end charts.

And let’s talk about the Grammys. Karol recently won album of the year at the Latin Grammys, and then she became the very first woman to win urban album of the year at the Grammy Awards a few weeks ago. She’s the first Latina and still one of only a few women to headline a global stadium tour, and was the highest grossing Latin touring artist of 2023. I was lucky enough to see her in concert and get to experience her soulful mix of reggaeton, pop, R&B. It was an experience that I’m never gonna forget, like tonight.

Our Woman of the Year! Give it up to the magnificent Woman of the Year.
