Shakira, Romeo Santos and Prince Royce each collected three trophies among the Premios Juventud 2026 winners. Aitana and Alejandro Fernández also finished the night with three awards apiece, according to Variety.
The ceremony was held in Marbella, Spain, on Sept. 3. Univision’s official event page presented the show as a live Premios Juventud 2026 gala, marking a European setting for this edition.
What did Shakira win at Premios Juventud 2026?
Shakira’s three awards covered an artist honor and two collaborations. She won Premios Juventud Female Artist, while “Dai Dai” with Burna Boy took OMG Collaboration and “Bésame” with Alejandro Sanz won Best Pop Song, Variety reported.
The result gave Burna Boy and Sanz a trophy each for their work with Shakira. Billboard also reported the “Dai Dai” win ahead of the evening ceremony.
Which awards did Romeo Santos and Prince Royce win together?
Santos and Royce won all three of their awards jointly in tropical categories. Their album Better Late Than Never was named Best Tropical Album, “Dardos” won Tropical Hit and “Lokita Por Mí” received Tropical Mix.
