Shakira
Awards season has officially begun! And as evidence proves, there's plenty of Latinx star power rising up and taking over the scene. These artists stole the spotlight with epic (and award-winning) moments at the Golden Globes. Next up they're lined up for big wins at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, which take place on March 14. From the legends (like Shakira) to the newcomers (like Lele Pons), these are all the Latinx stars who are nominated and we hope will take home a prize.
Shakira
Colombian singer (and world's best belly dancer), Shakira, scored a nomination for Latin Song of the Year with her high-energy track Clandestino, which also features fellow Combian singer/songwriter Maluma.

Puerto Rican reggaetonero Ozuna is the king of collabs. He's nominated for Latin Song of the Year for his work with Mexican band Reik and reggaeton-rapper Wisin for their work on Me Niego. He's also up for Best Music Video for Taki Taki, the upbeat track featuring Selena Gomez, Cardi B and DJ Snake. But his biggest nomination? Latin Artist of the Year.
Maluma

Luis Fonsi and Demi Lovato

If you weren't living under a rock last year, then you know why Luis Fonsi and Demi Lovato are nominated. Their hit song Échame La Culpa was heard everywhere and totally deserves a nod for Latin Song of the Year.
