The Spanish newspaper El Pais reported the news and Moreno’s statement, which suggests Sevilla might be the location the Grammys end up selecting. “Personally, I think that Sevilla has all of the prerequisites to host the awards show, especially due to its connection to the Latin world and because it has hosted big events in the past,” he said. Moreno said that celebrating the Grammys in Sevilla will be a historic moment for Andalusia and for culture.
The Mayor of Sevilla, Antonio Muñoz, shared his excitement of the news and said that Sevilla had enough experience already in hosting major shows, including the MTV Europe Music Awards, the Goya Awards, Dior’s fashion show.
Last year’s Latin Grammys were hosted in Las Vegas, where the Uruguayan musician Jorge Drexler won eight Grammys. He was followed by Bad Bunny, who won five Grammys, and Rosalia, who won four, including the evening’s most important award for album of the year.
