The Colombian began her performance on a closed set, surrounded by mirrors and heavenly lighting. Then she went to the stage, where she was accompanied by a piano and then a video was played in which her two children sang the lyrics of the beautiful song. Both Milan and Sasha were in attendance and proudly cheered on their mother from their seats.
The easy performance of “Acróstico” was followed by Shakira’s first win of the night in the Best Pop Song category for her collaboration with Bizarrap, “Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53.”
“I want to share this Grammy with my colleagues with whom I had the pleasure of working and learning,” Shakira said in her acceptance speech. “With my Latin American audience in Spain, in Colombia, in the United States, in Latin America. The Latin American audience that has taken me to very high peaks, to places that I have dreamed of since childhood and to which I owe everything. I also want to share it with my Spanish audience, who have been with me through thick and thin… who have not stopped giving me love and support for a single day. I will never forget that. This is for you”.
