Shakira has left an indelible mark on the history of the Latin Grammys, establishing herself as one of the most decorated female singers and songwriters ever.
Over the course of her career, the Colombian star has won an impressive 13 awards, a number that could increase on Thursday.
Shakira's artistic versatility has enabled her to excel in several categories at the Latin Grammy Awards, demonstrating her prowess as both a performer and a songwriter, and she has been reaping the rewards since 2000, when she won her first trophies.
The high point of her success at the Latin Grammys came during the 2006 ceremony, a particularly remarkable year for Shakira.
At that time, the song "La tortura", a duet with her friend Alejandro Sanz, was at the top of the charts.
On that memorable night, Shakira won four awards in different categories, creating a milestone in her career and establishing herself as one of the most prominent figures in Latin music.
She has won several Latin Grammys, including: Best Female Rock Vocal Performance for Octavo D�a and also Best Female Pop Vocal Performance Ojos As�, both in 2000; Best Video (Short Version) for Suerte, in 2002.
Her standout year was 2006, with Song Of The Year and Record Of The Year for La Tortura, featuring Alejandro Sanz, and Best Female Pop Vocal Album and Album Of The Year, for Oral Fixation Vol. 1.
She then won Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Album, for El Dorado, in 2017, which was her last award.
On Thursday, at the Palacio de Congresos y Exposiciones in Seville, Shakira will likely add more Latin Grammys to the 13 she has already has, given she's nominated in seven categories.
Who has the most Latin Grammys wins?
Throughout the history of the Latin Grammys, there have been artists with more accolades than the Colombian, in general and among female performers.
Natalia Lafourcade, with 15, is the female artist with the most awards, while Shakira and Rosal�a both have 13.
Overall, Juan Luis Guerra and Residente are the artists with the most wins, with 27 each, ahead of Juanes (26), Alejandro Sanz (24), Carlos Vives and Edgar Barrera (16).
