Hanlon kicked things off with elegant riffs, masterfully playing the grand piano, with his use of the sustain pedal making the piano sound larger than the arena itself. Ángela, donning an elegant one-shoulder dress, wore her hair longer than usual.
Later, Cuban star Yotuel, dressed in a Japanese-style samurai outfit, and Puerto Rican artist Darell joined the celebrations to perform their track “Repetimos,” which reached No. 9 on Billboard‘s Tropical Airplay chart.

“It’s a beautiful thing because it’s a different genre,” Ángela Aguilar said earlier during a red carpet interview. “It’s a huapango, which is Mexican music, but done in a modern way.” Their performance highlighted the versatility and dynamic range of both artists, seamlessly blending classical elements with modern influences to captivate the audience.
“We wrote the song and got together with Ángela,” Hanlon told Billboard at the red carpet. “I’m always looking for magic. And I knew that with this song and with Angela, by placing the piano in the desert, we would create a contrast between the music and the natural environment. That’s how this song was born.”
Ángela Aguilar received eight nominations, and won mariachi/ranchera song of the year for “Por El Contrario” with Becky G and Leonardo Aguilar.
Broadcasting live on Thursday (Feb. 20) from the Kaseya Center in Miami, the 2025 Premio Lo Nuestro ceremony is co-hosted by Laura Pausini, Thalia, and Alejandra Espinoza. Becky G and Carín León lead the list of nominations with 10 nods each. This year, the gala’s theme is “Uniendo Generaciones” (Uniting Generations), honoring the artists, songs, and albums that connect the past, present, and future of Latin music.

Madonna has shared her latest thoughts on the current activities of U.S. President Donald Trump.
The Queen of Pop’s latest comments on Trump came following a controversial post from the official White House X account on Wednesday (Feb. 19). Sharing a fake Time magazine cover, the title was altered to feature Trump’s name, while a caption reading “long live the king” appeared above a smiling of the President, adorned with a crown.
The post, which was shared after his administration ordered New York to end congestion pricing, was also accompanied by a quote attributed to Trump, “CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING.”

Understandably, the post drew swift criticism from those who recognized the irony of the White House’s reference to Trump as a monarch, given the very circumstances upon which America was first founded. Madonna was one of those very people, who took to her Instagram Stories on Thursday (Feb. 20) to criticize the post.
Trending on Billboard
“I thought this country was built by Europeans, escaping living under the rule of a King, to establish a New World governed by the people,” she wrote. “Currently, we have a president who calls himself our King. If this is a joke, I’m not laughing.”
This is far from the first time that Madonna has responded negatively to actions from the Trump administration. Following Trump’s first inauguration in Jan. 2017, the musician addressed a crowd of over 500,000 women and men at the Women’s March on Washington, with her expletive-laden speech airing uncensored on C-Span, CNN and MSNBC.
“Welcome to the revolution of love, to the rebellion, to our refusal as women to accept this new age of tyranny, where not just women are in danger but all marginalized people, where being uniquely different right now might truly be considered a crime,” she told the gathered masses. “It took this horrific moment of darkness to wake us the f— up.”
More recently, Madonna responded to Trump’s myriad executive orders eliminating diversity, equity and inclusion positions within government branches and agencies, and numerous orders repealing protections for LGBTQIA+ individuals and members of other marginalized communities.
“It’s so sad to watch our new Government slowly dismantling all the Freedoms we have been fighting for and WON over the years,” she wrote, accompanying her post with a pride flag and a broken heart emoji. “Don’t give up the Fight!”
