The Puerto Rican superstar has garnered a remarkable 15 nominations for this year’s awards, including Artist of the Year, Tour of the Year, and Latin Artist of the Year in the Global 200 category.
The 2023 Billboard Latin Music Awards will be broadcast live on Telemundo on October 5th, starting at 7 pm/6c from Miami, Florida.
