Hold onto your headphones, music lovers! Billboard just dropped a bombshell: global superstars Natti Natasha, Mexican-American sister duo Ha*Ash, and pop icon Belinda will be honored at the 2025 Billboard Latin Women in Music ceremony – and fans are already calling it the “most legendary night in Latin music history.”
The star-studded event, set to air live on Telemundo this June, will celebrate these trailblazing artists for their massive impact on Latin music, culture, and female empowerment. Insiders reveal each honoree will receive a custom award reflecting their unique career achievements.
Natti Natasha, the Dominican reggaeton queen, is being recognized as the “Global Powerhouse” after smashing records with hits like Criminal and No Pare Remix. Her groundbreaking collabs with Bad Bunny and Becky G have redefined urban music, while her advocacy for women’s rights has made her a voice for millions.
Mexican-American sisters Ha*Ash – aka Hanna and Ashley Pérez – are snagging the “Dynamic Duo” honor. With tear-jerking ballads like 30 de Febrero and Lo Aprendí de Ti, they’ve dominated Latin pop for nearly two decades. Fans credit their raw lyrics about heartbreak and resilience for “saving lives” (yes, Twitter said that).
Then there’s Belinda, the Spanish-Mexican pop phenomenon, who’s earning the “Eternal Icon” trophy. From Disney Channel fame to bangers like Luz Sin Gravedad, she’s reinvented herself while championing LGBTQ+ rights. Rumors say she’ll debut a new single during her acceptance speech – cue the fireworks!
Billboard’s announcement sent social media into meltdown. One fan tweeted, “HA*ASH AND BELINDA IN ONE ROOM? MY 2000s KID HEART CAN’T HANDLE THIS.” Others are begging for a surprise collab: “Natti x Belinda track WHEN?!”
The Latin Women in Music gala, now in its third year, previously honored legends like Shakira, Karol G, and Thalía. But 2025’s lineup is shaking things up by spotlighting artists who’ve dominated both charts and social change.
Mark your calendars: June 7, 2025. Will you be watching?
