2022 Latin GRAMMYs: Sebastián Yatra & John Legend Give "Tacones Rojos" A New Twist With A Dazzling Performance

Shortly after Sebastián Yatra’s "Tacones Rojos" won the Colombian star his first two Latin GRAMMYs, he lit up the stage with an electric performance alongside John Legend.

Sebastián Yatra shook things up at the 2022 Latin Grammy Awards with his performance of "Tacones Rojos." The Colombian singer/songwriter was joined by John Legend for a special Spanglish duet version of the hit — and now Latin GRAMMY-winning — song.

Yatra and Legend channeled the spirit of cabaret with their lively performance. Starting out with Yatra singing in black-and-white, Legend soon emerged upon a stage full of color and pizzazz. Legend translated Yatra's loving lyrics into English during the performance as Yatra belted out the Spanish lyrics. Backed by a full band and a crew of cabaret dancers, their voices soared as they spread the love behind Yatra's global hit. 

Before the show began, Yatra celebrated his first Latin GRAMMY win thanks to "Tacones Rojos." The track was awarded the Latin GRAMMY for Best Pop Song in a tie with Jorge Drexler's "La Guerrilla De La Concordia." And just before he took the stage to perform, he won his second Latin GRAMMY, for Best Pop Vocal Album.

Yatra is a four-time nominee at this year's Latin GRAMMY Awards, with "Tacones Rojos" also scoring a nod for Song of the Year. He's also nominated for the coveted Album of the Year.

To date, Yatra has won two Latin GRAMMYs and received a total of 12 Latin GRAMMY nominations; "Tacones Rojos" marks his fourth nomination for Song Of The Year.

Stay tuned for a clip of the performance, and check out the complete list of winners and nominees at the 2022 Latin GRAMMYs.

In May 2022, Christina Aguilera made a stunning return to Latin music with ‘Aguilera.’ Six months later, she won her second Latin GRAMMY — and she made sure to thank everyone who was part of the journey.

GRAMMYs/Nov 17, 2023 - 06:01 pm

Last year, pop diva Christina Aguilera returned to her Ecuadorian roots with Aguilera, her first full Spanish-language album since Mi Reflejo (2000). By the end of the year, she snagged multiple awards for the LP, including Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album at the 2022 Latin GRAMMY Awards.

In this episode of GRAMMY Rewind, revisit the moment Aguilera took the stage to accept her gramophone for her self-titled project.

"This is so important to me, and it's been amazing to come back to this home," Aguilera shared before expressing gratitude to her collaborators and longtime supporters.

"The fans, the Fighters, thank you so much!" She squealed. "We've been on this journey for so long, so I couldn't thank you more."

It was quite an eventful night for Aguilera. She received seven nominations in total — including Album Of The Year and Record and Song Of The Year for "Pa Mis Muchachas" — and delivered a show-stopping performance of "Cuando Me Dé la Gana" with Christian Nodal.

For the 24th Latin GRAMMYs Awards, Latin music's biggest artists graced Sevilla, Spain’s royal red carpet in their most dazzling outfits.

The 2023 Latin GRAMMYs are not just The Biggest Night In Latin Music — it was also an occasion for the leading lights in Latin music to don a plethora of eye-catching outfits. Just as many of the nominated artists blend genres and break barriers, so too did their sartorial choices.

Artists including Rosalía, Karol G, Bizarrap, Peso Pluma, Juanes, and Sebastián Yatra donned jaw-dropping award show looks. Daniela Santiago, Liz Trujillo and Sandra Calixto of Música Mexicana group Conexión Divina coordinated their all black and leather ensembles, while singer/songwriter Natalia Lafourcade — who took home multiple Latin GRAMMYs for, including Record Of The Year, for "De Todas Las Flores" — added a satin green touch to the red carpet. 

The most-nominated artists at the 2023 Latin GRAMMYs are Camilo, Karol G and Shakira, each of whom have seven nominations. Songwriter and composer Keityn also received seven nominations. Edgar Barrera, who took home the Latin GRAMMY Award for Producer Of The Year, led the night with 13 nominations. 

Hosted by Latin GRAMMY winner and performer Sebsatián Yatra, GRAMMY nominee and actress Danna Paola, along with critically-acclaimed actresses Roselyn Sánchez and Paz Vega — who each also made fashion statements — the 2023 Latin GRAMMYs were an aural and visual night to remember. 

Here are some of our favorite looks from the red carpet at the FIBES Conference and Exhibition Centre in Sevilla, Spain.

Watch: Sebastián Yatra Lights Up The 2023 Latin GRAMMYs With A Dreamy Performance Of "Energia Bacana" And "Vagabundo"

Taking a break from co-hosting the show, Colombian star Sebastián Yatra took the stage to perform a medley of "Energia Bacana" and "Vagabundo."

GRAMMYs/Nov 16, 2023 - 10:33 pm

Sebastián Yatra pulled double duty at the 2023 Latin GRAMMY Awards. Along with co-hosting this year's ceremony with Mexican singer Danna Paola, Puerto Rican presenter Roselyn Sánchez, and Spanish actress Paz Vega, the Colombian pop star also performed a medley of his hits "Energia Bacana" and "Vagabundo." 

Yatra started the performance with a dreamy rendition of his latest single, "Energia Bacana." His voice soared as he belted out the sexy love song. 

Yatra then turned the awards into a party with the feel-good "Vagabundo." Though he sang it without his collaborators Manuel Turizo and Beéle, he was joined by a full team of dancers. Flames and pyrotechnics appeared behind Yatra as he brought down the house with his merengue-infused banger. 

A 12-time Latin GRAMMY nominee, Yatra received one nod this year for Best Pop Song, for "Contigo" featuring Spanish artist Pablo Alborán. (The award ultimately went to Shakira and Bizarrap for "Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53," which was the first Latin GRAMMY awarded on the telecast.)

Yatra won his first two Latin GRAMMYs at the 2022 ceremony, where he took home Best Pop Song for the feel-good hit "Tacones Rojos" and Best Pop Vocal Album for Dharma. The singer also delivered one of the most unforgettable performances of the night when John Legend joined him to perform a Spanglish version of "Tacones Rojos." 

As he works on his follow-up to Dharma, Yatra has released four songs in 2023, including the two he brought to the 2023 Latin GRAMMYs stage.
