Becky G also nabbed a "2019 MTV EMA" nomination for "Best Pop" alongside Ariana Grande, Camila Cabello, Halsey, the Jonas Brothers and Shawn Mendes.

The 22-year-old global superstar's achievements include two number one hits on the Billboard Latin Airplay Charts ("Mayores" & "Sin Pijama"), a starring role in "Power Rangers," and guest-starring in Fox TV's Emmy-winning "Empire" series.

She won two 2018 Latin American Music Awards, for Favorite Female Artist and Favorite Urban Song (for "Mayores") and was awarded YouTube's Diamond Play Button for surpassing 10 million followers on the platform.

Becky has been honored by the Latin Recording Academy as one of the Leading Ladies in entertainment (2018) and by her home city of Inglewood, California for her contributions to the Hispanic community; and has been recognized as one of Rolling Stone's "18 Teens Shaking Up Pop Culture" and one of Billboard's "21 Under 21." This month she will be honored with the Extraordinary Evolution Award at the 2019 Latin American Music Awards for her success as a young performer who has reached the pinnacle of success in a short period of time.
