With 7 nominations to her credit for work found aboard her latest Spanish album, ‘Aguilera,’ Pop diva Christina Aguilera entered the 2022 Latin GRAMMYs Thursday night (November 17) as a top contender for some of the night’s biggest honors including Album and Record of the Year.

Ultimately walking away with the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album honor, Christina – defeating Sin Bandera‘s ‘Frecuencia,’ Fonseca‘s ‘Viajante,’ Marta Gomez‘s ‘Filarmonico 20 Anos,’ and Kurt‘s ‘La Vida’ for the win – nabbed the second Latin GRAMMY of her career.  It comes over 20 years after her first triumph in the Best Female Pop Vocal Album for her inaugural Spanish-language release, 2000’s ‘Mi Reflejo.’

Accepting the new award wasn’t the only time Aguilera graced the stage at Las Vegas’ Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino Thursday, however.
