Get ready for a musical sensation at this year's BRIT Awards! The Spanish powerhouse, Rosalía, is set to take the stage for the very first time at the prestigious BRIT Awards 2026 with Mastercard. This is a momentous occasion, as Rosalía, a true trailblazer, has revolutionized the global pop scene with her fearless genre-bending and experimental spirit.
Nominated for International Artist of the Year, Rosalía has dominated the Spanish music scene with an impressive 13 number 1 hits at home, and she's also scooped up 2 Grammy Awards and a whopping 11 Latin Grammy Awards!
But here's where it gets controversial... Rosalía's breakthrough album, 'EL MAR QUERER', shattered the boundaries between R&B, hip-hop, pop, and flamenco, solidifying her status as a groundbreaking artist. Her latest album, 'Lux', debuted at Number 1 in five countries and showcased her versatility by performing in 14 different languages. 'Lux' broke records, becoming the most-streamed album in a single day by a Spanish-speaking female artist, and it's the highest-charting album by a Spanish female artist in Official Chart history. Quite the achievement, right?
And this is the part most people miss... Rosalía's global impact extends beyond her music. Her upcoming Lux Tour 2026 will see her perform in an impressive 15 countries as part of a massive 57-show arena run.
The BRIT Awards 2026 promises to be a star-studded affair, with other performers like Harry Styles, Olivia Dean, and Wolf Alice joining Rosalía. The show will be hosted by the award-winning comedian and writer, Jack Whitehall, at the new Manchester venue, Co-op Live.
But wait, there's more! The BRITs have opened the public vote for Song of the Year with Mastercard and International Song of the Year, exclusively on WhatsApp as part of their partnership with Meta. Fans can vote once daily until 6 pm GMT on Friday, February 13th. It's as easy as sending a WhatsApp message!
