She's the first Brazilian artist to ever take home a moonperson.
The "Lobby" singer became the first ever Brazilian artist to take home a MTV Video Music Awards during Sunday night's televised ceremony. The star took home a moonperson for "Best Latin" for her viral hit song "Envolver", following a show stopping performance of the same track just minutes before. The category was a highly competitive one, featuring Latin music heavyweights such as Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Becky G and Karol G, and Daddy Yankee also nominated.
"I really wasn't expecting that, I think I'm going to cry," said Anitta onstage while accepting her award. "I just want to say for whoever doesnt know this, tonight in history is the first time ever that Brazil...it's the first time ever that my country has warn an award [like this]. I just want to say thank you to my family and to my fans.""Tonight I performed here a rhythm that in my country for many years was considered a crime," she continued.
“I love to be a chameleon that wakes up every day and decides which woman she wants to be," she said.Bianca Betancourt is the Culture Editor at HarpersBAZAAR.com where she covers all things music, film, and TV.
