“I’ve always talked about how much it means to me to be Latina, but the pride of being Mexican is something else,” Becky said. “Throughout my career, I’ve mixed and played with different genres as an artist because there are a lot that inspire me, but being Mexican not only inspires my music.” She continued, stating that her Mexican roots define the way she loves her family and significant others.

Becky also delivered one of the most anticipated performances of the night with Peso Pluma, singing “Chanel,” a song about leaving a past relationship behind for a brighter future. “Chanel” is Becky’s first single from her upcoming album set to be released later this year.
