Karol G is receiving her flowers — times two! At the 52nd American Music Awards on Monday, May 25, the Colombian singer was presented with the International Artist Award of Excellence by John Legend. "Wow. What an honor, John, that you gave me this award. It's legend. This is going to be a legend moment in my career for sure," Karol, 35, said with a smile. "I feel very, very grateful. First of all, thank you, God. He allows me to live the most incredible, amazing experience in my life. I want to say that more than anything, this career has given me the most important thing in my life: purpose." The "Tusa" artist continued, "I found purpose through my music. I'm just happy that I can perform a song, and I can say things in my songs that become a voice for a lot of people. A healing place, a safe place, and I just think that my life is meaningful because of my music and to help others through it." Karol concluded her speech with a message in Spanish: "For all of my fans all over the world, I love you so much, thank you." After her speech, Legend, 47, walked back to the mic and revealed that the "BICHOTA" performer won Best Latin Album for Tropicoqueta — and the singer-songwriter screamed in excitement. Before her award, Karol also took the stage for a special performance of "Ivonny Bonita," which was featured on Tropicoqueta.
