Rosalía has made history again after having become the first Catalan artist to win two MTV awards.

The singing sensation from Sant Esteve Sesrovires picked up two such prizes on Monday, for 'best coreography' and 'best Latin' categories, both for the song 'Con Altura,' featuring J. Balvin as well.

Rosalía, known for shaking up the world of flamenco introducing urban vibes, mentioned her roots in her acceptance speech.

"Thank you, I wasn’t expecting this, it is such an incredible honor, I am coming from Barcelona and I am so happy to be here representing where I come from, my culture."
