The 26th Annual Billboard Latin Music Awards are tonight on Telemundo, honoring Latin music’s top recording artists this year. Ahead of the ceremony, nominees, performers, presenters, and invited guests will take the red carpet to pose for photos and answer interview questions in stunning designer looks.
Entertainment Tonight will be on the red carpet with a pre-show starting at 6pm ET, an hour before the Latin Music Awards begin. To watch their red carpet coverage online, visit their ETLive streaming page here. Alternatively, you can stream the red carpet via their ET Live app. Earlier in the day, ET Live will be streaming their coverage of Roc Nation’s charity basketball event “Roc Da Court,” benefiting the Boys and Girls Club Las Vegas. A number of Latinx stars will be present at that event.

Telemundo describes the 2019 awards as “The annual event that honors the biggest and most popular stars of Latin music. The most prestigious award in the Latin music industry” (translated from Spanish). According to Billboard, the Latin Music Awards are actually the conclusion of a whole Billboard Latin Music week, which took place from April 22 to 25; it is considered “the biggest and longest-running event dedicated to Latin Music in the world.” Awards will be presented in 59 categories.
The Latin Music Awards are being held at the Mandalay Bay Arts Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, which is where they were held last year, too.
