The songstress decided to take a moment to express gratitude toward her mother on stage while receiving the award in the aforementioned category. Cabello said, “ Honestly, I had never taken a moment to talk about her like this, so I wanted to do it tonight.”

The singer added that when the world is “suffering”, the headlines make her chest “hurt” by the news related to war and death, with the scarcity of “compassion”. Her mother reminds her that there is love in this world.

The hitmaker continued that her mother inspires her and her sister with unlimited strength and non-ending energy, no matter how “exhausted” she is.

The I Luv It vocalist added that her mom shows her that hope in this world exists. Camila added, “Her best advice is not something she says but something she practices: her kindness, empathy, and, most importantly, how she treats people.”
