Ivy Queen, known as the "Queen of Reggaeton," has been a trailblazer since going solo in 1997. She previously received Billboard's Icon Award in 2023 for her groundbreaking contributions to the genre.

She recently won a 2026 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Music Artist and has previously been recognized at Billboard's Women in Music Awards with an Impact Award.
