Recognized in the Best Long Form Video Category, the “MOTOMAMI LIVE” Performance by Rosalía Marks TikTok’s First-Ever Latin GRAMMY or GRAMMY Award Nomination
The News:
Rosalía, the Grammy Award winning recording artist, producer and songwriter, took TikTok by storm with her “MOTOMAMI LIVE” performance on TikTok LIVE earlier this year, bringing 14 tracks of her forthcoming album MOTOMAMI to life. Today, Rosalía’s astounding TikTok LIVE earned a nomination at the 2022 Latin Grammy Awards in the Best Long Form Video category. The nomination is the first-ever Grammy or Latin Grammy award nomination for TikTok, and is one of seven for Rosalía at the forthcoming ceremony.
Broadcast on TikTok LIVE on March 17th, “MOTOMAMI LIVE” featured full-scale performances of 14 songs from the Barcelona-born artist’s Album Of The Year-nominated 3rd studio effort, each with its own unique look and feel. Conceptualized by Rosalía and directed by STILLZ, the one-of-a-kind performance was filmed entirely on mobile phones, drawing nearly 4 million unique viewers across four broadcasts.
Rosalía remains one of the most beloved artists on the platform, with 26 million followers and multiple trending songs. She is behind some of the biggest international songs on TikTok , including last year’s “Linda,” a dembow duet with Dominican artist Tokischa (over 1.7 million video creations), and the award winning, hypnotic, J Balvin-featuring 2019 hit “Con Altura” (224k creations). Recently, Rosalía reached trending status with MOTOMAMI highlight “BIZCOCHITO” (2.5 million video creations) and with “DESPECHA” (4.4 million creations), a standout cut from the recently released MOTOMAMI + deluxe edition that became the artist’s first solo hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
