With nine awards, Karol G was the night’s biggest winner at the 19th annual Premios Juventud ceremony, held Thursday. She was followed by Grupo Firme with four awards.
But while the winners and star-studded performances — such as Prince Royce, Daddy Yankee, CNCO, and J Balvin — were televised, a lot of action was happening backstage and on the red carpet.
1. Rain or Shine
As with any event, it was rain or shine at Premios Juventud. But unfortunately, it began to rain just about 45 minutes before the carpet closed. The press, crew, and talent — including Banda MS, who had just arrived — rushed to find cover nearby. Billboard was also in the middle of an interview with power couple Guaynaa and Lele Pons when the light showers began.

4. Backstage Serenatas
Behind the scenes, a wave of artists arrived at the media center to talk about their experience at the awards. Most excitingly, however, were the artists who performed a capella bits of their songs for the press. Tropical artists Michael Stuart, Manny Cruz, Luis Figueroa, and Luis Vazquez paid tribute to El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico; Alejo sang his reggaeton hit “Pantysito”; and Lenin Ramirez poured his heart out with his winning collab “En Tu Perra Vida.”
5. Angela Aguilar Wins PJ Awards
Also backstage, Angela Aguilar was surprised with her first-ever Premios Juventud wins, receiving the awards for female artist on the rise and Regional album of the year with Enamorada. After speaking with the press, she immediately rushed off stage to share the news with her dad and artist Pepe Aguilar. Read More...
