‘Woman of the Year’ Award for Ángela Aguilar Sparks Controversy: Reason
The singer also took a moment to recognize her fellow awardees, sharing how their stories inspire her
Ángela Aguilar, the youngest member of the Aguilar Dynasty, continues to be in the spotlight. At just 21 years old, the singer of ‘La Llorona’ was awarded Glamour magazine’s ‘Woman of the Year’ in the Regional Music Award category. While this is a major recognition, it has sparked some controversy. A wave of criticism surfaced on social media, with some questioning the decision to give her this honor.
At the ceremony on November 13, Ángela thanked everyone emotionally, highlighting the privilege of being part of Mexican music: “The true privilege was joining Mexican music, feeling supported by mariachi, and embracing the values and culture it carries. I don’t take this honor lightly.”
The young singer also took a moment to recognize her fellow awardees, sharing how their stories inspire her. However, it was her closing words that stood out the most: “I’m not here to give advice, but I want you to never silence your voice, always be true to yourselves, and take control of your own story.”

Criticism and Support on Social Media
While many people praised her speech, others on social media questioned whether Ángela really deserved the award, especially after the controversy surrounding her recent marriage to Christian Nodal. It’s important to note that rumors have been circulating following statements from Cazzu and Nodal’s response. After their breakup, Ángela found herself in the middle of it all.
Despite the criticism, the singer expressed her gratitude and stayed focused on continuing to work hard to earn the recognition. In her speech, she also thanked Nodal and his family, emphasizing the value of being surrounded by people who support her growth: “I’m grateful to my family, my husband, my friends, and to all the women who paved the way for me to be here tonight.”
Before wrapping up, Ángela left a message for the younger generation: “To all the girls watching us, never silence your voice. When we support each other, we achieve something even better.”
