Colombia's Shakira won Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Album for El Dorado at the 18th Latin GRAMMY Awards.

The win marked her 11th career Latin GRAMMY win, and first in this category.

This past week, Shakira — who was not present in Las Vegas to accept the award — postponed her worldwide tour in support of El Dorado after suffering a vocal cord hemorrhage.

"In all the years that I have been singing, I never found myself in a similar situation," she wrote on Facebook. "For this and with great regret I must announce that I am obliged to postpone my European tour until 2018, to allow my body some weeks necessary and dedicated to my full recovery."

Shakira's fellow nominees for Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Album were David Bisbal, Alejandro Fernández, Camila Luna, and Sebastián Yatra.

GRAMMY winner Lin-Manuel Miranda of "Hamilton" fame was feted with special recognition in the form of a President's Merit Award. "No one gets here alone," said Miranda, who referred to himself as the "weird theater kid."

The 18th Latin GRAMMY Awards was all about dazzling performances as well.

Following a moment of silence for Puerto Rico and Mexico and the people affected by the recent natural disasters, Residente opened the show on a poignant note with his "Hijos Del Cañaveral."

Alejandro Sanz, the 2017 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year, was honored by fellow Latin GRAMMY winner Juan Luis Guerra. After dedicating the award to his family, Sanz performed a medley of his hits, including "Corazón Partío."
