On 20 August 2018, Camila Cabello (Cuba, b. Karla Camila Cabello Estrabao) became the second recipient of the Artist of the Year award at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), beating the likes of Cardi B, Drake and Ariana Grande to the prize at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, USA.
Inaugurated in 2017 to replace the gender-specific Best Video awards, Artist of the Year had previously been won by Ed Sheeran. Cabello was the only Latin artist to take home the award until Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny triumphed in 2022.
