Sarai Rivera Celebrates First-Ever Latin GRAMMY Nomination

September 22, 2026

Sarai Rivera is celebrating a landmark moment in her career with her first-ever Latin GRAMMY® nomination, adding to a rapidly growing list of career milestones for the acclaimed Latin Christian artist.

The nomination arrives during an exciting season of momentum for Rivera. She was recently announced as part of the Air1 Tour, introducing her music to audiences across the country, and will also take the stage as a presenter on the telecast of the upcoming GMA Dove Awards, as well as performing during the show’s pre-telecast, further expanding her presence within the broader Christian music community.

Together, the Latin GRAMMY® nomination, Air1 Tour and Dove Awards appearance mark a significant period of growth for Rivera as she continues to build a bridge between the Latin and English-language Christian music communities.

“Being nominated for a Latin GRAMMY® is honestly surreal,” shares Rivera. “To be recognized by my peers for music that means so much to me is incredibly special.”

Rivera has steadily built a passionate international audience through powerful vocals, deeply personal songwriting and a message rooted in faith. Her music has connected with listeners across countries and cultures, establishing her as an increasingly prominent voice in Latin Christian music.

Now, that reach is expanding.

Her addition to the Air1 Tour represents another important step in introducing Rivera to the broader U.S. Christian music audience, while her upcoming appearance at the GMA Dove Awards places her alongside artists and industry leaders from across Christian and Gospel music.

“I’m so grateful for everyone who has been part of this journey, and there’s so much more coming,” Rivera adds. “I’m excited to keep reaching new audiences in both Spanish and English.”

The Latin GRAMMY® Awards, presented by The Latin Recording Academy, recognize outstanding achievement in Latin music and celebrate artists and creators from around the world.
