THE WARNING Takes Home First LATIN GRAMMY Award As 'Ego' Wins 'Best Rock Song'

THE WARNING, the sister trio from Monterrey, Mexico, continues their global ascent by winning their first Latin Grammy in the "Best Rock Song" category for "Ego" at the 27th annual Latin Grammy Awards, held Thursday night (November 12) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The award went to songwriters Anton Curtis Delost, Mónica Vélez Domínguez, Niko Rubio, Alejandra Villarreal, Daniela Villarreal and Paulina Villarreal, who share the song's songwriting credits. The win marks a significant moment in THE WARNING's international career and follows their previous nomination in the same category for "Qué Más Quieres" in 2024.

In addition to receiving the award, Daniela "Dany", Paulina "Pau" and Alejandra "Ale" Villarreal took part in a moving tribute to Mexico's musical roots, honoring the legacy of José Alfredo Jiménez, an icon of regional Mexican music. Under the direction of Edgar Barrera, THE WARNING shared the stage with Reik, Sofía Reyes, Yami Safdie and Camila Fernández in a performance celebrating the influence and legacy of one of the defining figures in Mexican music.

Written entirely in Spanish, "Ego" combines electric guitars, powerful riffs, and a commanding energy. Its lyrics address outside judgment and criticism from a place of confidence and empowerment, reaffirming the band's identity and artistic purpose. THE WARNING's win highlights the international reach of rock made in Mexico at a pivotal moment in its artistic evolution.

Made up of sisters Daniela "Dany" Villarreal (guitar and lead vocals),Paulina "Pau" Villarreal (drums and vocals) and Alejandra "Ale" Villarreal (bass),THE WARNING has built an international career and established itself as one of its generation's most recognized rock acts. Their first Latin Grammy win adds to a career defined by a growing global audience and history-making achievements. Most recently, THE WARNING became the first Mexican and first all-female band to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart with their single "Kerosene" from their critically acclaimed fifth studio album, "Everything's Falling", which debuted in the Top 20 on the Billboard 200 chart upon release.

Up next, THE WARNING is set to headline the halftime show at the 2026 NFL Mexico City game at Estadio Banorte Stadium on November 22. Then, the band will hit the road in 2027 on their "Everything's Falling World Tour", which will see the trio headline venues across Mexico, Europe, and North America through the spring, including their first-ever headline stadium show in Mexico City to over 65,000 fans.

THE WARNING grew up writing songs, playing shows, and sharpening their craft together in Monterrey, Mexico. That lifelong bond between sister Daniela "Dany" (guitar, lead vocals, piano),Paulina "Pau" (drums, vocals, piano),and Alejandra "Ale" Villarreal (bass, piano, backing vocals) fuels their uncompromising vision and drives the chemistry that powers the band. After building a global audience with early independent releases, THE WARNING broke through with "Error" (2022) and "Keep Me Fed" (2024). The latter pushed their career streams past 710 million and earned a Latin Grammy nomination for "Best Rock Song" for "Qué Más Quieres", alongside nominations at the MTV VMAs and MTV EMAs. Relentless touring has taken them around the world, headlining packed venues and sharing stages with artists including Yungblud, Halsey, EVANESCENCE, MUSE and FOO FIGHTERS. In 2025, they capped off the cycle with sold-out shows for 30,000 fans in Mexico City, captured on the live album and concert film "Live From Auditorio Nacional, CDMX", which screened in AMC and Cinépolis theaters. In 2026, THE WARNING launched their next era with the singles "Kerosene", "Ego" and "Ritual", setting the stage for "Everything's Falling", the band's most ambitious and personal work yet.
