Brazilian trans artist Liniker wins big at Latin Grammys, while her country leads the world in trans killings

Brazilian artist Liniker made historical past at the 2025 Latin Grammy Awards, successful three main classes — after coming into the night time with seven nominations, together with all the “Big Four” classes she was eligible for. Already the first-ever out transgender artist to win a Latin Grammy, Liniker now stands as the most celebrated Brazilian artist of 2025. But her triumph unfolds towards a stark actuality: Brazil stays, for the seventeenth consecutive yr, the deadliest country in the world for trans folks.
