The singer also spoke about being an advocate for mental health, including her work with charities that help people gain access to mental health resources.

\"I actually think that a lot of the answers I got for mental health just made me stronger,\" she revealed. \"It gave me knowledge and I want nothing more than to help people who are experiencing the same thing.\"

Other honorees on the show, hosted by Sebastian Yatra, included Bad Bunny, Jessica Alba, America's essential workers and music legend Linda Ronstadt.
