Social media was flooded Friday (Oct. 10) with messages of joy and congratulations for Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, who was announced in the morning as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize — including posts by several Venezuelan singers in exile.

“What a source of pride, my GOD. Waking up to this news today is something historic,” wrote singer-songwriter Danny Ocean, who has spoken openly (and even sung) about Venezuela’s political crisis, in a lengthy post on X (formerly Twitter). “Today, peace has the face of a woman, and nothing is more inspiring than waking up to news like this,” expressed singer-songwriter Elena Rose on her Instagram Stories, calling the honoree a “warrior of the light.”
