Bad Bunny Makes Grammy History With Album of the Year Win

Music history was made at the 2026 Grammy Awards when Bad Bunny won Album of the Year for Debí Tirar Más Fotos, becoming the first Spanish-language artist to take home the ceremony’s top prize. Critics praised the album as a deeply personal tribute to Puerto Rican identity, blending reggaeton roots, nostalgia, and intimate storytelling.

Bad Bunny also drew attention for his acceptance speech, where he criticized U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, saying “ICE out” and declaring, “We’re not savages. We’re humans and we are Americans.” The remarks sparked widespread reaction online, with supporters applauding the message and others questioning the role of politics at award shows.

Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar and SZA won Record of the Year for “Luther,” a collaboration widely described as one of the year’s most defining tracks. From historic wins to cultural flashpoints, the 2026 Grammys highlighted music’s growing global reach and influence.
