NPR2/2/2026

Summary

Bad Bunny won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year at the 2026 Grammy Awards, making history as the first Spanish-language artist to receive this prestigious honor. He accepted the award in both Spanish and English, dedicating it to migrants. This win was part of a night where several artists used their platform to address immigration issues, particularly criticizing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. In addition to Bad Bunny's achievement, Billie Eilish won the Song of the Year award for her song "Wildflower." During her acceptance speech, she also condemned the actions of immigration authorities. Many artists at the event, including Eilish and Bad Bunny, wore "ICE out" pins to show their solidarity against ICE. The award for Song of the Year was presented by Harry Styles, who had previously won against Bad Bunny in 2023. The Grammy Awards became a platform for protest against ICE, with multiple winners addressing the topic in their speeches. The event highlighted the intersection of music and social issues, as artists took the opportunity to advocate for migrants and criticize immigration policies in the United States. The recognition of Bad Bunny and Eilish underscored the growing influence of artists in social and political discourse.
