Overview
- Bad Bunny won Album of the Year for 'Debí tirar más fotos' — the first fully Spanish-language winner — alongside Best Urban Music Album and Best Global Music Performance.
- In an acceptance speech, he declared “ICE out” and said “we’re not savages… we are humans and we are Americans,” framing his comments as a call to respond with love rather than hatred.
- Artists across the Grammys echoed anti-ICE sentiments, with “ICE Out” pins visible and Billie Eilish declaring “Nobody is illegal on stolen land” before an expletive aimed at ICE.
- Conservative pushback accelerated online with calls to boycott Super Bowl advertisers and warnings of audience declines, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui labeled Bad Bunny’s work “toxic trash.”
- His Super Bowl LX halftime performance on Feb. 8 remains confirmed, and coverage notes the Recording Academy’s expanded, more diverse membership in 2025 as context for this year’s results.
