Bad Bunny Claims Album of the Year at Grammys Amidst Political Statements
The 68th Annual Grammy Awards saw bad Bunny take home the coveted Album of the Year honor for Debi tirar mas fotos (I should have taken more photos), while Kendrick Lamar and SZA were jointly recognized with Record of the Year for “Luther.” The ceremony, hosted by comedian Trevor Noah, was marked not only by musical triumphs but also by powerful statements on social and political issues.
The evening unfolded on Sunday with a series of notable wins, including Olivia Dean being named Best New Artist and siblings Billie Eilish and Finneas earning Song of the Year for “Wildflower.” However, it was Bad Bunny’s acceptance speech that resonated beyond the musical accolades, turning the event into a platform for advocacy.
Bad Bunny, who is slated too headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show next week, used his moment on stage to directly criticize the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.”Before I thank God, I want to say: ICE out!” he declared, adding, “We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are human beings, and we are Americans.”
The call for change wasn’t isolated to Bad Bunny’s speech. Billie Eilish also referenced ICE during her acceptance of Song of the Year, stating, “no one is illegal on stolen land,” a pointed commentary on the past context of the United States and its treatment of Indigenous communities.
A conversation between Bad Bunny and Noah just prior to the Album of the year proclamation further highlighted these themes. When Noah jokingly asked if he could relocate to Puerto Rico should conditions in the US deteriorate, Bad Bunny swiftly responded, “Trevor, I have some news for you. Puerto Rico is part of America.”
Support for immigrant communities extended beyond verbal statements. Several artists, including Kehlani and Gloria Estefan, publicly voiced their solidarity. On the red carpet, a visible display of protest emerged as numerous celebrities, including Justin and Hailey Bieber and Joni Mitchell, wore “ICE out” pins.
