Los Angeles — Political statements and striking personal style converged at the Grammy Awards on Sunday, as numerous artists displayed “ICE OUT” pins on the red carpet, signaling support for protesters in Minneapolis and raising awareness about immigration issues.
Grammys 2026: Style Statements and Solidarity Take Center Stage
Artists at the 68th annual Grammy Awards used the red carpet to express both fashion creativity and political viewpoints.
- Kehlani, Joni Mitchell, and Bon Iver were among the musicians who wore the “ICE OUT” pins.
- FKA Twigs, a first-time Grammy winner, captivated attendees with her unique red carpet look.
- Sabrina Carpenter, nominated for six awards, shone in a crystal-embellished gown.
- Bad Bunny dedicated his award to those who have left their homelands in pursuit of their dreams.
The Grammy Awards have long served as a platform for artists to make statements beyond their music, and this year’s event was no exception. The display of “ICE OUT” pins highlighted concerns surrounding an immigration crackdown and demonstrated solidarity with those affected.
Beyond the political messaging, the red carpet was a showcase of innovative and memorable fashion choices. FKA Twigs, celebrating her first Grammy win, opted for a tastefully tattered gown, accessorizing with a small book and a vibrant red anthurium flower instead of a traditional purse.
Sabrina Carpenter, a frequent standout on any red carpet, also delivered a breathtaking look in a sheer, tiered gown adorned with crystals. Carpenter received six nominations this year, including bids for record of the year, song of the year, and album of the year for “Man’s Best Friend.”
Bad Bunny used his moment on stage to deliver a powerful message, dedicating his award to “all the people who have had to leave their homeland, their country, to follow their dreams.”
