US EditionBad Bunny Won Big at the 2026 Grammys. It’s a Boost at a Dark Time for US Latinos
Bad Bunny's 2025 album was the most-streamed globally, and nearly half of televised awards addressed immigration amid rising anti-immigrant actions, Recording Academy data shows.
- At the 68th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, Feb. 1, 2026, Bad Bunny won Album of the Year for Deb� Tirar M�s Fotos, which industry experts labeled the most deserving.
- By marrying folkloric and contemporary styles, the album helped it stand out, amid the Recording Academy adding 3,800 new members in 2025, changing voting demographics.
- Of the nine televised awards handed to seven artists, nearly half included immigration statements, and Bad Bunny denounced Immigration and Customs Enforcement saying, `We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens`.
- The win positions the all-Spanish language release as a cultural milestone, offering symbolic uplift to the communities targeted by immigration enforcement, as commentator Díaz said it is 'a little bit of light.'
- Against a backdrop of recent mass deportations and hundreds detained in Puerto Rico since late January 2025, the win gains broader resonance as Bad Bunny will perform at the Super Bowl halftime show next week.
