Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny made history at the 68th Grammy Awards, becoming the first Latin artist to win Album of the Year in the ceremony’s 68-year history.
The milestone came during a night where several artists aimed at the Trump administration’s immigration policies, blending music and advocacy on a global stage.
Bad Bunny also claimed the Best Global Music Performance award for his track EoO, prevailing over a diverse group of nominees including Ciro Hurtado, Angélique Kidjo, Yeisy Rojas, Shakti, and Anoushka Shankar. The accolade highlighted the song’s international appeal and Bad Bunny’s ever-evolving musical style.
The 31-year-old musician’s sixth studio album, Debí Tirar Mas Fotos, earned the night’s top honour, besting heavyweight competitors Lady Gaga and Kendrick Lamar.
The album, a deeply personal reflection on Puerto Rico’s musical heritage, showcased Bad Bunny’s ability to merge storytelling with cultural commentary.
In his acceptance speech, Bad Bunny dedicated the award to immigrants, paying tribute to those who “leave their home, land, their country, to follow their dreams.” His message resonated with the night’s broader themes of resilience and global solidarity.
