2026 Grammy Awards: Bad Bunny makes history

Bad Bunny’s “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” won the album of the year award and was the first time a Spanish-language album was given the top prize, The Associated Press reported.

While accepting the Grammy, he said he dedicated the win to “all the people who had to leave their homeland, their country, to follow their dreams,” CNN reported.

He wasn’t the only artist to make history.

“Golden” from “KPop Demon Hunters” also went into the history books with “Golden,” which won for best song written for visual media as part of the Premiere Ceremony. The Netflix film was nominated in four categories, including Song of the Year. It was K-pop’s first win at any Grammy Awards ceremony, NBC News reported. The film also won at the Critics’ Choice Awards for best animated feature and best song and the Golden Globes for best animated motion picture and best original song in a motion picture.

Kendrick Lamar broke a record with five wins, including best rap album and record of the year. He is now the most-awarded rap artist in the history of the awards, CNN reported.

The in memoriam segment paid tribute to several artists we’ve lost, including the “Prince of Darkness,” Ozzy Osbourne, as Post Malone, Chad Smith, Duff McKagan, Slash and Andrew Watt performed Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs,” the AP reported.

Lauryn Hill paid tribute to D’Angelo with songs “Nothing Even Matters,” “Brown Sugar” and “Lady” before she sang “First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” and “Killing Me Softly with His Song” to honor Roberta Flack.

The show was once again hosted by Trevor Noah. The broadcast was his sixth, and final time, Forbes reported.
