Bad Bunny made history at the 68th Grammy Awards on Sunday, becoming the first artist to win Album of the Year with a Spanish-language album.

His album "DeBI TiRAR MaS FOToS" took the top honor, along with Best Musica Urbana Album. The win came just one week before he headlines the Super Bowl halftime show, marking a significant moment for Latin music on the global stage.

A Historic Night

Bad Bunny's wins parallel Kendrick Lamar's sweep last year, when the Compton rapper won major categories before his own Super Bowl performance. Bad Bunny used his acceptance speeches to address current events, speaking out against ICE raids and affirming the humanity of immigrant communities.

"We're not savage. We're not animals, we're not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans," he said during his speech for Best Musica Urbana Album.

Other Major Winners

Kendrick Lamar continued his winning streak from last year, taking home five additional Grammys. Olivia Dean won Best New Artist. Chris Stapleton won Best Country Album for "Bad As I Used To Be."

The telecast featured chaotic moments and viral highlights throughout the night, with several winners using their platform to address social and political issues.
