It seems to be Bad Bunny's year, and the Puerto Rican superstar proved it in a big way at the 2026 Grammy Awards.
The singer and rapper won Album of the Year for 'DeBI TiRAR MaS FOToS,' making history as the first Spanish-language artist to take home the top prize in this category. Soon after his name was announced, Bunny appeared visibly emotional as he tried to hold back tears while walking to the stage. In his acceptance speech, he first spoke in Spanish and proudly discussed his roots. He began by expressing love for his home and reminded everyone of Puerto Rico's strength, saying, "Puerto Rico... believe me when I say we're a lot bigger than 135," referring to a highway that runs across the island, according to PEOPLE. "Nothing exists that we can't achieve. Thank you, God. Thank you to the Academy. Thank you to all the people who have believed in me throughout my career. [I want to thank] all the people who worked on this album. Thank you, mommy, for birthing me in Puerto Rico. I love you." Bunny also dedicated the award to people who leave their countries to chase their dreams. He spoke about this with great emotion, saying, "I want to dedicate... this award to all the people who had to leave their homeland, their country, to follow their dreams," as per PEOPLE. He continued in Spanish, speaking about strength and loss. He shared how the award is for those who have gone through pain but kept moving forward, saying, "To all the people... who have lost a loved one and have needed to keep going with much strength, this award is for you. Thank you for so much love. I love you." Bad Bunny was competing against big names like Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar, Tyler, the Creator, and others. This was not his only win of the night. He also won Best Musica Urbana Album for DTMF and Best Global Music Performance for the song "EoO." (ANI)
