Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny made history at the 68th annual Grammy Awards on Feb. 1, 2026, winning Album of the Year for his critically acclaimed project Debí Tirar Más Fotos. The award — one of the most prestigious at the ceremony — marked the first time a Spanish-language album has ever received the top honour from the Grammy Awards, highlighting both the global influence of Latin music and a milestone moment in the Recording Academy’s history.
The album, which blends personal storytelling with Latin urban and global influences, also won additional Grammys, including Best Música Urbana Album and Best Global Music Performance for the track “EoO,” further underscoring Bad Bunny’s impact at the ceremony. Competing against a strong field that included albums by major artists such as Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar and others, Debí Tirar Más Fotos stood out as a culturally resonant favourite.
The Grammys, held in Los Angeles, also featured memorable moments beyond Bad Bunny’s win, with artists like Billie Eilish and Kendrick Lamar taking top prizes in other major categories. Lamar’s wins included Record of the Year, where he became the most-awarded rapper in Grammys history. The night also saw significant performances and tributes, including a dynamic opening by Bruno Mars and Rosé of BLACKPINK, and emotional musical tributes to late icons.
Bad Bunny’s acceptance speech was emotional and inspiring. He began in Spanish, expressing gratitude to his fans, friends and collaborators, and proudly mentioning his roots in Puerto Rico. He dedicated his historic win to immigrants and dreamers, encouraging others to embrace their heritage and pursue their aspirations. The moment was widely celebrated across the music industry and by fans worldwide, marking a symbolic moment for representation on one of music’s biggest stages.
The Album of the Year victory for Debí Tirar Más Fotos not only cements Bad Bunny’s status as a global superstar but also represents a broader shift in the music landscape, with non-English language projects gaining unprecedented recognition at the Grammys. The achievement is expected to inspire artists across genres and languages, highlighting the continued evolution and diversification of mainstream music accolades.
