Grammys 2026: Bad Bunny Wins Big, Dalai Lama Honored, Sparks China's Ire

Grammy Awards 2026: Bad Bunny Makes History, Kendrick Lamar Dominates, and Immigration Protests Take Center Stage

The 2026 Grammy Awards, held Sunday night, saw Bad Bunny make history as the first Latin artist to win Album of the Year, while Kendrick Lamar dominated the awards with four wins, including Record of the Year. The ceremony, hosted by Trevor Noah for the sixth consecutive year, was also marked by political statements, particularly regarding immigration policies, and criticism from China over an award given to the Dalai Lama.

Bad Bunny took home the coveted Album of the Year award for "Debí Tirar Mas Fotos," dedicating the win to immigrants. "He dedicated the award to immigrants who 'leave their home, land, their country, to follow their dreams'," according to BBC World. The win came a week before he is scheduled to headline the Super Bowl halftime show.

Kendrick Lamar led the nominations with nine and won four Grammys, including Record of the Year, Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song, and Best Melodic Rap Performance, according to CBS News. His album "GNX" marked his fifth consecutive studio album nominated for Album of the Year, a first for any artist, Variety reported.

Several artists used their acceptance speeches to voice support for immigrants amid ongoing backlash to the Trump administration's immigration policy and mass deportation campaign, ABC News reported. Olivia Dean, winner of the Best New Artist award, noted her own family's immigrant history, stating, "I'm up here as a granddaughter of an immigrant," according to ABC News.

The Dalai Lama won a Grammy for his audiobook, "Meditations: The Reflections of His Holiness the Dalai Lama." He said in a statement on his website that he saw the award as a recognition of our shared universal responsibility. "I receive this recognition with gratitude and humility," he stated. However, Beijing criticized the award, describing it as a tool for anti-China political manipulation, according to the Associated Press.

In other news, Fox News reported that former President Trump announced a two-year closure of the Trump Kennedy Center.
