Bad Bunny won album of the year for "Debí Tirar Más Fotos," the first Spanish-language album to receive the Grammys' most prestigious prize. He was visibly emotional as he accepted the award, which was presented by Harry Styles.

Kendrick Lamar led the night with five trophies, including record of the year ("Luther") and best rap album ("GNX"). His haul brought his career total to 27 Grammys, making him the Grammys' winningest rapper.

The ceremony included explicit political statements and visible signs of protest: several artists wore "ICE OUT" pins. Bad Bunny said, "Before I say thanks to God, I'm going to say ICE out," and Billie Eilish, accepting song of the year, said, "No one is illegal on stolen land."

Other notable moments included Billie Eilish and Finneas winning song of the year for "Wildflower" for a third time, the first Grammy for a K-pop song in a visual-media category, and wins for artists such as Lady Gaga and Jelly Roll.
