✊ A Ceremony With a Voice

This year’s Grammys reflected more than just music - it echoed the cultural and political climate of 2026. Several artists used their platform to speak on immigration and unity with Bad Bunny and Billie Eilish explicitly calling out “ICE” in their speeches.

🗣️ Bad Bunny’s “ICE Out” Message

Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny used his Grammy acceptance speech to deliver one of the night’s most talked-about political moments. When accepting the Best Música Urbana Album award, he opened with a clear rebuke of ICE:

“Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say ICE out. We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens - we are humans and we are Americans”.
