"Bad Bunny and Kendrick Lamar took home major Grammy awards during a night that saw musicians hit back at Donald Trump's ICE occupation. From Shaboozey to Carole King, artists wore anti-ICE pins while others also spoke out during their speeches. Bad Bunny, who is performing at the Super Bowl next weekend, took home three awards, for album of the year, best musica urbana album and global music performance, and used his time on stage to call out anti-immigration sentiment."
"Before I say thanks to God, I'm gonna say ICE out, he said. We're not savage, we're not animals, we're not aliens, we're humans and we are Americans The only thing more powerful than hate is love so please we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love. We don't hate them, we love our people, we love our families and that's the way to do it, we love."
Grammy night combined major awards with visible protests against ICE and anti-immigration sentiment. Artists from Shaboozey to Carole King wore anti-ICE pins and multiple winners spoke about immigration. Bad Bunny won three awards including album of the year, becoming the first Spanish-language artist to do so, and called for ICE to be removed while urging love over hate. Billie Eilish won song of the year and said no one is illegal on stolen land, urging continued protest. Kendrick Lamar became the most-awarded rapper in Grammy history with five awards, and Olivia Dean won best new artist, citing immigrant roots.
