It is the first time a Spanish-language album has taken home the top prize. "Puerto Rico, believe me when I tell you that we are much bigger than 100 by 35," he said in his acceptance speech in Spanish, referring to a Puerto Rican colloquialism about the island's small size. "And there is nothing we can't achieve. Thank God, thank you to the Academy, thank you to all the people who have believed in me throughout my career."
"Billie Eilish won song of the year for "Wildflower" and used the moment to add her voice to the chorus of musicians criticizing immigration authorities Sunday. "No one is illegal on stolen land," she said while accepting the award for the song from her 2024 album "Hit Me Hard and Soft." "(Expletive) ICE is all I want to say." Immigration was a pointed theme of the night. The first time Bad Bunny was on stage - after winning the award for música urbana album - he used his speech to share an anti-ICE message, highlighting the humanity of all people."
