Artists used the Grammys platform to protest ICE and U.S. immigration enforcement, with activists circulating protest pins on the red carpet and at pre-ceremony events. Billie Eilish, Finneas and Carole King wore pins onstage; Justin and Hailey Bieber also displayed them. Eilish opened her song of the year speech by saying that "no one is illegal on stolen land." Olivia Dean, recognized as best new artist, noted her immigrant ancestry and said immigrants "deserve to be celebrated." Winners including Kehlani cursed ICE, and Bad Bunny condemned ICE while urging love over hate.
