The 2026 Grammy Awards brought together many of the artists who defined the past year in music, with Lady Gaga and Kendrick Lamar among the most talked-about names of the night. Also in the spotlight, Bad Bunny, whose album Debí Tirar Más Fotos stood out not only for its commercial and cultural impact, but for the historic weight it carried. Winning ‘Album of the Year’ marked the first time in Grammy history that a fully Spanish-language album takes home the ceremony’s top honor.
The 68th annual Grammys followed the now-familiar format of recent years. Before the televised main event, the Recording Academy held its Premiere Ceremony at the Peacock Theater, where 80 of the 95 awards were announced. That first wave of trophies helped set the tone for an edition that once again reflected the evolving dynamics, trends, and balance of the global music industry.
The Latino winners of the night
Latino artists made their presence felt early on at the 2026 Grammy Awards. During the Premiere Ceremony, where the majority of trophies are handed out, Gloria Estefan and CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso were among the first Latin acts to take the stage.In that same stretch, Bad Bunny picked up one of the six awards he was nominated for, winning Best Global Music Performance for “EoO.”
The night also included major wins for Natalia Lafourcade, who earned Best Latin Pop Album for Cancionera, and Carín León, who won Best Música Mexicana Album for Palabra De To’s (Seca), cementing a Grammys edition shaped by a wide range of Latin powerhouses.
