Puerto Rican superstar becomes the first artist ever to take the top Grammy prize with a Spanish-language album
2026 is officially Bad Bunny’s year.
Just one week before headlining the Super Bowl Halftime Show, the global superstar took home Album of the Year at the 2026 Grammy Awards, making history as the first artist ever to win the award with a Spanish-language album.
Bad Bunny’s critically acclaimed project, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, beat out major frontrunners including Kendrick Lamar and Sabrina Carpenter, cementing the Puerto Rican artist’s place at the very top of the global music industry.
The win marked a watershed moment for Latin music on the world’s biggest stage — a category long dominated by English-language releases.
During his acceptance speech, Bad Bunny dedicated the award to Puerto Rico and to “all the people who had to leave their country to follow their dreams,” drawing a standing ovation from the crowd.
The historic night didn’t stop there.
In addition to Album of the Year, Bad Bunny also won Best Música Urbana Album, further underlining his dominance across genres and cultures.
With a Grammy sweep and the Super Bowl just days away, Bad Bunny enters 2026 at the absolute peak of his career — rewriting the rules of what global pop success looks like.
Congratulations, Benito.
