The Most Commented Speeches at the Grammy Awards 2026
One of the most popular artists on Sunday’s night, Bad Bunny, gave one of the most resonated speeches of the event. As a born and raised Puerto Rican artist, Benito focused the discussion on the oppression immigrants deal with these days on America.
“Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say: ICE out. We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans. I know it is tough not to hate these days. I was thinking sometimes we get contaminated. The hate gets more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. We need to be different, if we fight, we have to do it with love,” said Bad Bunny at the Grammy Awards 2026.
After winning Song Of The Year, Billie Eilish and Finneas went to receive their grammy award. The Birds Of a Feather singer took advantage of the spotlight to also advocate for some of the difficult situations happening in America.
“As grateful as I feel, I don’t feel like I need to say anything, but that no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now. I feel really hopeful in this room. I feel we just need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting. Out voices really do matter and the people matter. F*** ICE is all I want to say, sorry,” admitted Billie Eilish at the 2026 Grammys.
