In a historic moment at the 68th Annual GRAMMY Awards on February 2, 2026, Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny took home the prestigious Album of the Year award for his critically acclaimed album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS. The win marks a major milestone, as Bad Bunny becomes one of the few artists to achieve such recognition with a primarily Spanish-language project, following his earlier nomination breakthrough with Un Verano Sin Ti.
The announcement came during a star-studded presentation by British pop icon Harry Styles, who handed over the golden gramophone to Bad Bunny amid cheers from the audience at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Styles, a former Album of the Year winner himself for Harry’s House in 2023, added extra excitement to the moment as one of the night’s notable presenters.
DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, released in early 2025, blends Bad Bunny’s signature reggaeton and urban sounds with deeply personal and political themes, paying homage to his Puerto Rican roots while addressing broader social issues.
This victory adds to Bad Bunny’s growing GRAMMY legacy. He also secured the Best Música Urbana Album for the same project earlier in the evening, where he delivered a powerful acceptance speech calling out immigration policies and emphasizing love over hate.
The 2026 GRAMMYs highlighted diverse talent across genres, with other major wins including Kendrick Lamar and SZA for Record of the Year (“Luther”), Billie Eilish for Song of the Year (“Wildflower”), and Lady Gaga for Best Pop Vocal Album (MAYHEM). Bad Bunny’s Album of the Year triumph underscores the global rise of Latin music and urban sounds on the world stage.
