Music’s biggest night took place on Sunday, making many of your favorite artists Grammy winners. Kendrick Lamar, who made history at the 2025 Grammys for winning all five awards he was nominated for with his diss track “Not Like Us,” led the pack with nine nominations. By the end of the night, he had taken home four Grammys, including Record of the Year for “Luther” with his collaborator SZA.
Lady Gaga also scored seven nominations this year, including for Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Mother Monster, who gave a high-energy performance on the Grammys stage, walked away with Best Pop Vocal Album for Mayhem and Best Dance Pop Recording for “Abracadabra,” as well as Best Remixed Recording for “Abracadabra (Gesaffelstein Remix).”
But it was Bad Bunny, scheduled to be the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show performer, who was the biggest winner of the night. He took home Album of the Year, for DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, making him the first Spanish-language artist to win the award. He is also the first to be nominated in the Album, Song and Record of the Year categories.
“I want to dedicate this award to all the people who had to leave their homeland, their country, to follow their dreams,” he said as he accepted the award.
The Best New Artist category was brimming with up-and-coming talent, with nominees including Addison Rae, Katseye and Lola Young. Ultimately, however, it was Olivia Dean who earned the award, with an acceptance speech that honored her immigrant grandparents.
