Bad Bunny Creates Grammy History with Landmark Album of the Year Victory
Puerto Rican music sensation Bad Bunny has once again rewritten the record books, achieving a monumental milestone at the Grammy Awards this past Sunday. The global superstar secured the prestigious Album of the Year award for his work “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS,” marking the first time an entirely Spanish-language album has ever captured the Grammys' highest honor.
A Night of Multiple Triumphs for the Urban Music Icon
Bad Bunny's historic evening did not stop with the top prize. He also collected Grammy awards in two additional categories, further cementing his dominance in the music industry:
- Best Música Urbana Album for his acclaimed project
- Best Global Music Performance, recognizing his international impact
This year's ceremony was already historic for the artist before a single award was handed out. Bad Bunny became the first Spanish-language performer ever to earn nominations in three of the so-called “Big Four” categories—Album, Song, and Record of the Year—all within the same awards cycle.
Building on a Legacy of Breaking Barriers
This latest achievement builds upon Bad Bunny's established pattern of shattering ceilings within the Recording Academy. Back in 2022, his album “Un Verano Sin Ti” broke new ground as the first Spanish-language project to receive an Album of the Year nomination at the Grammys. That record went on to win the Best Urban Music Album award at the 23rd annual Latin Grammy Awards, showcasing his consistent excellence across major music ceremonies.
Looking Ahead to Another Historic Performance
The artist's groundbreaking year is far from over. Bad Bunny is set to continue his historic run next week when he headlines the Super Bowl LX halftime show. This performance will make him the first male Latino artist to headline the iconic show solo, and he plans to perform entirely in Spanish—a decision that has generated significant discussion among various audiences.
Despite facing some backlash, the “DtMF” artist has hinted at his ambitious vision for the performance. Bad Bunny has teased that he aims to use this massive global platform to bring people together from around the world during one of television's most-watched events, the Big Game.
