\n\tBad Bunny<\/a>\u2019s Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos<\/em> made history at the 2026 Grammy Awards on Sunday (Feb. 1), becoming the first Spanish-language album to win album of the year. The only previous Spanish-language album to be nominated in this category was Bunny\u2019s Un Verano Sin Ti,<\/em> which lost to Harry Styles<\/a>\u2019 Harry\u2019s House<\/em> three years ago. In a nice touch, Styles presented the award to Bunny on this night.<\/p>\n

\n\tDeb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos<\/em> also won best m\u00fasica urbana album, while a track from the album, \u201cEOO,\u201d <\/em>won best global music performance.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe culture wars were seen as weighing in Bunny\u2019s favor.\u00a0His win is seen, in part, as a rebuke to President Donald Trump\u2019s anti-immigrant rhetoric (even though, as a Puerto Rican, Bunny is American), in the same way that The Chicks\u2019 sweep in 2007 was seen as the voters taking the trio\u2019s side in their war-of-words with President George W. Bush.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnother factor that worked in Bunny\u2019s favor: The Recording Academy invited all voting members of the Latin Recording Academy to join their ranks, and, according to Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr., nearly 1,000 of them them\u00a0accepted the offer<\/a>. That infusion of new Latin members may also have helped Buena Vista Social Club<\/em> win the award for best musical theater album over such hot challengers as Maybe Happy Ending <\/em>and Just in Time.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\tWhile most were pleased with Bunny\u2019s win for album of the year, the fact remains that no rap album has won in that marque category since OutKast\u2019s Speakerboxxx\/The Love Below<\/em> 22 years ago. The fact that three rap albums were nominated for album of the year for the first time may have hurt Lamar\u2019s chances of winning.<\/p>\n

\n\tBunny is set to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show in one week on Feb. 8. He\u2019ll become the first person to win the Grammy for album of the year and perform in the Super Bowl Halftime Show in the same year since Tony Bennett did it in 1994. The legendary singer performed alongside Patti LaBelle, Teddy Pendergrass, Arturo Sandoval and Miami Sound Machine on Jan. 29. One month later, on March 1, he won album of the year for\u00a0MTV Unplugged<\/em>.<\/p>\n
