The winners of the 68th Annual Grammy Awards were announced on Sunday at a ceremony held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The event, hosted by comedian Trevor Noah, recognized achievements across the music industry while also drawing attention for strong political messages delivered by several artists.
Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny made history by winning Album of the Year for “Debi Tirar Mas Fotos,” becoming the first Spanish-language album to receive the Grammys’ top honor.
