A peek at the 68th GRAMMY Awards, with photos from Crypto.com Arena on February 01, 2026 in Los Angeles, CA, and a list of lighting credits. Crowned as music's biggest night, the awards were broadcast on CBS and available to stream on Paramount+.

Bad Bunny will go down in the GRAMMY history books, with Album of the Year for Debi Tirar Mas Fotos, as the first Spanish-language album to win the category. He also made a political statement with his "ICE Out" cry before his thank you speech.
