The 68th Annual Grammy Awards, held on February 1, 2026, at the Crypto.com Arena, delivered a monumental night for music history. Reported by Dr. Jose Angel Manaiza Jr. (Angel) of the Beverly Hills News, the evening was defined by record-breaking wins, high-voltage performances, and a powerful social undercurrent that left the star-studded audience in awe. It started with red carpet and among the highlight with courtesy of GRAMMY / Recording Academy, here’s some the stars in attendance:

While Kendrick Lamar may have walked away with the most trophies, the undisputed sensation of the night was Bad Bunny. In a historic first, his masterpiece Debí Tirar Más Fotos became the first all-Spanish-language album to win Album of the Year.

Bad Bunny whose real full name is Benito Antonio Martinez’s victory was more than just a musical milestone; it was a cultural explosion.

His raw, emotional speech was delivered in both English and Spanish and cemented him as the evening’s most impactful figure.
