The Grammys 2026 was one for the record books, literally. Kendrick Lamar took home the most Grammys for any rapper ever on Sunday night, beating Jay-Z’s previous record of 25. The artist’s haul included record of the year for “luther,” best rap album for GNX, and 24 other trophies.
Also enjoying a blockbuster night was Bad Bunny, whose DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS took home album of the year. The lauded Puerto Rican singer is headed next to the Super Bowl, a gig that already had our country’s more conservative element upset. Those folks are likely to be even more distraught after tonight, when Bad Bunny began his acceptance speech for his best música urbana album with the increasingly common phrase “ICE out,” and delivered most of his second acceptance speech in Spanish.
Read on for the full list of Grammys 2026 winners below, and don’t miss all of Vanity Fair’s coverage of the night’s best-dressed stars, every red carpet look, and much more.
