Bad Bunny Gets Standing Ovation At Grammys For ‘Ice Out’ Speech As Billie Eilish & More Sound Off
Top artists aren’t holding back on music’s biggest night. Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish and more winners at the 2026 Grammy Awards spoke out against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) amid heated backlash for the agency’s ongoing operations in multiple U.S. cities. Bad Bunny earned a standing ovation for making his thoughts clear when accepting Best Música Urbana Album honors. “Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say, ICE out,” he began. “We’re not savages; we’re not animals; we’re not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans.” Billie followed suit with searing remarks of her own after winning Song of the Year for her hit “Wildflower” alongside brother Finneas. “I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything, but no one is illegal on stolen land,” she said. “It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now. I feel really hopeful in this room and I feel like we just need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting. Our voices really do matter and the people matter. … F*** ICE.”
