What a week this is for Bad Bunny.

The Puerto Rican musician, who is headlining the Super Bowl halftime show in seven days, won the album of the year Grammy at the end of the awards show on Sunday.

“I want to dedicate this award to all the people that had to leave their homeland, their country, to follow their dreams,” he said as he accepted the Grammy for “Debí Tirar Más Fotos (I Should Have Taken More Photos).” It also won the Grammy for best música urbana album.

Accepting that award earlier in the night, Bad Bunny took a moment on stage to make a political statement about Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “Before I say thanks to God, I’m gonna say ICE out,” he said to applause from the audience. “We’re not savage. We’re not animals. We’re not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans.”

Other major winners Sunday night included Kendrick Lamar, who won record of the year for his song “Luther” with SZA. It was his second straight year winning that award. He also won best rap album (“GNX”).

Billie Eilish and her brother, Finneas O’Connell, won the Grammy for song of the year (“Wildflower”). Olivia Dean won best new artist, and Lady Gaga won best pop vocal album (“Mayhem”).

See the most striking looks from the Grammys red carpet.

Billie Eilish and her brother, Finneas O'Connell, accept the Grammy Award for song of the year ("Wildflower"). Eilish has been an outspoken critic of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in recent weeks, and she continued that sentiment in her acceptance speech: "No one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now and I just feel really hopeful in this room and I feel like we just need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting and our voices really do matter.”
