The Grammy Awards, one of the most prestigious awards in the music world, held its 68th ceremony. The night, which honored names like Billie Eilish, Bad Bunny, and Lady Gaga, was marked by protests. The host of the night, Noah, stated after the Song of the Year award, "This is a Grammy that every artist wants, just like Trump wants Greenland. It makes sense, because now that Epstein is no longer around, he needs a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton."
The winners of the Grammy Awards were announced at a ceremony held in Los Angeles, USA. Protests against Trump and ICE marked the event.
The 68th Grammy Awards, held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, were hosted by famous comedian Trevor Noah. Billie Eilish won the biggest award of the night, "Song of the Year," with "Wildflower," while the "Record of the Year" award went to Kendrick Lamar and SZA for their collaboration "Luther." The winner of the "Album of the Year" award was Bad Bunny's album titled "Debi Tirar Mas Fotos."
"BEST POP VOCAL ALBUM" BELONGED TO GAGA Olivia Dean won the "Best New Artist" award, while Lady Gaga stood out in the pop music categories with her album "Mayhem." In addition to the "Best Pop Vocal Album" award, Gaga also received the "Best Dance/Pop Recording" award for "Abracadabra."
Lady Gaga Kendrick Lamar was the most notable name of the night in the rap categories. The artist won the "Best Rap Album" award for "GNX," the "Best Rap Song" award for "TV Off," and the "Best Melodic Rap Performance" award for "Luther."
In alternative music, The Cure won the "Best Alternative Music Album" award with "Songs Of A Lost World," while the "Best Rock Album" award went to Turnstile for their work titled "Never Enough."
In the field of film and television music, Ludwig Göransson won the "Best Film/TV Music Album" award for the film "Sinners." The piece titled "Golden," featured in the film "K-Pop Demon Hunters," won the "Best Song Written for Visual Media" award, making a first in this area.
AWARD SPEECH REACTION: "ICE" GET OUT On the other hand, the Grammy Awards this year also became a stage for protests against President Donald Trump's immigration policies, in addition to the music awards. One of the prominent figures of the night, Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny, used the phrase "ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) get out" in his acceptance speech, expressing his reaction to the Trump administration's immigration policies.
Billie Eilish "NO ONE IS ILLEGAL ON STOLEN LAND" The artist stated, "We are not barbarians, we are not animals, we are not aliens. We are human beings and we are Americans," while his speech was met with a standing ovation in the hall. Famous singer Billie Eilish, while accepting her award, expressed her reaction with the statement, "No one is illegal on stolen land."
Eilish called for the continuation of protests, saying, "Our voices matter and people matter." Kehlani also criticized ICE with similar statements. Many artists, including Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber, and Joni Mitchell, wore badges saying "ICE get out" throughout the night.
Trevor Noah "HE NEEDS A NEW ISLAND TO HANG OUT WITH CLINTON" Trevor Noah, who hosted the night, targeted Trump after Billie Eilish won the "Song of the Year" award. Noah stated, "Here is the song of the year. Congratulations Billie Eilish. This is a Grammy that every artist wants, as much as Trump wants Greenland. This makes sense because now that Epstein is no longer around, he needs a new island to hang out with (former U.S. President) Bill Clinton."
TRUMP'S REACTION TO NOAH U.S. President Donald Trump responded to Noah, who criticized him at the ceremony, in a post on his social media account. Trump described the Grammy Awards as "unwatchably bad" and stated that he might take legal action due to Noah's remarks.
"I NEVER WENT TO EPSTEIN ISLAND" Trump stated, "I can't speak for Bill (Clinton), but I never went to Epstein Island, I never even passed near it. Until tonight's false and defamatory statement, no one, including the Fake News Media, accused me of this."
U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin, in a written statement regarding the reactions, stated, "It is unacceptable for Hollywood to demonize law enforcement officers who risk their lives to protect people from criminals."
