在一场政治氛围浓厚、充斥反 ICE 言论的 Grammy Awards 上,Bad Bunny 以西班牙语专辑夺得年度专辑,成为该奖首次颁给西班牙语作品。他以西英夹杂的得奖感言献给「所有不得不离开故乡、离开国家去追梦的人」。典礼于周日晚间在音乐荣耀与政治紧张之间摆荡;第 6 次担任主持人的 Trevor Noah 嘲讽美国总统 Donald Trump 与已故失势金融家 Jeffrey Epstein 的传闻关联,Trump 随后以社群贴文威胁提告,称言论「不实且诽谤」。得奖者多批评美国移民及海关执法局对无证移民的扫荡,但无人直接谈及明尼苏达州近期 Renee Good 与 Alex Pretti 的遇害事件。
多位得主以明确措辞声援移民。Bad Bunny(本名 Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio)在当晚首次上台、拿下最佳 música urbana 专辑时,先于致谢前高喊「ICE out」,并表示移民「不是野蛮人、不是动物、不是外星人」,而是「人,也是美国人」。乡村歌手 Shaboozey 凭最佳乡村二人组/团体演出拿下生涯首座 Grammy,含泪将奖献给移民。Joni Mitchell 以 82 岁之龄拿下第 11 座 Grammy,并佩戴写有「ICE Out」的胸针;26 岁的英国灵魂歌手 Olivia Dean 夺得最佳新人,称自己是移民后代;Billie Eilish 拿下年度歌曲并向全国抗议致意,强调抗议与发声的重要性。
Bad Bunny 的历史性胜利延续其「大年」:他在 Spotify 成为最受欢迎的艺人,新专辑 DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS(「I Should Have Taken More Photos」)显著超越先前作品,并融入波多黎各传统声响与完整编制。去年他在岛上举办 31 场(原数字:31)驻演,部分场次仅售当地居民,最终场由 Amazon.com Inc. 全球串流;随后他规划全球巡演并跳过美国,表示不愿让粉丝承受遣返风险或遭遇 ICE 突袭。下周他预计领衔 Super Bowl 中场秀(由 Apple Music 与 NFL、Jay-Z 的 Roc Nation 合作选定),引发部分评论者争议;Turning Point USA(创办人 Charlie Kirk)则宣称将以自办节目「反向」中场秀作为对照。其获奖也呼应 The Recording Academy 近年扩大多元化的制度调整:今年允许投 Latin Grammy Awards 的会员同时参与主秀投票;最新一届新增超过 3,800 名(原数字:more than 3,800)专业人士与创作者,其中近三分之一(约 33%,原表述:nearly a third)自认为 Hispanic 或 Latino;另有一项「首次」是西班牙语专辑拿下最佳当代基督教音乐专辑。Bad Bunny 签约独立厂牌 Rimas Entertainment,并由 Sony Music Entertainment 协助发行。
At a politically charged Grammy Awards marked by anti-ICE statements, Bad Bunny won album of the year with a Spanish-language record, the first time the top prize has gone to a Spanish-language work. In an acceptance speech mixing Spanish and English, he dedicated the moment to “all the people who had to leave their homeland, their country, to follow their dreams.” The Sunday-night ceremony swung between musical celebration and political conflict; host Trevor Noah, appearing for a 6th time, joked about reported links between US President Donald Trump and the late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, after which Trump threatened to sue in a social-media post calling the remarks “false and defamatory.” Winners criticized the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement crackdown on undocumented immigrants, though none directly addressed the recent killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota.
Several winners used their stages to voice support for immigrants. Bad Bunny (Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) first spoke when he accepted best música urbana album, opening with “ICE out” before thanking God and insisting immigrants are “not savage,” “not animals,” and “not aliens,” but “humans” and “Americans.” Country artist Shaboozey won his first Grammy for best country duo/group performance and dedicated it tearfully to immigrants. Joni Mitchell won her 11th Grammy at age 82 while wearing an “ICE Out” pin; 26-year-old British soul singer Olivia Dean won best new artist and cited her immigrant family history; and Billie Eilish, who won song of the year, saluted protests nationwide and urged continued speaking up and organizing.
Bad Bunny’s historic win capped a “big year”: he became Spotify’s most popular artist, and his album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS (“I Should Have Taken More Photos”) far outpaced his earlier releases while drawing on classic Puerto Rican sounds and full-band instrumentation. Last year he mounted a 31-show residency (original number: 31) on the island, with some tickets reserved for local residents, and streamed his final concert globally via Amazon.com Inc.; he is following that run with a global tour that will skip the US, saying he doesn’t want fans at risk of deportation or ICE raids. Next week he is slated to headline the Super Bowl halftime show, selected by Apple Music in partnership with the NFL and Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, amid backlash from some pundits and counter-programming claims from Turning Point USA and founder Charlie Kirk. The Recording Academy’s broader push to diversify also surfaced in rule changes that let Latin Grammy Awards voters participate in the main show and in the newest class of more than 3,800 members, nearly a third (about 33%, original phrasing: nearly a third) identifying as Hispanic or Latino, alongside another first for a Spanish-language album in best contemporary Christian music. Bad Bunny is signed to independent label Rimas Entertainment, which partners with Sony Music Entertainment for distribution.
