The 2026 Grammys turned into a night of big emotions, small mishaps, and internet-fueled debate—part celebration, part cultural weather report. Cher sparked one of the most replayed moments while presenting Record of the Year, briefly misreading the title “luther” as if it referred to Luther Vandross before quickly correcting herself—an awkward beat that became an instant meme and a surprisingly warm moment for the winners. Kendrick Lamar and SZA accepted the award with laughter and gratitude, leaning into the tribute and keeping the room light even as the cameras captured every reaction.
But the night’s headline belonged to Bad Bunny, who won Album of the Year for “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS,” making history as the first Spanish-language album to take the top prize—an emotional win that left him visibly overwhelmed on the way to the stage. Not every headline was celebratory: PETA criticized Sabrina Carpenter after she incorporated a live white dove into her performance, reigniting the yearly debate about spectacle versus responsibility. And, as always, fashion arguments followed close behind—proof that the Grammys don’t just hand out trophies; they hand the internet a new week of opinions.
