Justin Bieber, Carole King, Teddy Swims, Joni Mitchell, Finneas, Billie Eilish<\/a>, Samara Joy<\/a>, <\/a>Lachi<\/a> and Kehlani were among the artists sporting “ICE OUT” pins.<\/p>\n On the red carpet, artist Bon Iver said he wore a bright orange whistle<\/a> on his lapel to honor “observers” in Minneapolis, who he said patrol the streets and blow their whistles when ICE is near, protecting their neighbors and communities. <\/p>\n Kehlani criticized ICE on the red carpet and as she accepted her first award at the Premiere Ceremony. <\/p>\n \u201cTogether we\u2019re stronger in numbers to speak against all the injustice going on in the world right now,\u201d she said. \u201cSo instead of letting it be just a couple few here and there, I hope everyone\u2019s inspired to join together as a community of artists.\u201d <\/p>\n Gloria Estefan talked about the hundreds of children<\/a> who “are in detention, in horrible conditions,” and encouraged viewers to stand up and vote. <\/p>\n And while he was accepting his preshow award, an emotional Shaboozey thanked his immigrant mother<\/a> for having worked multiple jobs to provide for him and his siblings.<\/p>\n \u201cImmigrants built this country, literally. So this is for them,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is also for those who came to this country in search of better opportunities and to be part of a nation that promised freedom for all.\u201d <\/p>\n In her speech accepting the award for best new artist, Olivia Dean also gave a shoutout to immigrants (though she did not denounce ICE itself). <\/p>\n “I just want to say I\u2019m a granddaughter of an immigrant. I wouldn\u2019t be here. … I’m a product of bravery, and I think those people deserve to be celebrated,” she said. “So yeah, we\u2019re nothing without each other.\u201d<\/p>\n But perhaps the biggest statement came from Bad Bunny, who is headlining the Super Bowl next weekend. The Puerto Rican star did not tour in the U.S.<\/a> for “DeB\u00cd TiRAR M\u00e1S FOToS” because of immigration policies.<\/p>\n “Before I say thanks to God, I gotta say: ICE Out,” he began his acceptance speech for best musica urbana album. \u201cWe\u2019re not savage. We\u2019re not animals. We\u2019re not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans.<\/p>\n \u201cThe hate get more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love,\u201d he continued. “We need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love. We don’t hate them, we love our people, we love our family, and that’s the way to do it. That’s the way to do it. With love.” <\/p>\n Billie Eilish, known to get political at awards shows, took after Bad Bunny and used nearly her entire acceptance speech for song of the year to call out immigration legislation. <\/p>\n \u201cNo one is illegal on stolen land,\u201d Eilish said, later encouraging the room to “keep fighting and speaking up and protesting.”<\/p>\n “Our voices really do matter,” she said, “and the people matter.\u201d <\/p>\n A first for K-pop<\/p>\n They\u2019re going up, up, up, it\u2019s their moment.<\/p>\n The fictional band from Netflix\u2019s \u201cKPop Demon Hunters\u201d delivered a first for the K-pop genre<\/a>. <\/p>\n The animated blockbuster, produced by Sony Pictures Animation and released by Netflix in June, was nominated in several categories, including the coveted song of the year.<\/p>\n “Golden,” a hit song from the film, snagged a win for best song written for visual media at the Premiere Ceremony.<\/p>\n \u201cGolden,\u201d a track from the animated film, received three Grammy nominations, including song of the year. The song from the fictional band Huntr\/x (in real life, Ejae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami) was written by Ejae and Mark Sonnenblick.<\/p>\n The film and its voice stars have been everywhere this awards season, and most recently the film snagged two Oscar noms. Last month, it won two Golden Globes<\/a>, including best original song.<\/p>\n A brand-new celebrity joins ‘EGOT’ club<\/p>\n Hollywood legend Steven Spielberg just got added to the “EGOT” club. <\/p>\n The accolade is for those who have won all four major awards \u2014 Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony \u2014 a feat that has been achieved by only 21 people.<\/p>\n Spielberg produced the award-winning \u201cMusic by John Williams,” which won the Grammy for best music film. <\/p>\n Though he was not onstage to accept the award, he was thanked <\/a>by director Laurent Bouzereau, who accepted the award during the Premiere Ceremony.<\/p>\n In a statement to People magazine<\/a>, Spielberg thanked Grammy voters.<\/p>\n \u201cThis acknowledgment is obviously deeply meaningful to me because it validates what I have known for over 50 years: John Williams\u2019 influence on culture and music is immeasurable and his artistry and legacy is unrivaled,\u201d he said. \u201cI am proud to be associated with Laurent\u2019s beautiful film.\u201d<\/p>\n AI top of mind for some artists<\/p>\n Artificial intelligence has been in the backdrop of many awards shows and big Hollywood events since its prominence began exploding in recent years. Sunday night was no exception. <\/p>\n Nick Waterhouse, a co-producer on Jon Batiste\u2019s \u201cBig Money,\u201d accepted the award for best Americana album on Batiste\u2019s behalf, reading a message from him onstage.<\/p>\n \u201cJon says: Thank God real musicians and real people playing in the same room together is one of the oldest traditions in humanity and must be protected,\u201d Waterhouse said.<\/p>\n In what appeared to be a call to protect artists from AI, Waterhouse continued by calling \u201con [digital service providers], the Academy, corporations, the big money to protect our humanity in music right now.\u201d<\/p>\n Nate Smith, who won best alternative jazz album for “LIVE-ACTION,” also called on the Recording Academy to ensure AI is not a threat to artists. <\/p>\n \u201cThis music is about playing together and human beings playing together. We are living in a time when human beings are not playing together and being featured playing together. … AI is kind of taking over, and I think it\u2019s incumbent upon the Recording Academy and the recording industry to protect the rights of artists,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Kendrick Lamar sets Grammy record![\"Billie](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1770037148_281_260201-billie-2-jg-aad2ee.jpg\")
