The 68th Grammy Awards delivered a night of firsts for some of the biggest artists of the past year.
Record-breaking Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny made history as the first Spanish-language winner of Album of the Year for Debi Tirar Mas Fotos. Last year, the award went to Beyonce's Cowboy Carter.
Bad Bunny, who was nominated for six Grammys, also picked up the Best Musica Urbana Album earlier in the evening and used occasion to criticise the US government's immigration policy.
"Before I say thanks to God, I’m gonna say ‘ICE out,'” he said to a huge cheer, referring to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency whose agents killed two American citizens last month.
"We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans. The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love."
Other big winners of the night included rapper Kendrick Lamar, who won Record of the Year for luther, a collaboration with SZA. British singer Olivia Dean won Best New Artist. Her song, Man I Need, was one of the biggest singles of last year. Another British singer, Lola Young, also won her first Grammy, Best Pop Solo Performance for Messy, beating out stars including Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter and Lady Gaga.
