The verdict is in! The 68th GRAMMY Awards took over Los Angeles on February 1, 2026, delivering a night of historic “firsts” and emotional breakthroughs. While viewers in India caught the magic live on Star Movies and JioHotstar this morning, the internet is already buzzing with a seismic shift in the music industry’s hierarchy.
The Big Four: History in the Making
The most talked-about moment of the night belonged to Bad Bunny, who made history as his album Debí Tirar Más Fotos became the first-ever all-Spanish language record to win Album of the Year. Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar continued his reign, taking home Record of the Year for his collaboration with SZA, “Luther.” Lamar led the pack with nine nominations and walked away as the night’s top winner with five trophies in total, officially surpassing Jay-Z as the most-awarded rapper in Grammy history.
Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas also etched their names in the record books, becoming the first-ever three-time winners of Song of the Year for their hauntingly beautiful track, “Wildflower.”
Youth and New Beginnings
In the highly anticipated Best New Artist category, British sensation Olivia Dean clinched the trophy, beating out a competitive field that included Addison Rae and KATSEYE. Dean, visibly emotional, dedicated her win to her immigrant heritage, calling herself a “product of bravery.”

A particularly moving moment saw Steven Spielberg complete his EGOT status, winning a Grammy for the music documentary Music by John Williams.
