Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos has won Album of the Year at the 2026 Grammys. The Puerto Rican artist beat out Justin Bieber’s Swag, Lady Gaga’s Mayhem, Kendrick Lamar’s GNX, Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out, Leon Thomas’ Mutt, Sabrina Carpenter Man’s Best Friend, and Tyler, the Creator’s Chromakopia. Harry Styles, who won the category in 2023, presented the award.
The award clinches his first-ever win in the category, making him the first Latin artist to receive the honor. Debí Tirar Más Fotos is also the first Spanish-language album to take home the prize. He won in a year of stiff competition from other Academy favorites, none of whom has ever clinched Album of the Year. Gaga and Kendrick each had four prior solo nods in the category (the latter’s contributions to Beyoncé’s Lemonade and 2018’s Black Panther: The Album bring his total nominations in the category to seven). Bieber, meanwhile, had two prior nods and Carpenter and Bad Bunny had one apiece for their own records; Tyler, the Creator also had one nomination for his work on Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange.
Last year, Beyoncé claimed the Album of the Year trophy—her first win in the category—beating out Charli XCX’s Brat and Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department and extending her lead as the most decorated artist in Grammys history with 35 awards. Bad Bunny is not quite there yet: this is his sixth Grammy and first win in a Big Four category.
