Jelly Roll took the Grammys audience to church during his acceptance speech on Sunday (Feb. 1), while accepting this third win of the evening, with his Billboard 200 chart-topping project Beautifully Broken winning for best contemporary country album.

Taking the stage, Jelly Roll said, “Jesus, I hear you, and I am listening, Lord, I am listening, Lord.” He then also thanked his wife, Bunnie Xo, who was seated in the audience. “I would have never changed my life without you. I would have been dead or in jail. I would have killed myself if it wasn’t for you and Jesus.” Jelly Roll went on to thank his label, BBR Music Group, and country radio.

“There was a time in my life, y’all, where I was broken. That was why I wrote this album. I didn’t think I had a chance,” Jelly Roll continued. “There was a moment in my life that I thought all I had was a Bible this big and a radio the same size in a six-by-eight foot cell and I believed that those two things could change my life. I believed that music had the power to change my life and God had the power to change my life. I want to tell y’all right now that Jesus is for everybody. Jesus is not owned by one political party. Jesus is not owned by any music label. Jesus is Jesus, and anybody can have a relationship with Him. I love you, Lord.”

Earlier in the evening, the country artist picked up his first two Grammy wins, for best country duo/group performance (for “Amen” with Shaboozey) and best contemporary Christian music performance/song, for his collaboration with Brandon Lake on “Hard Fought Hallelujah.”

Jelly Roll’s fellow nominees in the best contemporary country album were Kelsea Ballerini (Patterns), Tyler Childers (Snipe Hunter), Eric Church (Evangeline Vs. The Machine) and Miranda Lambert (Postcards From Texas). Jelly Roll’s Beautifully Broken album included the No. 1 Country Airplay hits “I Am Not Okay,” “Liar” and “Heart of Stone.”

Other country category Grammys winners this year included Zach Top for best traditional country album (Ain’t in It for My Health), Chris Stapleton taking best country solo performance (“Bad As I Used to Be” from the F1 movie soundtrack) and Tyler Childers nabbing best country song (“Bitin’ List”).

As music’s biggest night unfolded with the 2026 Grammys on Sunday night (Feb. 1), a number of stars in attendance made sure to call attention to the tensions happening at the same time all over the country due to ICE’s ongoing immigration enforcement operations.

While walking the red carpet leading up to the ceremony at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, a number of stars sported “ICE Out” pins to protest the agency’s presence in immigrant communities across the United States under the Donald Trump administration. Both Justin Bieber – whose Swag is up for album of the year and best pop vocal album – and Hailey Bieber wore the accessory, as did Billie Eilish and Finneas, both of whom have been vocal in their opposition to ICE in recent weeks.

Kehlani – who declared “F–k ICE” while accepting best R&B performance for “Folded” during the Grammys pre-show – also wore an “ICE Out” pin, along with Jimmy Jam, Brandi Carlile and more.

The award show comes amid peak political tensions regarding ICE, with outrage reaching a fever pitch in January after not one, but two civilians were shot and killed by immigration enforcement officers in Minneapolis, where the department has been stationed for several weeks. The Trump administration has maintained that both shootings were acts of self-defense on the part of the officers who pulled the trigger, but many believe footage captured by eyewitnesses contradicts that argument.

After the “ICE Out” pins on the red carpet, ICE was a recurring topic at the ceremony itself. When Bad Bunny accepted the prize for best música urbana album for Debí Tirar Más Fotos, he used his time on stage to say, “ICE out … We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans.”

Bad Bunny‘s Debí Tirar Más Fotos nabbed the best música urbana album award at the 2026 Grammys on Sunday (Feb. 1), beating out releases by J Balvin, Feid, Nicki Nicole, Trueno, and Feid. He received the award from Karol G and Saturday Night Live cast member and comedian Marcello Hérnandez, and began his heartfelt speech by slamming ICE.

“Before I say thanks to God, I’m gonna say ICE out!” he declared as the room gave him a standing ovation, including J Balvin and Rauw Alejandro. “We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we are not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans. I know it’s tough not to hate on these days and I was thinking sometime we get contaminados [contaminated]. The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. So please, 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. We love. That’s the way to do it. Thank God, and thanks to the academy.”

Debí Tirar Más Fotos debuted at No. 1 on Billboard‘s Top Latin Albums chart and peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in January 2025. 

This marks the third time that the artist born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio won in the best música urbana album category, following El Último Tour del Mundo in 2022 and Un Verano Sin Ti in 2023. Prior to that, his sophomore studio album, YHLQMDLG, won for best Latin pop or urban album in 2021. 

Overall, Bad Bunny — who will headline the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show a week from today on Feb. 8 — has won three Grammy awards and 17 Latin Grammys, including last year’s album of the year for Debí Tirar Más Fotos.

With six noms this year, the “Baile Inolvidable” singer was one of the most nominated acts, following Kendrick Lamar with nine nods and Lady Gaga with seven.

Notably, he was recognized in three of the coveted Big Four categories: album of the year for Debí Tirar Más Fotos, and both record and song of the year for “DtMF.” In addition to winning best música urbana album and best global music performance, Bunny was nominated for best album cover.
