2026 Grammy Awards: Winners, Performances, and Historic Moments

“Before I say thanks to God, I’m gonna say ICE OUT. We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans. More powerful than hate is love.”

“I want to dedicate this award to all the people who had to leave their homeland, their country to follow their dreams.”

“No one is illegal on stolen land. It’s just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now. I feel really hopeful in this room, and like we just need to keep fighting, speaking up and protesting. Our voices really matter.”

“F*** ICE.”

“I wanted to say f* ICE. I think everybody — we’re too powerful of a group to all be in a room at the same time and not make some kind of statement about what’s happening in our country.”

“Together, we’re stronger in numbers, and we must speak against all the injustice going on in the world right now. F* ICE.”

“I must say I’m up here as a granddaughter of an immigrant. I am a product of bravery and I think those people deserve to be celebrated. We’re nothing without each other.”

“It is hip-hop as usual, man. I’m not good at talking about myself, but I express it through the music. It’s an honour to be here. … Hip-hop is going to always be right here. We are going to be in these suits, looking good, having our folks with us. We are going to be having the culture with us. So I appreciate you all. God is to glory. Love you all.”

“We want to thank Sharon, Jack [Osbourne], Kelly [Osbourne] and Amy for this opportunity. Everyone in the Back to the Beginning Show, the whole band with me right now — we’re six generations of rock musicians that came together in the name of our genre, in the name of Sabbath, in the name of Ozzy Osbourne. God bless rock music, and god bless f***ing Ozzy Osbourne.”

“It was a privilege to participate in this project. It is an honour to accept this recognition on behalf of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, whose wisdom is at the heart of this work”

“Now is not the time to stay silent. It’s important to speak up for those who can’t. I don’t want to draw attention to myself without recognising the humanity of people experiencing tragedies around the world.”

“The real work is being done by observers on the ground in Minneapolis. We just want to shout them out.”
