"LOLA YOUNG: I don't know what I'm going to say because I don't t have any speech prepared. Obviously I don t. It's messy, do you know what i mean? I don't know what to say. Thank you so much. (CENSORED PORTION) f*cking sorry, sorry, my face! I'm very, very grateful for this. Nick, we did it. I love you, I love everybody, everybody, everyone."
"At the pre-show, artists like Kehlani lashed out at President Donald Trump and his policy. Gloria Estefan also spoke out against the crackdown. Olivia Dean accepted her award with a short speech that acknowledged her immigrant grandparents to an eruption of cheers from the crowd and celebrated their bravery. Bad Bunny earned cheers for his anti-ICE acceptance speech. Pop superstar Billie Eilish spoke out against President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown in an emotional Grammy acceptance speech urging people to keep protesting."
The 68th Annual Grammy Awards featured both celebratory and politically charged moments. A live-telecast censor bleeped part of Lola Young's acceptance speech while letting her F-word through due to the seven-second delay. Several artists used acceptance speeches and the pre-show to criticize President Donald Trump's immigration policies, with Kehlani, Gloria Estefan, Olivia Dean, Bad Bunny, and Billie Eilish voicing opposition. Olivia Dean honored her immigrant grandparents and received cheers. Trevor Noah opened with a comedic monologue that included digs at Trump and other public figures. The night combined entertainment, protest, and controversy around censorship and political statements.
