If there's one thing Bad Bunny is going to do, it's put his beloved island of Puerto Rico on top time and time again.

After taking home two Grammy awards for best música urbana album and best global music performance earlier on Sunday, Feb. 1, Bad Bunny made history by taking home the album of the year award for "DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS," his sixth studio album released last January.

Bad Bunny, who's set to take the Super Bowl halftime show stage next Sunday, sat in his chair for a few moments, visibly emotional with tears in his eyes, before going up on stage to accept his award. He received the gramophone from Harry Styles, who won album of the year in 2023.

Bad Bunny takes home album of the year at the Grammys.

Beyoncé took home the award last year for "Cowboy Carter."

During his speech, in both Spanish and English, the Puerto Rican superstar paid homage to his island, his mother and his community.

Read Bad Bunny's album of the year Grammys speech

"Puerto Rico, believe me when I tell you, when we're much bigger than 100 x 35 [miles], and there's nothing we can't achieve. Thank you, God. Thank you to the Academy. Thank you to everyone who has believed in me throughout my entire career. Thank you to all the people who have worked on this album.

"Thank you, mom, for giving birth to me in Puerto Rico. I love you. I want to dedicate this award to all the people who had to leave their homeland to follow their dreams – to all the people who have lost a loved one and, even so, have had to move forward with a lot of strength. This award is for you.

"Thank you for all the love. I love you. To all the Latinos in the world and all the artists who came before and deserved to be on this stage getting this award, thank you."
