Celebrities used the 2026 Grammy Awards stage to voice opposition to US immigration enforcement, with many wearing 'ICE Out' pins and delivering fiery speeches against the agency.
Justin and Hailey Bieber, Kehlani, Joni Mitchell, and others sported the pins at Sunday's ceremony in Los Angeles, showing solidarity with anti-ICE protests following the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
Rapper Bad Bunny received a standing ovation when he began his acceptance speech for Best Música Urbana Album by saying, 'Before I say thanks to God, I’m gonna say ICE OUT.' He added, 'We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans.'
Billie Eilish, accepting Song of the Year, declared, 'No one is illegal on stolen land,' before concluding with 'f*** ICE.' Kehlani, who won two awards, also condemned the agency, saying, 'Together, we’re stronger in numbers, [and must] speak against all the injustice going on in the world right now.'
Other celebrities wearing the pins included Carole King, Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell, Margo Price, and Rhiannon Giddens. Samara Joy told Variety she wore the pin to 'speak up and speak out for those who can’t at the moment.'
