Bad Bunny is the Latin artist of our generation. Earlier today (November 7), he made history as the first Spanish-language artist to be nominated at the 2026 Grammys in three major categories. The Puerto Rican icon’s album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS received a total of six Grammy nominations. But get this: the album’s standout plena track “DtMF” received nominations for Record of the Year and Song of the Year, giving the traditional Boricua genre an incredible spotlight.
Who said a traditional genre couldn’t make it to the Grammys? Not Bad Bunny. His latest album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS featured classic sounds like salsa, plena, and bomba, but the now Grammy-nominated track “DtMF” is redefining what the Recording Academy usually champions. Let’s talk about the cultural impact “DtMF” had this year. The sentimental plena track sparked a TikTok trend in which social media users posted photos of their past loved ones with the song in the background, giving it heartfelt virality. And guess what? Benito caught wind of it, posting himself in tears after seeing his fans’ interpretations of his song. How’s that for cultural impact? We can only hope that Bad Bunny performs “DtMF” at the Grammys.
Beyond nominations in the “Big 3” categories, Bad Bunny’s DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS was also nomiated for Best Música Urbana Album and Best Album Cover. The album’s “EoO” was also nominated for Best Global Music Performance.
If you thought this year was huge with Bad Bunny’s “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí” residency in San Juan, Puerto Rico, think again. 2026 is going to be even bigger with a huge performance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show and now the Grammy Awards on deck.
The 68th annual Grammy Awards will take place on Feb. 1, 2026.
