Miami, FL (November 17, 2025)—The Latin Recording Academy announced the winners of the 26th Annual Latin Grammy Awards on Nov. 13, including those honoring engineers and producers.
Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny started the night with 12 nominations and took home one of the so-called big three, album of the year. He has not previously won in any of the three major categories. By the end of the evening, he had amassed a total of five Latin Grammys. Bad Bunny goes into the Grammy awards gala on Feb. 1 with six nominations—including in the album of the year, song of the year and record of the year categories—and will headline the Super Bowl halftime show a week later.
