While taking home some of the most coveted awards in music history.Many musicians spent their time on stage and spoke, including the likes of Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish, and Lady Gaga. Some chose their acceptance speeches, while others used their musical performances to speak their minds. But for the most part, the current president of the United States and the immigration department attacked many in the stomach and chin, while the artists attacked them and their recent actions.
Justin Bieber performs in shorts and silver socks
Grammy-winning artist Billie Eilish walked the red carpet with a pin on her outfit that read, “ICE OUT.” Singer Justin Bieber and his wife, model Hailey Bieber, also wore similar brooches on their outfits. The red carpet seemed to match the tone of the Golden Globes, where many actors and directors made the same statement, including Mark Ruffalo. Bieber also seemed to make a statement with his live performance of the song ‘Yukon.’ from his album SWAG. She ditched the outfit she was wearing for the rest of the show and came out in shorts and silver socks, and that was it. A mesmerized crowd simply sat there and experienced this intimate version of Bieber’s song.

Billie Eilish, Bad Bunny’s anti-ICE messages
Lady Gaga also delivered a message with her performance, as she wore a cage-like structure around her head. He performed the song ‘Abracadabra’ from his album Mayhem. Even though the singer had 8 nominations by the end of the night, she decided to put aside all the glory and put on a mesmerizing performance. He ended up winning Pop Vocal Album for Mayhem. Billie Eilish and Bad Bunny took home major awards and made their emotions clear about the establishment. When Billie took the stage with her brother, Finneas, to accept the Song of the Year award, they had already made history by becoming the only three-time winners.
While on stage, Billie said, “No one is illegal on stolen land. It’s very hard to know what to say and what to do right now. I feel very hopeful in this room and I think we have to keep fighting and speaking and protesting. Our voices really matter.” He took a break, thanked his fellow nominees, and ended the speech by saying, “Fuck ICE.” Bad Bunny was of the same opinion and said “ICE OUT” while receiving the award for urban music album. He said, “ICE out. We are not savages; we are not animals; we are not aliens; we are humans and we are Americans.”
