, it's so powerful how he spoke up about ICE and his heritage at the same time 
. I love how artists are using their platforms to make a difference 
. And can we talk about the lack of diversity in some of these categories? It feels like there's still a way to go in terms of representation, but overall it's great to see so many talented artists being recognized 
. I'm also loving the nods to Latin culture and the music that's been making waves this year 
.
They're just a bunch of celebrities trying to be socially conscious, but really they're just being attention-seekers. I mean, what's next? Are they gonna start wearing rainbow-colored bindis on the Grammys stage too? 
Anyway, I think it's cool that Bad Bunny spoke out about his heritage and the struggles of Puerto Ricans, but let's not forget that he's still a multi-millionaire pop star – doesn't change the fact that ICE is doing important work to keep our country safe. Plus, some of these artists are just using their platform to virtue signal, rather than actually making a real difference. I'd be way more impressed if they spent their time and resources on actual charity work or advocacy efforts. Give me a break, celebrities! 
it's so great to see him using his platform for good

. Artists like Bad Bunny and Gloria Estefan using their awards to voice criticism against ICE is super powerful 
. It's a great reminder that music can be more than just entertainment, it can also be a tool for change 
.
! And can we talk about how awesome it was to see artists using their platform to make a statement? The "ICE out" pins were a bold move, and I'm here for it 
! Kudos to the Grammys for celebrating music from all genres while also tackling tough social issues – now that's what I call a Grammy win in my book 
i saw some vids online and those ice pins were EVERYWHERE 
but anyway lol what do u think about bad bunny's speech? was it too much? or did he get away with saying ices name out loud 
btw who else is excited for the after parties 
! Like, I'm so proud of him for using his platform to speak out against ICE and advocate for immigrant rights 
it's amazing to see the Grammys celebrating not just great music, but also the artists' commitment to using their voices to make a difference 
#GrammyLove! The way artists used their platform to speak out about important issues like immigration and ICE was truly powerful 
#GrammyImpact. It's heartening to see so many celebrities using their platforms for good

, it's amazing to see how music can bring people together and spark important conversations 
. Bad Bunny's speech was super powerful and I love how he highlighted the struggles faced by his community 
it's about time we see more artists taking a stand like this! And can we talk about how awesome it was to see Latin artists get recognition? It's not like they're underrepresented in music or anything 
especially with him being from puerto rico, its a huge deal. and can we talk about the representation? latin artists killing the game this year is amazing 
? It's cool that artists like Kehlani and Gloria Estefan are using their platforms to speak out, but maybe we can do better than that.
. Not saying I don't respect his talent or anything, but... anyway, on to the next year, I guess 
. And can we talk about how awesome it was to see all these artists using their platforms to speak out against ICE? 
. And Billie Eilish and Finneas's collaboration on "Wildflower" is literally the most beautiful song I've ever heard 
Gloria Estefan rocking that "ICE out" pin is everything 
Billie Eilish and Finneas are a total dream team, they deserve all the wins 
Is it just a fun way to show solidarity or is there more to it than that? 
. The Grammys are definitely doing better by using their influence to promote positivity and inclusivity 
and a powerful statement on behalf of the Latinx community
