The 31-year-old "DtMF" singer and upcoming Super Bowl headliner officially became the first Spanish-language artist to receive nominations for Album, Record, and Song of the Year in a single year when the 2026 Grammy nominations were unveiled Friday morning.
The Puerto Rican superstar and three-time Grammy winner is nominated for six categories, bumping him up to 16 career nominations. Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar once again proved that he's not like us, earning nine nominations for his sixth album, GNX, including Record, Album, and Song of the Year. Following close on his heels are Lady Gaga and songwriter-producers Jack Antonoff and Cirkut, who each racked up seven nods.
The 2026 Grammys will be held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Feb. 1.

Nueva Yol is my jam from the DtMF album. But I get it. I'll be rooting for Zombie from YungBlud in the rock song category. Love that tune. And the music video is quite touching.
