Bad Bunny opens the 65th annual Grammys by performing a melody of songs from his nominated album 'Un Verano Sin Ti.'

[Bad Bunny](https://www.vulture.com/2022/12/ticketmaster-mexico-bad-bunny-counterfeit-tickets.html) kicked off the 65th Grammys on February 5 by performing a medley of songs from his Album of the Year–nominated record, [Un Verano Sin Ti](https://www.vulture.com/article/best-albums-2022.html). He sang lines from “El Apagón” as he weaved through the crowd before heading to the main stage to sing “Despues De La Playa.” As with every vibrant performance of Benito’s, it was filled with tributes to his home of Puerto Rico: cabezudos of important Boricuas like Roberto Clemente and [Tego Calderón ](https://www.vulture.com/2017/09/15-essential-reggaetn-tracks-that-are-not-despacito.html)were ready to celebrate.

Bad Bunny kicked off the 2023 Grammy Awards at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday (06.02.23) with a lively tribute to Puerto Rico.

Bad Bunny's Grammys 2023 fit featured a nice and normal suit with a baseball cap, which may seem like a quieter key change. But it's still pretty Bunny.

As in 'you're the plus one to a wedding where you don't really know the bride or groom and thus don't feel it's appropriate to show off crisp and traditional. And yet that's what we got at the Grammys 2023: a founding member of the big fit set in clothes that were, by Bad Bunny's standards, pretty quiet (but still pretty good, and still inherently Bunny). Topping a classic suit with a baseball cap may seem like a quieter take, but it's a combo that works – and it's still an unusual one. [The Shows](https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/fashion/article/autumn-winter-2023-trends-menswear), Canali, Emporio Armani and Givenchy were but three brands to luxuriate in suits everyone can wear. While it gives a small nod to the early-00s exaltation of Fred Durst fratboy era, it's the sort of IDGAF mixing that's an integral chapter in Bad Bunny's playbook. The weirdification of menswear is ongoing, and we approve this message.

The Grammys are about pop culture, and what Bad Bunny brings is rebellion; that’s why I didn’t care when he didn’t win. In the grand scheme of things, what matters is that a Latino artist—a Puerto Rican, and therefore United States–born, American artist—was recognized for an album recorded in the musical tradition of his home and in his native language. What Latinos understand, and Puerto Ricans know in the depths of our soul, is that Bad Bunny doesn’t just serve up music. Trailing them were dancers in cabezudos—giant papier-mâché heads—in the likenesses of Puerto Rican icons and independence advocates including the poet Julia de Burgos and the reggaeton pioneer and anti-corruption advocate Tego Calderón. His rejection of the narrow confines placed around Latino men, by both white America and Hispanic patriarchal culture, is just one of the things that make San Benito’s rise so remarkable and important—to Puerto Ricans as a community and to outsiders who constantly struggle to understand us. Art, with its passions and abstractions, is often the only viable way to make sense of an absurd world. Bad Bunny is primarily a reggaeton artist, a genre born in Puerto Rico from the influence of Carribean reggae and mainland American rap. The latter, despite its American and white bias—even in categories rooted in Black history and heritage, such as hip-hop—has traditionally set the bar for who has, and hasn’t, been accepted into the American mainstream as pop-culture royalty.

Although it’s usually standard practice for live closed captioning to use these phrases as a catchall for all languages, many viewers found it in bad taste not to include actual lyrics to the show’s opening performance, making it feel like an afterthought to the network.
