At the 68th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on February 1, 2026, singer Billie Eilish used her acceptance speech to make a political statement that went viral online. Eilish won the Song of the Year award for “Wildflower,” which she co‑wrote and performed with her brother Finneas O’Connell.
During her speech on stage, Eilish said, “No one is illegal on stolen land” and called for continued protest and activism. She and Finneas both wore pins reading “ICE Out,” opposing US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) policies. Eilish went on to say that voices matter and urged people to continue speaking up in support of immigrant rights. Parts of her remarks were directed at ICE, which were censored on live broadcast.
