CP NewsAlert: Joni Mitchell wins best historical album Grammy, wears “Ice Out” button on stage

By Canadian Press on February 1, 2026.

Joni Mitchell has won a Grammy for best historical album.

The Canadian folk legend made a rare public appearance to accept the award she won for “Joni Mitchell Archives – Volume 4: The Asylum Years,” a box set featuring unreleased material from her personal archives.

This particular collection highlighted songs from 1976 to 1980.

While her speech did not touch on politics, Mitchell wore an “Ice Out” button on stage.

Several winning artists took aim in their speeches at the Trump administration’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency that has sparked outcry for excessive use of force.

More coming.
