Fans can look forward to a night filled with extraordinary performances, emotional moments, and the recognition of innovative artistry across genres.
This year’s ceremony will have a vibrant lineup, including performances by superstars such as Lady Gaga, who is nominated for multiple awards including Album of the Year and Song of the Year. She will be joined on stage by notable first-time nominees and emerging talent like Addison Rae, Olivia Dean, and KATSEYE, as well as established artists Pharrell Williams and Justin Bieber. The ceremony will also feature a poignant “In Memoriam” segment with tributes from artists including Reba McEntire and Lauryn Hill.
The event will be hosted by Trevor Noah, marking his sixth and final time leading the Grammys. Alongside him, Grammy winners Harry Styles and Doechii will take on the role of presenters, with a host of other talented celebrities—including Carole King and Charli XCX—set to announce various awards.
In an exciting development for this year’s ceremony, two new categories have been introduced: Best Traditional Country Album and Best Album Cover. This inclusion highlights the Grammys’ commitment to recognizing diverse artistic expressions and evolving musical styles. Nominees for Best Traditional Country Album feature works from renowned artists like Willie Nelson and Charley Crockett, while Best Album Cover showcases creative designs from Bad Bunny and Tyler, The Creator.
The 2026 Grammy Awards will air live on CBS from 8 to 11:30 p.m. ET, and fans can also stream the event on Paramount+. The Premiere Ceremony, where many awards will be announced, will precede the main event and is set to take place at the Peacock Theater, featuring performances from the likes of Darren Criss and other artists.
