The 2026 Grammy Awards are shaping up to be a night of meaningful milestones, marking both new beginnings and notable farewells for music’s biggest celebration.
Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, Doechii, Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar With SZA, Chappell Roan and the duo of Rosé and Bruno Mars vie for the coveted record of the year, while Bad Bunny, Justin Bieber, Carpenter, Clipse, Pusha T and Malice, Lady Gaga, Lamar, Leon Thomas and Tyler, the Creator compete in the album of the year category.
Lamar leads nominations with nine (and has already won multiple awards before the premiere ceremony), followed by Lady Gaga and producers Cirkut and Jack Antonoff, each of whom has seven. Bad Bunny (one win so far), Carpenter, Thomas and recording engineer Serban Ghenea are tied with six.
