Key Takeaways:

• Kendrick Lamar led the 2026 Grammy nominations with nine nods, including Album of the Year for GNX.
• Genre diversity was on full display, with Latin, pop, and country artists also taking home major awards.
• Trevor Noah hosted for the sixth year, with all Best New Artist nominees performing live.

The biggest night in music has finally arrived. On Sunday (Feb. 1), the 2026 Grammy Awards is airing live from Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena, with Kendrick Lamar entering as the most-nominated artist following his success at last year’s show.

The Compton MC picked up nine nominations overall, including Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year, thanks to GNX and its SZA-assisted “luther.” Close behind him are Lady Gaga with seven nods and Bad Bunny with six. The “DtMF” hitmaker is also set to headline the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show next week, so he's expected to have an incredible February.

Also receiving six nominations are Sabrina Carpenter and Leon Thomas. From there, Doechii, SZA, Clipse, and Tyler, The Creator follow with five nominations each. Notably, four of the eight Album of the Year contenders come from rap or R&B: Lamar’s GNX, Thomas’ MUTT, Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out, and Tyler’s CHROMAKOPIA. Hip Hop, specifically, hasn’t seen a rapper win in the coveted category in over two decades, so perhaps that dry spell will finally come to an end tonight.

With Trevor Noah returning as host for the sixth consecutive year and all Best New Artist nominees set to perform, there’s something for fans across every genre. See the full list of 2026 Grammy Award winners (in bold) below and check back for live updates.
