The nominees for the 2026 Grammy Awards are underway.
Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of The Recording Academy, opened Grammys voting season today with a star-studded stream of recorded nomination announcements. Sabrina Carpenter appeared in curls; Sam Smith at a piano; Sharon Osbourne and her children appeared together to announce best rock album and best metal performance, both previously won by Ozzy Osbourne, who died this summer.
Chappell Roane (also in curls) appeared with a pep talk for the Best New Artist nominees, which included Addison Rae and Lola Young. Doechii introduced spoken word and rap album, where the nominees included GloRilla, Tyler, The Creator and Kendrick Lamar.
Song of the year was an absolutely overloaded category, with artists including Lady Gaga, Doechii, Bad Bunny, and the fictional band from KPop Demon Hunters.
The show celebrates the best music released within the window of eligibility, which this year is August 31, 2024-August 30, 2025. Meaning, don’t expect to see Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl” (released October 3) represented.
The winners will be revealed at the Grammy Awards live show at the Crypto.com arena in Downtown Los Angeles on Sunday, February 1.
