EDITOR’S NOTE: Kendrick Lamar has the most nominations (nine), followed by Lady Gaga, Jack Antonoff and music producer/songwriter Cirkut, who have seven nominations each.

The following is a press release from the Recording Academy:

The Recording Academy has officially released the full list of nominees for the 2026 GRAMMYS, marking the start of this year’s GRAMMY season and setting the stage for Music’s Biggest Night.

The nominees were announced today during a livestream, with artists including Chappell Roan, Doechii, KAROL G, Mumford & Sons, Sabrina Carpenter, Sam Smith, and more presenting all 95 GRAMMY Categories. This year’s nominations span a wide range of artists, genres, and projects — from established acts to first-time nominees — across pop, country, rap, R&B, Latin, global, jazz, and beyond, reflecting a year marked by wide-ranging creativity in music.

Winners will be determined by the Recording Academy’s Voting Members — a peer group composed of music creators, including artists, songwriters, producers, engineers, and more. Their GRAMMY votes decide every GRAMMY nominee and GRAMMY winner revealed on Music’s Biggest Night, reinforcing the GRAMMY Award as music’s only industry-recognized, peer-voted honor.

This year also marks a notable update to the GRAMMY Awards process: The 2026 GRAMMYS will introduce two new GRAMMY Categories — Best Traditional Country Album and Best Album Cover. These additions further the Recording Academy’s commitment to recognizing a broader spectrum of artistic craft and honoring the evolving ways music is created and experienced.

The 2026 GRAMMYS will take place Sunday, Feb. 1, live at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, broadcasting live on the CBS Television Network and streaming live and on demand on Paramount+.

Check out the full list of nominees for the 2026 GRAMMY Awards below.

2025 Grammy Awards: Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar are the top winners

February 2, 2025

With three prizes, including Album of the Year for “Cowboy Carter,” Beyoncé was one of the top winners at the 67th annual Grammy Awards, which were presented at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 2, 2025. Trevor Noah hosted the ceremony, which CBS telecast in the U.S. and which was livestreamed on Paramount+ With Showtime. Members of the Record Academy vote for the Grammy nominees and winners. Eligible recordings were released from September 16, 2023 to August 30, 2024.

Kendrick Lamar won the most Grammys (five) at the show for “Not Like Us,” which took the prizes for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance and Best Music Video. “Not Like Us” is a controversial “diss track” against rapper Drake, who filed a defamation lawsuit in January 2025 against Universal Music Group for releasing the song. Universal Music Group is the distributor of the record companies for Lamar and Drake.

Beyoncé had the most nominations (11) going into the ceremony. “Cowboy Carter” also won the Grammy for Best Country Album, while her song “II Most Wanted” featuring Miley Cyrus got the Grammy for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. Beyoncé also became the first black woman to win in those two Grammy categories.

Beyoncé’s Grammy Award for Album of the Year is the first time that she’s won in this category. She was previously nominated in this category for her albums “I Am… Sasha Fierce” (in 2010); “Beyoncé” (in 2016); “Lemonade” (in 2017); and “Renaissance” (in 2023). She was also nominated for Album of the Year in 2011, for being a featured artist on Lady Gaga’s “The Fame Monster.” Beyoncé currently holds the record for the artist who has won the most Grammys. She now has 35 Grammys out of 99 Grammy nominations.

Lamar had seven nominations going into the ceremony. And so did Charli XCX, Billie Eilish and Post Malone. Eilish and Malone ultimately didn’t win any Grammys this year, but Charli XCX won two Grammys: Best Dance/Electronic Album (for “Brat”) and Best Dance Pop Recording (for “Von Dutch”).

Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan had six nominations each. Swift was completely snubbed and didn’t win any Grammys. Roan won Best New Artist. Carpenter won two Grammys: Best Pop Solo Performance (for “Espresso”) and Best Pop Vocal Album (for “Short ‘n Sweet”). Although Carpenter’s song “Espresso (Mark Ronson x FNZ Working Late Remix)” won a Grammy for Best Remixed Recording, that award goes to remixers only—in this case, Mark Ronson and FNZ.

Grammy host Noah and several artists on stage mentioned charity efforts for the wildfire disaster in California that began on January 7, 2025, and which killed about 29 people and destroyed thousands of buildings and acres of land.

In non-competitive categories, Alicia Keys received the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award, which she accepted at the ceremony. The other non-competitive Grammys were awarded at a ceremony that took place at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles on February 1, 2025. Frankie Beverly, The Clash, Dr. Bobby Jones, Taj Mahal, Prince, Roxanne Shante, and Frankie Valli were Lifetime Achievement Award honorees. Trustees Awards went to Erroll Garner, Glyn Johns, and Tania León. The Technical Grammy Award went to Dr. Leo Beranek.

Performers at the show were Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Benson Boone, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, Chris Martin, Cynthia Erivo, Doechii, Herbie Hancock, Jacob Collier, Janelle Monáe, Playboi Carti, Raye, Sabrina Carpenter, Shakira, St. Vincent, The Weeknd, Lainey Wilson, Stevie Wonder and Teddy Swims. Dawes, Sheryl Crow, Brad Paisley, John Legend and Brittany Howard teamed up as a group to perform a cover version of Randy Newman’s “I Love L.A.” as the first performance of the ceremony. The Weeknd, who said in a previous year that he was boycotting the Grammys, made a surprise appearance at the show.

Presenters included Diana Ross, Jennifer Lopez, Cardi B, Gloria Estefan, Victoria Monét, Olivia Rodrigo, Queen Latifah, Will Smith, SZA, Taylor Swift, and Red Hot Chili Peppers members Anthony Kiedis and Chad Smith.

With five awards, including Best Play, “Stereophonic” (about a fictional rock band in the 1970s) was the top winner at the 77th annual Tony Awards, which were presented on June 16, 2024, at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City. Ariana DeBose hosted the Tony Awards for the third consecutive year. The ceremony was telecast in the U.S. on CBS and livestreamed on Paramount+ With Showtime.

According to a Tony Awards press release: “The nominees were selected by an independent committee of 44 theatre professionals appointed by the Tony Awards Administration Committee. The 2024 Tony Awards are presented by The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing.”

“The Outsiders” (based on S.E. Hinton’s 1967 novel about feuding young gangs) won four Tony Awards, including Best Musical. “Merrily We Roll Along” (about a close friendship between two men and a woman) also won four Tonys, including Best Revival of a Musical.

“Hell’s Kitchen” (a musical with songs by Alicia Keys and based on her youth in New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood) and “Stereophonic” had the most nominations (13) going into the ceremony. “Hell’s Kitchen” won two Tony Awards: Maleah Joi Moon got the prize for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical, while Kecia Lewis was awarded Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Musical.

Musical performances included those from the casts of “Hell’s Kitchen” (featuring a surprise appearance by Keys and Jay-Z, who performed their hit “Empire State of Mind” at the end of a medley); “The Who’s Tommy”; “Merrily We Roll Along”; “Water for Elephants”;
“Illinoise”; “Stereophonic”; “Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club”; “Suffs”; and “The Outsiders.”

Nicole Scherzinger performed “What I Did for Love” for the In Memoriam segment. Brian Stokes Mitchell, Bebe Neuwirth, Audra McDonald and Tony Awards host DeBose were also a special tribute to Chita Rivera, who died at age 91 on January 30, 2024.

The Tony Awards also had prizes in non-competitive categories, where the recipients were announced weeks in advance of the show. These awards were given during the non-televised portion of the ceremony. The Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre went to Jack O’Brien and George C. Wolfe. Special Tony Awards were given to Abe Jacob, Alex Edelman and Nikiya Mathis. The recipients for the Tony Honors for Excellence in the Theatre were Colleen Jennings-Roggensack, Dramatists Guild Foundation, Judith O. Rubin, the Samuel J. Friedman Health Center for the Performing Arts, Wendall K. Harrington and the Wilma Theater.

Presenters at the ceremony were Taraji P. Henson, Danai Gurira, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Pete Townshend, Taylor Tomlinson, Wendell Pierce, Ashley Park, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Patrick Wilson, Anthony Ramos, Ben Platt, Julianne Hough, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Andrew Rannells, Josh Gad, Jim Parsons, Tamara Tunie, Nate Burleson, Solomon Thomas, Jeffrey Wright, Hillary Clinton, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Hudson, Sean Hayes, Brooke Shields, Nick Jonas, Adrienne Warren, Cynthia Erivo and Idina Menzel.

With five prizes, Universal Pictures’ “Oppenheimer” (about atomic bomb inventor J. Robert Oppenheimer) was the top winner at the 81st annual Golden Globe Awards, which were presented at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, on January 7, 2024.
