The 2026 Grammy Awards telecast is underway in Los Angeles, after a three-hour-plus Premiere Ceremony leading into the primetime show at Crypto.com Arena airing live on CBS and Paramount+. Trevor Noah hosts.
The Recording Academy is honoring the past year’s best in music achievement across of a total of 95 categories. Scroll below for the winners so far, preshow coverage and follow along for more winners as they are announced.
Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas O’Connell won their third Song of the Year prize, this one for “Wildflower.” The pair triumphed for “Bad Guy” in 2020 and “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie in 2024. “As grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything but that no one is illegal on stolen land,” Eilish said in accepting.
Olivia Dean won Best New Artist, which was presented by last year’s winner Chappel Roan. “I guess I want to say I’m up here as thy granddaughter of an immigrant,” Dean said onstage. “I’m a product of bravery, and I think those people deserve to be celebrated. We’re nothing without each other.”
The first award on the telecast went to Kendrick Lamar, who won Best Rap Album for GNX. He now has passed Jay-Z for the most career Grammys by a rapper. During the Premiere Ceremony earlier, he won Best Rap Song for “tv off,” Best Melodic Rap Performance for “luther” with SZA and Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals for “Big Fish.”

Bad Bunny picked up his fourth career Grammy tonight, this one Best Música Urbana Album for Debí Tirar Más Fotos. “Before I say thanks to God, I’m gonna say ‘ICE out,’” he said onstage to a huge cheer (watch the ovation here). “We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans. … The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love.” Here is his must-watch speech in full, followed by a couple of interactions with host Noah:
Jelly Roll won his first three Grammys tonight, one during the telecast and two other during the preshow. “There was a time in my life, y’all, that I was broken,” he said in accepting Best Contemporary Country Album for Beautifully Broken. “That’s why I wrote this album. I didn’t think I had a chance, y’all. There were days I thought the darkest things. I was a horrible human. There was a moment in my life when all I had was a Bible this big and a radio the same size in 6-by-8-foot cell. And I believed that those two things could change my life.”
Lady Gaga won her 17th career Grammy, taking Best Pop Vocal Album for Mayhem after taking her 15th and 16th during the preshow. “I just want to say for women in music that I know sometimes when you’re in the studio with a bunch of guys, it can be hard. So I urge you to always listen to yourself and always fight for your ideas, fight for your songs, fight for yourself as a producer. Make sure that you are heard.”
The broadcast kicked off with Rosé & Bruno Mars tearing through their international smash “Apt.,” and Sabrina Carpenter followed a airport-themed take on “Manchild,” complete with bleeped expletives. Both are up for Song and Record of the Year. Justin Bieber later played “Yukon” shirtless and solo. Lady Gaga performed “Abracadabra” in a typically wild outfit. Bruno Mars & The Hooligans did a horns-drenched “I Just Might.” Tyler, The Creator did a wildly choreographed take on “Thought I Was Dead” that aired partially in black and white and fed into “Sugar on My Tongue.”

The Marías led performances by the Best New Artist nominees with “No One Noticed,” followed in quasi-medley fashion by by Addison Rae with “Fame Is a Gun,, Katseye doing “Gnarly,” Leon Thomas with “Mutt,” Alex Warren’s “Ordinary,” Lola Young belting “Messy” — for which she won Best Pop Solo Performance tonight — Dean with “Man I Need” and Sombr playing “12 to 12.” Watch portions of all the new artist performances on Deadline’s X/Twitter page.

Performers to come include Lauryn Hill, giving her first Grammy stage show since 1999, when she won Album of the Year and Best New Artist, and country icon Reba McIntyre, who is making her Grammy performance debut.
Q-Tip presented the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award to Pharrell Williams, recognizing his musical achievements, entrepreneurial innovation, philanthropic efforts and global cultural influence.
The In Memorial segment was preceded by Bruce Springsteen narrating a tribute to Beach Boys legend Brian Williams, who died in June. “Brian Wilson was the kind of shining musical genius who made generations of songwriters so much better,” Springsteen said. “I know this because I’m one of them.”
