Grammy Awards 2026 Winners: The Full List of Results and Highlights

The 68th Annual Grammy Awards took place on February 1, 2026, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. It was a major night for the music world that felt like both a celebration and a farewell. This was the final year the ceremony aired on CBS before moving to Disney-owned platforms like ABC and Hulu in 2027. The event brought together global icons and new stars for a night of high-energy performances and record-breaking wins.

The atmosphere in Los Angeles was electric as the Recording Academy honored artists from every genre. From the red carpet to the main stage, the focus was on the massive impact of music in 2025. Fans saw history made in real-time as the show honored the diversity of the modern music scene.

Bad Bunny and Kendrick Lamar Make Grammy History

The biggest stories of the night belonged to Bad Bunny and Kendrick Lamar. Both artists broke massive records that have stood for decades.

Bad Bunny officially changed the game when his project Debí Tirar Más Fotos won Album of the Year. This is a historic milestone because it is the first time an album recorded entirely in Spanish has taken home the top prize in Grammy history. During his acceptance speech, he delivered a powerful message about human rights. He called for an end to harsh immigration enforcement, famously saying "ICE out" to a standing ovation. He reminded the crowd that "we are humans and we are Americans," dedicating his win to his culture and people who follow their dreams across borders.

Kendrick Lamar also had a legendary night that cemented his legacy as one of the greatest rappers of all time. He entered the night as the most-nominated artist and walked away with five trophies. His wins included Best Rap Album for GNX and Record of the Year for "Luther," his viral collaboration with SZA. With these victories, Kendrick officially became the most-awarded rapper in Grammy history, reaching a career total of 27 wins and passing the previous record held by Jay-Z.

Notable Moments and Global Milestones

The night was packed with other memorable moments.Billie Eilish won Song of the Year for "Wildflower," continuing her incredible run at the awards. During her speech, she joined the night's theme of social awareness, wearing an "ICE OUT" pin and stating that "no one is illegal on stolen land."

Global music also took center stage. The song "Golden" from the project K-Pop Demon Hunters won Best Song Written for Visual Media, marking the first time a K-pop track has ever won a Grammy.

In the pop categories,Lady Gaga made a triumphant return with two wins for her album Mayhem and the hit "Abracadabra." Olivia Dean was named Best New Artist, highlighting the strong influence of British soul music on the global charts.

Trevor Noah and the Final Bow

Trevor Noah returned to host the Grammys for his sixth and final time. He kept the evening moving with his signature style, often walking through the audience to joke with stars like Kendrick Lamar and Lady Gaga. Noah noted that since it was his last year, he felt free to be more direct with his humor.

During the show, Noah touched on current events and President Donald Trump. He joked about the president’s newfound friendship with Nicki Minaj and made a sharp comment comparing the prestige of a Grammy to the president's interest in Greenland and Epstein's island. These jokes drew a fast response from the US president on social media, who called the show "unwatchable" and threatened a lawsuit over the host's comments.

Despite the political back-and-forth, Noah’s final hosting turn was praised for keeping the focus on the music while providing a few viral moments for the fans.
