2026 Grammy Award Winners And Nominees In Each Category

The Grammy Awards returned to Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on Sunday night, marking a historic moment for the music industry. Trevor Noah hosted the ceremony for the sixth and final time, while the broadcast also signaled the end of an era — after more than five decades, CBS aired the Grammys for the last time, with the show set to move to Disney platforms beginning in 2027.

The night’s top honors celebrated a mix of global superstars and rising talent. Olivia Dean took home the award for Best New Artist, while Billie Eilish and Finneas won Song of the Year. Record of the Year went to Kendrick Lamar and SZA, and Bad Bunny claimed the prestigious Album of the Year award.

In total, 95 Grammy Awards were presented, with the majority handed out during the non-televised Premiere Ceremony, which was hosted earlier in the day by Darren Criss. The main broadcast focused on the biggest categories, standout performances, and milestone moments that defined the evening.

The 2026 Grammys not only honored musical excellence but also marked a turning point in the show’s broadcast history, closing one chapter while setting the stage for a new era ahead.
