The Grammy Awards have long been celebrated as music's biggest night, and at the age of 67, they continue to thrive with excitement and anticipation. This year, the ceremony is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles on Sunday, featuring a lineup of attendees that includes chart-topping artists like Harry Styles and Chaka Khan.
Kendrick Lamar leads the nominations with nine nods, primarily for his critically-acclaimed sixth album, 'GNX'. As last year's major winner, who took home both record and song of the year for 'Not Like Us', Lamar's influence continues to be felt across the music scene. Following closely are Lady Gaga with seven nominations and Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, and Leon Thomas, each with six.
With a total of 95 awards to be distributed over eight hours, viewers will not only witness major categories such as Album of the Year but also awards recognizing the best album artwork, best ambient or new age album, and more.
This year’s ceremony also carries a significant spotlight for K-pop, as artists like Rosé from BLACKPINK and the energetic group Katseye seek to break ground for the genre at the Grammys. With Rosé nominated for her track 'APT', there is a tangible possibility for K-pop to earn its first Grammy.
Overall, the 2026 Grammys stand poised to make history, not only with potential wins for artists across diverse genres but also through performances that may touch upon significant cultural and political issues. Ahead of the awards, speculation surrounds the possibility of surprise wins and inspiring performances, making this a night not to be missed.
