The 2026 Grammys are officially here. With its momentous musical performances — including the highly anticipated return of Justin Bieber — and some of the boldest red carpet looks of the year, it’s easily one of our favourite dates in the awards calendar.
From Bianca Censori and Kanye West’s naked stunt last year to Nicki Minaj’s infamous ‘fake pope’ accessory back in 2012, the Grammys have long cemented their reputation as the most unpredictable ceremony of the season — and that’s before a single award is handed out.
This year’s nominations continue that energy, with pop’s current It-girl Sabrina Carpenter scoring major nods alongside Justin Bieber, whose comeback era has firmly placed him back in awards-season contention.
As music’s biggest names take the stage, all eyes are on who will define the sound of 2026. See all the nominees below.
