Highlights from the 68th Annual Grammy Awards: Winners, Performances, and Historic Moments
The 68th annual Grammy Awards are currently underway at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, with the Premiere Ceremony kicking off the festivities. The event saw Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande winning the award for best pop/duo group performance for "Defying Gravity," although they were not present to accept it. A total of 86 Grammys will be awarded before the main broadcast.
The Premiere Ceremony also saw historic wins, such as the first Grammy for a K-pop act with "Golden" from "KPop Demon Hunters" winning the song written for visual media category. FKA twigs also secured her first Grammy for best dance/electronic album with "EUSEXUA." The Latin music categories were also recognized, with Natalia Lafourcade, CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, and Carín León among the winners.
The 2026 Grammy Awards have shifted focus back to music after last year's emphasis on relief efforts following wildfires. The main show, hosted by Trevor Noah, promises to be a star-studded event with performances from Kendrick Lamar, Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny, and more. The show will air live on CBS and can be streamed through various platforms.
Leading the nominations this year are Kendrick Lamar with nine nods, followed by Lady Gaga, Jack Antonoff, and Cirkut with seven each. The lineup of presenters and performers includes a diverse array of artists, from Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars to Reba McEntire and Ms. Lauryn Hill. The event will also feature tribute performances to D'Angelo, Roberta Flack, and Ozzy Osbourne.
As the Grammy Awards continue to celebrate musical excellence, fans can expect a night filled with memorable performances, well-deserved wins, and exciting collaborations. Stay tuned for more updates and highlights from this year's ceremony.
