GRAMMY Nominations 2026: The Full List Is Here

The GRAMMYs are an annual event to behold, and yet again, the nominations have come in as scheduled. The only question is: will this year’s lineup outdo the previous?

Keep in mind we had some of the biggest cultural moments last year at the GRAMMYs, with Kendrick leaving with a torso full of awards. A sweep that iconic is rare, but the contenders are strong this time around as well.

Of course, the line up is graced by the likes of Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, Travis Scott, Clipse and Kendrick Lamar (yet again), but there are a few unexpected great acts in the mix too. Check out the complete list of nominations below!

The nominations are the winners will be determined by the Recording Academy’s Voting Members — a peer group composed of music creators, including artists, songwriters, producers, engineers, and more.

The 2026 GRAMMYS take place Sunday, Feb. 1, and broadcast live on the CBS Television Network and stream live and on demand on Paramount+
