The Grammys 2026 Winners Are In: Here’s The Full Rundown And Nominees

Another year, another Grammys ceremony that managed to reflect the current mood, deliver star-studded *looks* and was surprisingly validating for anyone who has spent the past 12 months obsessively crafting their Spotify Wrapped.

Many artists took the awards ceremony to use their platforms for political good, with Bad Bunny receiving a standing ovation for ending his acceptance speech with a very pointed anti-ICE statement.

Kendrick Lamar became the most awarded rap artist of all time, ousting Jay-Z, after a massive year of bangers and sparking revolutions.
