2026 Grammy nominations: Kendrick Lamar 9 nods for GNX, Lady Gaga 7 for MAYHEM, Sabrina Carpenter 6. Full list, reactions, snubs like Taylor Swift. Feb 1 ceremony.
The 2026 GRAMMYs are here — and it's a smash. Kendrick Lamar topped with 9 nominations for GNX, while Lady Gaga (MAYHEM) and producers Jack Antonoff & Cirkut snagged 7 each. Sabrina Carpenter (Man’s Best Friend) and Bad Bunny (DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS) hit 6, with Leon Thomas (MUTT) as the surprise breakout.
From K-pop's HUNTR/X ("Golden" for Record of the Year) to Clipse's comeback (Let God Sort Em Out), it's a diverse feast. The 68th Annual GRAMMYs air Feb 1, 2026, on CBS & Paramount+ from LA's Crypto.com Arena. Here's the full list, nominee reactions, snubs, and why it's trending — plus style inspo from the stars under $100.
