2026 GRAMMYS: Nominations List

The 2026 GRAMMYS nominations have been announced.

















See the full list of nominees in all 95 GRAMMY Categories ahead of Music's Biggest Night on Sunday, Feb. 1.

Country music earned no nominations in the four major all-genre categories for 2026.
In August Morgan Wallen reportedly opting not to submit his album, I'm the Problem, for Grammy Awards consideration in 2026, according to an anonymous source cited by Hits Daily Double. Sources characterized Wallen's decision as a deliberate and polite decline, noting that he has previously not received nominations at the Grammy Awards. However, they emphasized there is no indication of animosity between Wallen and the Recording Academy.

The 2026 GRAMMYS take place Sunday, Feb. 1, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, broadcasting live on the CBS Television Network and streaming live and on demand on Paramount+. Watch highlights and exclusive GRAMMYS content from the 2026 GRAMMYS all year long on live.GRAMMY.com.

The Recording Academy has officially released the full list of nominees for the 2026 GRAMMYS, marking the start of this year’s GRAMMY season and setting the stage for Music’s Biggest Night.

The nominees were announced today during a livestream, with artists including Chappell Roan, Doechii, KAROL G, Mumford & Sons, Sabrina Carpenter, Sam Smith, and more presenting all 95 GRAMMY Categories. This year’s nominations span a wide range of artists, genres, and projects — from established acts to first-time nominees — across pop, country, rap, R&B, Latin, global, jazz, and beyond, reflecting a year marked by wide-ranging creativity in music.

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. Their GRAMMY votes decide every GRAMMY nominee and GRAMMY winner revealed on Music’s Biggest Night, reinforcing the GRAMMY Award as music’s only industry-recognized, peer-voted honor.

Following Sabrina Carpenter's skyrocketing 2024, which saw the delightful "Espresso" dominate summer playlists and Short n' Sweet earn her two GRAMMYS, she released "Manchild" as the lead single for her seventh LP, August's Man's Best Friend — and launched another round of irresistibly witty pop.

Through country-inspired synth-pop melodies, Carpenter pokes fun at immature men with her sharp quill: "Why so sexy if so dumb?/ And how survive the Earth so long?/ If I'm not there, it won't get done/ I choose to blame your mom." 

2026 GRAMMYS Nominations: Watch Live Here

This year also marks a notable update to the GRAMMY Awards process: The 2026 GRAMMYS will introduce two new GRAMMY Categories — Best Traditional Country Album and Best Album Cover. These additions further the Recording Academy’s commitment to recognizing a broader spectrum of artistic craft and honoring the evolving ways music is created and experienced.

The 2026 GRAMMYS will take place Sunday, Feb. 1, live at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, broadcasting live on the CBS Television Network and streaming live and on demand on Paramount+.

67th GRAMMY Awards - Full Winners & Nominees List





















2025 GRAMMYs: See The Full Winners & Nominees List

The 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards were broadcast live on Sunday, February 2, 2025 in Los Angeles, CA.

From Beyoncé's COWBOY CARTER making history, winning her first Album Of The Year award and becoming the first Black woman to ever take home a golden gramophone in the Best Country Album, to Kendrick Lamar's “Not Like Us” sweeping in all five categories he was nominated in, the 2025 GRAMMYs were a monumental show that showcases why GRAMMY Sunday is Music's Biggest Night. Aside from notable award wins, electrifying performances from artists like Doechii and Chappell Roan rattled Crypto.com Arena and entirely transformed the energy in the room.

Following her momentous first Album Of The Year win, Beyoncé also earned the night's biggest boost for an album. COWBOY CARTER, which also won Best Country Duo/Group Performance for the Miley Cyrus collab "II MOST WANTED," earned 25,000 equivalent album units post-GRAMMYs — a 254 percent gain.

Kacey Musgraves won the 2025 Grammy for Best Country Song with "The Architect." She expressed surprise in her acceptance speech, thanking her team and fans. Musgraves highlighted the importance of fighting darkness through music. Co-written with Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne, "The Architect" is from her album "Deeper Well," released last year.

Chris Stapleton won his 11th GRAMMY for Best Country Solo Performance, and WOODLAND, the latest album by Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, was recognized as Best Folk Album.

Sierra Ferrell, a native of West Virginia and an emerging bluegrass and country artist, achieved notable success by winning in each of the four categories in which she was nominated. She secured awards for Best Americana Album (TRAIL OF FLOWERS), Best American Roots Performance, Best Americana Performance ("Lighthouse"), and Best American Roots Song. The latter award is shared with her co-writer, musician, songwriter, and vocalist Melody Walker.

The Americana Music Association congratulated Sierra Ferrell for her wins in the Americana and American Roots categories.
Winners in the American Roots Music Field also included: The Taj Mahal Sextet (Swingin' Live At The Church In Tulsa) for Best Traditional Blues Album; Ruthie Foster (Mileage) for Best Contemporary Blues Album and Kalani Pe'a (Kuini) for Best Regional Roots Music Album award.

The award for Best Bluegrass Album was won by flatpick guitarist Billy Strings for Live Vol. 1, marking his second Grammy win after seven nominations over the last five years.

2025 GRAMMYs FASHION

Beyonce donned a gold/ white Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown (Styled By – shionat | HMU – Neal Farinah, Rokael Lizama) and the embroidery rocked a country-inspired theme but the bust was too tight and underwire was visible. See Instagram Post

Kacey Musgraves' Ralph Lauren Collection Spring 2025 outfit struck a perfect balance. A simple white tank allowed the embellished skirt to shine, while a leather cast concho belt—collaboratively made with Navajo silversmith Jimmy Begay Jr. and Shiprock Santa Fe Gallery—added a touch of country flair.

CINDERELLA-INSPIRED CARPET WINNER: Sabrina Carpenter wore a custom JW Anderson gown. A pale blue dream dress with a halter neckline, peplum detailing, and feather accents added a touch of whimsy.













































CLASSIC TAY: With The Tortured Poets Department leading the 2025 Grammy nominations for Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year, Taylor Swift had every reason to present herself with confidence and elegance wearing a red custom Vivienne Westwood mini dress.

Kelsea Ballerini showcased French elegance in a black bugle-beaded mini dress from Tamara Ralph Couture Fall 2024. The dress's dazzling embellishments and perfect fit exuded glamour, but the addition of a white cape might spark mixed opinions.

WHIRLY-TWIRLY: Sierra Ferrell made a significant impact at the Grammys, securing four awards while adorned in an elaborate white gown designed by Jeffrey Kelly Designs. The dress, reminiscent of a bold bridal ensemble, included large luminescent sleeves, pearl embellishments throughout, and a coordinating choker.
