Music’s biggest night is here. The 68th Annual Grammy Awards takes place tonight— and this year’s awards show is sure to be an unforgettable one. Kendrick Lamar, who made history at the 2025 Grammys for winning all five awards he was nominated for with his diss track “Not Like Us,” leads the pack with nine nominations.
Lady Gaga earned seven nominations this year, topping her previous record of six in 2011. The Mother Monster landed nominations in three of four major categories: Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Gaga was tied with producers Jack Antonoff and Cirkut, who each nabbed seven nominations.
Bad Bunny, the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show performer, received six. The Debí Tirar Más Fotos hitmaker is in the running for Album of the Year, Best Música Urbana Album and the newly unveiled Best Album Cover category, among others.
Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter, who also won big at last year’s awards show, are repeat nominees. Roan earned two Grammy nods — Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance — for her track “The Subway.” Carpenter received six nominations, the same as last year, in categories including Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Pop Vocal Album. Should Carpenter win Best Pop Vocal Album at this year’s awards show, she’ll become the first artist to take home that award in back-to-back years.
And the Best New Artist category is brimming with up-and-coming talent, with nominees including Addison Rae, Olivia Dean, Katseye and Lola Young.
