Music\u2019s biggest night<\/a> is here. The 68th Annual Grammy Awards takes place tonight<\/a>\u2014 and this year\u2019s 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 \u201cNot Like Us,\u201d leads the pack with nine nominations.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Bad Bunny, the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show performer<\/a>, received six. The Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos hitmaker is in the running for Album of the Year, Best M\u00fasica Urbana Album and the newly unveiled Best Album Cover category, among others.<\/p>\n
