The 2026 Grammy Awards are underway in Los Angeles. Darren Criss is currently hosting the annual Premiere Ceremony at the Peacock Theater, where the majority of the 96 Grammy categories are being announced prior to the main telecast. The primetime portion starts at 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time and is being hosted by Trevor Noah. It's the comedian's sixth and final time at the helm.
The Grammy nominations are here, and with it the realization we have no great pop juggernauts like we did last year. No Charli, no Beyoncé, and no Taylor. Still, there's a lot of Lady Gaga and Sabrina Carpenter and even a good showing for Justin Bieber - but the big narrative of this year's noms is the enthusiasm for this past year in rap: Kendrick, Bad Bunny, Clipse, and yes ... even Drake.
