List of 2026 Grammy Awards winners: The 68th Grammy Awards definitely had its moments as it crowned the best of the best in various genres and fields of music. While many did not realize their dream of becoming Grammy winners, many others had their names etched in the history books. Rapper Kendrick Lamar, singer Bad Bunny and Lady Gaga won big during the event, while host Trevor Noah took his time to criticize the establishment, taking advantage of the fact that he hosted the show for the last time.
There were also moving live performances throughout the show, with Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, Bruno Mars, Post Malone and Lauryn Hill providing great moments. Hill returned to perform at the show after 27 years and collaborated with a group of artists to pay tribute to late singer D’Angelo, who passed away last year in October. Beyond the tributes and political statements, many tasted glory, and the following is the complete list of nominations and winners.
