All The 2026 Grammy Winners People Are Talking About

The 68th Annual Grammy Awards have officially come to a close, leaving the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles buzzing after one of the most unpredictable nights in music history.

Trevor Noah returned for his sixth and final stint as host, as he celebrated everything from the viral TikTok anthems that lived in our heads rent-free to the genre-blurring masterpieces.

Between Lady Gaga’s high-octane performance and that emotional In Memoriam tribute, the energy never wavered.

While the red carpet brought the glamour, the real drama unfolded on stages as the Recording Academy finally revealed who took home the gold.

Here are all the winners at the 2026 Grammys.
