Lady Gaga was also among the most nominated artists for the upcoming Grammys, with 7 nominations for her album Mayhem. You can watch the nominations-reveal video below.
The winners of the 2026 Grammys will be revealed on Sunday, February 1, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. CBS will air the award show and stream it live on Paramount+.
The Recording Academy has added two new categories for its 68th annual Grammys: Best Album Cover and Best Traditional Country Album. The Album Cover category honors excellence in cover art for albums and recordings across all genres of music, celebrating the art directors whose craft shapes a record’s story and vision. The existing Best Country Album Category has been renamed Best Contemporary Country Album, and a brand-new Best Traditional Country Album category has been added.
