The Grammy Awards 2026 presented its 68th edition, which highlighted the best of the music scene over the past year and also brought new voting rules. Pop megastars, rap innovators, young talent and rock legends took to the stage, with familiar names such as Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar, YUNGBLUD and Bad Bunny, as well as music legends The Cure and Nine Inch Nails, competing for awards.
