The nominations were announced during a special livestream event featuring artists such as Chappell Roan, Doechii, KAROL G, Mumford & Sons, Sabrina Carpenter, Sam Smith, and others, who presented all 95 GRAMMY categories. This year’s nominees represent a diverse mix of sounds and styles — from established icons to breakout newcomers — spanning pop, rap, R&B, country, Latin, global, jazz, and more, celebrating an extraordinary year of musical innovation.
Winners will be chosen by the Recording Academy’s Voting Members — a respected body of music creators including artists, songwriters, producers, and engineers. Their votes determine every GRAMMY nominee and winner, preserving the GRAMMY’s legacy as the music industry’s only peer-voted honor.
Notably, the 2026 GRAMMYs introduce two brand-new categories: Best Traditional Country Album and Best Album Cover. These additions underscore the Academy’s ongoing commitment to honoring artistic diversity and recognizing the many evolving forms of musical expression and creativity.
