"Huge queer stars including Lady Gaga and Lola Young won some of the night's biggest accolades, while other LGBTQ+ musicians used the night of glitz and glamour to spotlight and call out US president Donald Trump's ongoing ICE occupation. Elsewhere, Nicki Minaj got a ribbing for cozying up to Trump, while Chappell Roan's nod to freeing the nipple got the internet talking."
"The music industry is built on the talent of LGBTQ+ people, and the 2026 Grammys proved as such, with swathes of this year's winners identifying as queer. Lady Gaga bagged three awards, including Best Pop Vocal Album for her bombastic 2025 record Mayhem and Best Dance-Pop Recording for "Abracadabra", while Billie Eilish won the coveted Song of the Year accolade for her 2024 ballad "Wildflower". Eilish and her brother and co-writer FINNEAS became the first songwriters to win three times in the category."

First-time Grammy winners included Lola Young and Yungblud. Kehlani, Cynthia Erivo and Doechii also added notable wins. Several performers and attendees used the event to protest US immigration policy, and red-carpet moments — notably Chappell Roan's sheer Mugler look — sparked widespread online conversation.
