"It might be a case of deja vu all over again at the 2026 Grammy Awards. Kendrick Lamar, who absolutely owned the 2025 Grammys, could once again dominate when the latest edition of Music's Biggest Night goes down Feb. 1 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The hip-hop superstar won all five of the categories in which he was nominated last year including two of the Grammys' so-called Big Four general field awards and he almost certainly will add to that tally this time around."
"It's exactly the type of shiny, upbeat tune we loved to turn to when we needed a little attitude adjustment in 2025. Yet, that sunshiny aspect might actually work against it and send voters toward something with a little more weight. Eilish is a big Grammy favorite, with a zillion trophies already on her shelf, but come on enough is enough. Give it to somebody else like, well, Chappell Roan, who does such nice job on The Subway, or Doechii with the memorable Anxiety."
Kendrick Lamar leads the 2026 Grammy field with nine nominations after winning five awards in 2025, including two Big Four general-field trophies. The ceremony takes place Feb. 1 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles and will air live at 5 p.m. on CBS and Paramount+. Major multi-nominated artists include Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter and Tyler, the Creator. Record of the Year nominees span pop and hip-hop, with Sabrina Carpenter's bright "Manchild" favored by some but facing potential voter shifts toward weightier or breakout choices such as Chappell Roan or Doechii.
