"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. After all, he does lead the field with an impressive nine nominations in 2026."
"The nominees: "DtMF," Bad Bunny; "Manchild," Sabrina Carpenter; "Anxiety," Doechii; "Wildflower," Billie Eilish; "Abracadabra," Lady Gaga; "Luther," Kendrick Lamar with SZA; "The Subway," Chappell Roan; "APT.," Rosé and Bruno Mars The skinny: Our favorite of the bunch is "Manchild," which is yet another slice of pop goodness from former Disney Channel star Carpenter. It's exactly the type of shiny, upbeat tune we loved to turn to when we needed a little attitude adjustment in 2025."
The 2026 Grammy Awards take place Feb. 1 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Kendrick Lamar dominated the 2025 Grammys and now leads the 2026 field with nine nominations. Multiple high-profile artists including Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter and Tyler, the Creator are among the top nominees. Predictions concentrate on the Big Four categories: album, song, record of the year, and best new artist. Record of the Year nominees include songs by Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, Doechii, Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar with SZA, Chappell Roan, and Rosé with Bruno Mars. Sabrina Carpenter's "Manchild" is noted for its sunny pop appeal, though its upbeat tone could push voters toward weightier options; Billie Eilish remains a strong contender with an extensive Grammy history.
