This year’s ceremony is held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, with South African comedian Trevor Noah returning as host for the sixth consecutive time.
One of the most talked-about races of the night is the Album of the Year category, where Bad Bunny, Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, Clipse, Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar, Leon Thomas, and Tyler, the Creator were all vying for the top honor. Notably, none of the nominees previously won in this category—guaranteeing a first-ever Album of the Year win for one artist by the end of the night.
Meanwhile, there was also much excitement for the Best New Artist award, with Olivia Dean, KATSEYE, The Marías, Addison Rae, Sombre, Leon Thomas, Alex Warren, and Lola Young competing for the coveted title.
Also, Kendrick Lamar etched his name into music history, becoming the most awarded rapper at the Grammy Awards after a dominant showing at the 2026 ceremony held on Sunday, February 1.
The Compton-born rapper entered the night with 22 Grammy wins and walked away with five additional trophies, taking his career total to 27.
In doing so, the 38-year-old rapper surpassed Jay-Z’s long-standing record of 25 Grammy wins, while also pulling ahead of Kanye West, who has 24, to claim the title of the most decorated rapper in Grammy history.
Here’s the complete list of winners from the 68th Grammy Awards.
