Music’s biggest stars. Glamorous gowns. Everyone walking the same red carpet. You know what that means — the 2026 Grammys are officially underway.

Leading up to this year’s ceremony at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday (Feb. 1), many of the night’s nominees showed up and showed out for the traditional pre-show fashion and photo walk. Sabrina Carpenter — who’s up for album of the year with Billboard 200-topper Man’s Best Friend, among other awards — looked elegant in a structured steel-colored gown, while Clipse and Pharrell Williams arrived in matching dusty rose suits. ROSÉ, whose hit “APT.” with Bruno Mars might take home record and/or song of the year, looked ethereal in a black-and-white gown, while Gen-Z fashion icon and 2025 best new artist Chappell Roan arrived in an elegant burgundy cape with a daring cutout before presenting the same award at this year’s ceremony.

But those are just a few of the numerous celebs who walked the red carpet before heading inside for the awards, which were hosted once again by Trevor Noah. Kendrick Lamar was the most nominated artist of the night, scoring nine nods, while Lady Gaga, Jack Antonoff and Cirkut followed close behind with seven apiece. The night’s billing also featured a number of performances, including ROSÉ and Mars, Carpenter, a best new artist medley and many more.

Before all the awards fun could begin, though, the red carpet showed everyone arriving in style. See all of the best photos of the nominees and presenters of the 2026 Grammys red carpet below.

Game, start! After a banner year with Billboard Hot 100 hit “APT.,” ROSÉ and Bruno Mars brought their drinking-game-turned-smash-hit to the Grammys stage on Sunday (Feb. 1).

Taking the stage in matching black-and-white outfits — with the BLACKPINK singer in a dapper white tank, tie and slacks — the duo opened the program, getting the audience up on their feet and jumping within just minutes of the Grammys starting. “Don’t you want me like I want you, baby?/ Don’t you need me like I need you now?” ROSÉ sang with a big smile as Mars shredded on electric guitar next to her, their onstage chemistry palpable. “Sleep tomorrow, but tonight go crazy/ All you gotta do is just meet me at the.”

With their performance in the books, the K-pop superstar and Silk Sonic hitmaker would go on to wait and see whether “APT.” would scoop either of the major category nominations it was up for. It was also up for best pop duo/group performance, which Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo won for Wicked duet “Defying Gravity” before the televised ceremony began.

While Mars already had 16 Grammys and 36 career nominations going into this year’s ceremony, 2026 marked the first time ROSÉ was ever nominated — as well as the first time any K-pop soloist ever scored nods in the general field categories. “APT.” was also in the running for record of the year and song of the year.

Beyond making Recording Academy history, “APT.” also dominated Billboard‘s charts throughout 2025. The carefree, uptempo track — which was inspired by a Korean drinking game — spent a total of 12 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and peaked at No. 3 on the Hot 100.

The 2026 Grammys went down at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, hosted once again by Trevor Noah. The most nominated artist was Kendrick Lamar with nine nods total, followed by Lady Gaga, Jack Antonoff and Cirkut, who scored seven apiece.

The Grammys broadcast kicked off at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. Fans can also stream the ceremony on Paramount+.

Gloria Estefan and CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso were among the first Latin winners on Sunday (Feb. 1) at the Grammys Premiere Ceremony of the 2026 Grammy Awards, a pre-televised event where the majority of trophies were handed out. Bad Bunny took home one of the six gramophones he is nominated for: best global music performance for “Eoo,” with four other categories still to be announced during the live broadcast.

Estefan got best tropical Latin album for Raíces, adding a fifth Grammy to her extensive list of accolades. CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso won best Latin rock or alternative album for Papota. Both sets were also awarded at the 2025 Latin Grammys in November.

“Thank you! Fifty years later and my heart is still racing,” Estefan said while accepting the trophy alongside her husband and producer Emilio Estefan, speaking in a mix of English and Spanish. “It’s been an amazing year. Babe, thank you for this amazing album that you produced for me. You are the best. You continue to be my biggest inspiration.”

“The only thing I can tell you is, 50 years ago we were one of the first groups of Latin rhythm to record bilingual. I’m proud that we did both languages. Proud to be Latino,” Emilio added in English.

Meanwhile, Paco Amoroso spoke on behalf of the Argentine duo, with CA7RIEL by his side on stage. “We want to thank the academy, the voting members, Sony, and everyone who believed in us,” he said in Spanish. “We are very grateful for this opportunity you’ve given us. To our families, our team, Argentina and all of Latin America, we love you!”

Among the winners in the Latin categories, Natalia Lafourcade took home the Grammy for best Latin pop album for Cancionera, and Carín León won best música mexicana album for Palabra De To’s (Seca). Neither was present to accept their award. Bad Bunny, who was expected at the televised ceremony, also did not attend.

The Premiere Ceremony was streamed live at 3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT on the Recording Academy’s YouTube channel and the Grammys website. It took place at the Peacock Theater in the LA Live complex in Los Angeles (which also includes the Crypto.com Arena) and was hosted by Darren Criss, who was nominated for best musical theater album as part of the cast of the Broadway show Maybe Happy Ending. That trophy went to Buena Vista Social Club, the acclaimed musical about the Cuban artists who brought to life the Grammy-winning album from 1997.

Bad Bunny remains in contention for best música urbana album (the only Latin category to be announced during the televised gala), as well as three of the night’s top honors: album of the year for Debí Tirar Más Fotos, and song and record of the year for “DtMF.” The live broadcast will air on CBS from the Crypto.com Arena in L.A. starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

The Puerto Rican superstar made history as the first Spanish-speaking artist to be nominated in all three major categories in the same year. This is also the second time he competes for album of the year, after being nominated in 2023 with Un Verano Sin Ti. Additionally, “DtMF” is only the second Spanish-language song nominated for both record and song of the year, following “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee (featuring Justin Bieber).

Also in the main categories, Edgar Barrera competed for a third time as songwriter of the year, non-classical. The Mexican hitmaker, who participated as a presenter at the Premiere Ceremony, was nominated this time as the writer or cowriter of hits for artists including Young Miko, Karol G, Carín León, Fuerza Regida, Grupo Frontera, Manuel Turizo, Shakira and Juanes. The award went to Amy Allen, whose credits include “APT.” (ROSÉ and Bruno Mars), “Lost in Translation” (Carín León and Kasey Musgraves) and “Manchild” (Sabrina Carpenter).

Other Latin artists appeared in various non-Latin categories. In the Grammy category for best global music performance, in addition to Bad Bunny, nominees included Peruvian Ciro Hurtado for “Cantando en el Camino” and Cuban Yeisy Rojas for “Inmigrante y Qué?” Two Brazilian icons, Caetano Veloso and Maria Bethânia, won the best global music album award for Caetano e Bethânia Ao Vivo.

Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel and Mexican composer Gabriela Ortiz were once again nominated in several classical music categories. Both were honored with the wins for “Ortiz: Yanga” as best choral performance (Los Angeles Philharmonic & Tambuco Percussion Ensemble; Los Angeles Master Chorale) and the eponymous album as best classical compendium.

In the jazz and Latin jazz categories, Cuban musicians Paquito D’Rivera and Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Mexican Arturo O’Farrill and Puerto Rican Miguel Zenón were nominated. Peruvian artist Flor Bromley competed for best children’s music album, for Herstory.
