From Bad Bunny to Olivia Dean and more, the Grammys winners for 2026 represented the best in music this year, and how music can bring us all together. It was a night of captivating performances and winners speeches that both protested ICE and recognized our shared humanity.
The Grammys were full of firsts from the jump. Rosé became the first K-pop soloist to perform on the Grammys stage, and “Golden” from Kpop Demon Hunters became the first K-pop song to win a Grammy (for Best Song Written for Visual Media). Meanwhile, Bad Bunny ushered in his Super Bowl performance next week with a historic Album of the Year win, the first time an all-Spanish language album has won in the category.
And a major fun fact? Not one but two stars of the hit 2010s Nickelodeon show Victorious took home Grammys gold: Ariana Grande won Best Pop/Duo Group Performance with Cynthia Erivo for their performance of “Defying Gravity,” and Leon Thomas has so far won two Grammys for Best Traditional R&B Performance and Best R&B Album, for his album Mutt.
Below, find out the complete list of Grammys winners for 2026.
