Bad Bunny<\/a> is set to kick off his already-big 2026 with a major win at the Grammy Awards, according to Gold Derby’s official predictions. The Puerto Rican rapper, already set for the Super Bowl halftime show in a few weeks, is favored to take home Album of the Year for DTMF, over tough competitors like Lady Gaga<\/a> and last year’s big winner, Kendrick Lamar.<\/p>\n

But don’t sweep for Mother Monster just yet. Gaga is predicted to take home Record of the Year for her song “Abracadabra.” It would be the 14-time winner’s first time taking home the award \u2014 or any of the top three categories. <\/p>\n

Rounding out that trio of award is potentially a major hit from the world of film. KPop Demon Hunters<\/a>, which became Netflix’s most-watched film of all time on its way to two potential Oscar wins, is predicted to take Song of the Year at the Grammys<\/a>.<\/p>\n
