Tate McRae<\/a> found out she earned her first Grammy nomination from none other than her mother. The singer, who is nominated tonight for best dance pop recording for \u201cJust Keep Watching\u201d from the F1 movie, tells Vogue: \u201cI was waking up for my second-to-last show, and the first text I saw was from my mom: \u2018Good morning, my Grammy-nominated artist.\u2019 Honestly, it was so cute. That was just the cherry on top of an already insane year.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the 2026 Grammys<\/a>\u2014and her first nomination\u2014are already in pinch-me territory, McRae met the moment in custom Balenciaga<\/a> by Pierpaolo Piccioli. \u201cFor my first Grammys, I wanted something with structure and edge, with a lot of details,\u201d McRae tells Vogue ahead of the Grammys. \u201cI\u2019ve admired the work of Pierpaolo for so long, so being able to create a custom look together for an occasion like this is such a dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

A vision of Old Hollywood<\/a> glamour, McRae hit the carpet in a black strapless dress with a convex neckline. While its bodice fans out into a dramatic train, the dress\u2019s underskirt is embellished with layers of long, spiky black petals\u2014a memorable motif from Piccioli\u2019s first collection for Balenciaga, spring 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sister styling duo and pop-star whisperers Chloe and Chenelle Delgadillo kept the old-school glam going with McRae\u2019s accessories. Piccioli called back to Crist\u00f3bal Balenciaga\u2019s day with a pair of black evening gloves and a custom clutch. McRae upped the ante with black crepe satin Christian Louboutin slingbacks and jewelry from Lorraine Schwartz.<\/p>\n

For McRae, who got her start on So You Think You Can Dance as a child, the moment is a culmination of years of hard work. \u201cI feel like it\u2019s going to be exactly how I\u2019ve always imagined it,\u201d she says. \u201cYou spend your whole life quietly dreaming of moments like this, and somehow, when they finally arrive, they look so much like the visions you held onto when you were younger. There\u2019s something incredibly special about that\u2014watching a dream grow with you and then meeting it again in real life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tate McRae found out she earned her first Grammy nomination from none other than her mother.
