The 68th Grammy Awards nominations are out with Kendrick Lamar leading with nine nods.
Following Lamar, Lady Gaga, Jack Antonoff and Canadian record producer and songwriter Cirkut received seven nominations. Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, Leon Thomas and Serban Ghenea were all nominated in six categories.
Music released between Aug. 31, 2024, and Aug. 30, 2025, is eligible for Grammy nominations — meaning some notable recent winners, including Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, were not eligible for nominations.
This year’s awards include two new categories: best traditional country album and best album cover. The existing best country album category was renamed to best contemporary country album.
The award show will take place on Sunday, Feb. 1, in Los Angeles. It will air on CBS and Paramount+.
Here’s a look at the 2026 Grammy Awards nominees. The list will be updated.
