The 2026 Grammy Awards are getting near, and it is one of the biggest nights in music. That is, unless you are a fan of metal or polka or something else. The show is truly for pop, so one can expect to see a bunch of pop artists (or hip-hop artists) play a part.
The 68th annual Grammys will take place on Sunday, February 1, and begin at 8 pm ET. Comedian Trevor Noah will host the awards program for the sixth straight year. That isn't a bad thing. He's been brilliant, and it makes sense to keep bringing him back.
If you want to watch the Grammys, you can do so on CBS, or you can stream the program on Paramount+. Below is who has been announced as presenters and performers, and we will keep this updated as new information comes in.
2026 Grammy Awards performers
- Sabrina Carpenter
- Clipse
- Pharrell Williams
- Addison Rae *
- Alex Warren *
- KATSEYE *
- Leon Thomas *
- Lola Young *
- Olivia Dean *
- sombr *
- The Marias *
The ones with an asterisk above are all Best New Artist nominees. All of the artists in that category will perform. Like every year, some of these musical acts aren't new. They've been around for a long time while trying to work their way toward popularity.
The biggest question might be whether Taylor Swift will perform. Two years ago, she dropped the news that she would be releasing a new album soon thereafter. Since she released an album in the fall, it is unlikely she will suddenly produce another album so soon. She might not feel the need to show up at the ceremony because of that.
2026 Grammy Awards presenters
- Harry Styles
- Doechii
Clearly, there will be a lot more presenters for the Grammys than just Styles and Doechii (the first two presenters announced), and we will keep this updated with the latest. That said, a lot of people might not mind if Styles were the only presenter.
This will be the year of Styles, though. He has a new album dropping on March 6 and a massive new tour. If you miss the former One Direction singer at the Grammy Awards, just wait. You will see him in lots more places in 2026.
