After a surprisingly uplifting ceremony in February, the Recording Academy is gearing up for its 68th annual Grammy Awards in 2026. Nominations were announced this morning for a year that included notable releases from Grammy stalwarts like Lady Gaga (Mayhem) and Kendrick Lamar (GNX) as well as relative newcomers like Alex Warren (“Ordinary”) and Laufey (A Matter of Time). It should be noted that Taylor Swift’s The Life Of A Showgirl, which is expected to receive a whole bunch of nominations next year, was not included in this year’s eligibility window, which ran from August 31, 2024 to August 30, 2025.
Kendrick Lamar leads the pack with nine total nominations. It was also a good morning for Lady Gaga, who received seven nods, as well as Sabrina Carpenter and Bad Bunny, who both got six.
The 68th annual Grammy Awards will be held February 1 next year in Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena. Check out a selection of the nominees below. The full list can be found on the Grammys website.
