Music’s biggest night is just around the corner. On Feburary 1, 2026, the 68th annual GRAMMY awards will take over the Crypto.com arena in Los Angeles, California. The award show will be airing live on CBS and streaming on Paramount+, bringing together the biggest names in music for one unforgettable night.

Last year’s GRAMMY’s made history – Sabrina Carpenter took home Best Pop Vocal Album, Chappell Roan earned Best New Artist, and Beyonce claimed both Album of the Year and Best Country Album.

The 68th annual GRAMMY nominations have just been announced, and music fans everywhere – myself included – are on the edge of their seats.
