Grammys 2026 Winners List: Kendrick Lamar Breaks Records, Lady Gaga and Bad Bunny Score Big Wins

Kendrick Lamar has become the most-awarded hip-hop artist in Grammy history.

The rapper took home the first award of the night for best rap album for “GNX.” He also won record of the year. He surpassed Jay-Z, who has 25 Grammys, and Kanye West, who has 24.

ICE was a huge topic among the Grammy winners and attendees. Multiple artists wore ICE OUT pins to the Grammys Sunday night, including Billie Eilish, Justin and Hailey Bieber, Bon Iver, Jack Antonoff and others. The collective action was done seemingly in solidarity with not just America’s immigrants but also with the anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, who have been protesting the immigration agency’s actions in the city over the past month.

Bad Bunny used his acceptance speech for Best Música Urbana Album to call out ICE and reiterate the importance of leading with love instead of hate.

“Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say: ICE OUT,” the Puerto Rican rapper and singer said at the top of his speech, prompting loud cheers from those in attendance at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. “We’re not savage. We’re not animals. We’re not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans.”

“The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love, so please, we need to be different,” the Grammy-winning artist, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, continued. “If we fight, we have to do it with love. We don’t hate them. We love our people. We love our family, and that’s the way to do it — with love. Don’t forget that, please. Thank you. Thank you, God!”

“Wildflower” by Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell took home Song of the Year, with Eilish also calling out ICE during her acceptance speech.

Performances during the primetime ceremony included Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Rosé, Bruno Mars, Clipse, Pharrell Williams (who also received the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award) and Tyler, the Creator. The Best New Artist nominees — Olivia Dean, Leon Thomas, Alex Warren, Katseye, Addison Rae, Sombr, Lola Young, and The Marias — also performed in a dedicated segment.

Tributes honored Ozzy Osbourne, D’Angelo and Roberta Flack. Osbourne’s tribute featured Post Malone, Slash, Duff McKagan, Chad Smith and Andrew Watt, while Lauryn Hill performed for D’Angelo and Flack. Additional “In Memoriam” performances included Reba McEntire, Brandy Clark and Lukas Nelson, with video tributes to Brian Wilson and Bob Weir narrated by Bruce Springsteen.

Early winners included Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande for best pop duo/group performance (“Defying Gravity”); Doechii for best music video (“Anxiety”); “Golden” from “KPop Demon Hunters” for best song written for visual media; and Lady Gaga for best dance pop recording (“Abracadabra”).

The film “Sinners” earned wins for both best compilation soundtrack and best score soundtrack for visual media. Filmmaker Steven Spielberg also joined the EGOT ranks, winning his first Grammy as a producer on “Music by John Williams,” which took best music film.
