With the Grammys this weekend, there will be performances by Addison Rae, Alex Warren, KATSEYE, Leon Thomas, Lola Young, Olivia Dean, SOMBR, and The Marías will perform in a special Best New Artist segment at the 2026 Grammy Awards. Last year there was a medley off all the new artists noms,
Others are Sabrina Carpenter, Pharrell, and Clipse have confirmed as well according to their website!
Last year besides the new artist medley and the tributes to the LA fires, and Quincy Jones and in memoriam, Shakira, Charli XCX, The Weeknd, Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, and Billie Eilish all performed.
It feels like every year has some huge moment, from Kobe, to the LA fires, Kesha support, with many legacy acts performing over time from Madonna, to Michael Jackson and more.
Its wild, because now this time around, Sabrina I feel like is the more seasoned artist compared to last years she fit like a Taylor Swift mini me where now she's coming into her own.
Last year it was so girl heavy, kinda love the pop music that was highlighted. The Weeknd has to be my fav thooo.
and in 2024 besides the tributes, it had huge female talent as well, Billie again, Dua Lipa, SZA, Miley, Olivia Rodrigo. Then the guys were Burna Boy, Travis Scott, Billy Joel/Laufey, U2, and Luke Combs/Tracy Chapman.
Music wise, in 2026, who will dominate the red carpet, who's performance will be the moment of 2026, and what will the gossip be this year?
