Show summary Hide summary
Stars stepping into the spotlight
Carpenter, who already won two Grammys earlier this year, could find herself competing again, this time for Record and Song of the Year with her single Manchild, and possibly for Album of the Year with Man’s Best Friend. Not bad for someone who started out on Disney and turned herself into a pop powerhouse
Then there’s Chappell Roan, the breakout star who grabbed Best New Artist in 2025. Her track The Subway still lingers in playlists everywhere, and fans are already betting she’ll repeat the magic with nominations in the biggest categories. Her fearless stage presence and unapologetic style made her a fan favorite (and yes, people are still talking about that pink outfit)
Doechii and Carlile join the race
Doechii is entering the spotlight again after taking home Best Rap Album. Her song Anxiety could become one of this year’s defining nominations, mixing introspection with swagger in a way that few can pull off

Meanwhile, Brandi Carlile keeps proving she’s in a league of her own. With 11 Grammys already, she’s chasing another nod for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album thanks to Who Believes in Angels?, her collaboration with Elton John. The title alone feels like a quiet rebellion against cynicism, a rare trait in pop today
A musical theatre twist
Nicole Scherzinger could finally add “Grammy winner” to her résumé after winning a Tony in June for Sunset Blvd. She’s in line for a nomination for Best Musical Theatre Album, proving that reinvention is the real pop superpower
More names and a new chapter for the Grammys
The livestream will also feature appearances from Angelique Kidjo, CeCe Winans, David Foster, Jon Batiste, Karol G, Little Big Town and Lizzo. In short, it’s shaping up to be a showcase of music’s most unpredictable mix of legends and rising icons
This upcoming show also marks a turning point. The 2026 Grammy telecast will air on CBS for the last time on February 1 before moving to ABC and Disney for the 2027 edition. A new network, a new stage, maybe a new era for an institution that has survived every wave of change so far

For all the criticism, the Grammys remain the ultimate symbol of recognition in music. Winning that golden gramophone still changes careers, still fuels dreams. Each nomination reflects a year of obsession, pressure and sound experiments that shaped what millions listened to. You can argue about who deserves what, but the excitement of this moment is impossible to fake
In the end, the Grammys are not just a show, they’re a mirror of how music evolves, and how artists like Carpenter, Roan, Carlile and Doechii keep rewriting what success looks like in 2025
