And just like that, the 2026 Grammys are in the books, with all of the year’s biggest artists coming together to celebrate one another’s accomplishments — and enjoy each other’s knockout performances — at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday (Feb. 1).
Everyone from Sabrina Carpenter to Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Clipse and Tyler, The Creator — all of whom were up for album of the year, which Bad Bunny ended up winning — showcased their skills on the award show’s stage, as did first-time nominee ROSÉ and Bruno Mars. The Recording Academy also continued its tradition of inviting all of the best new artist nominees to partake in a live medley, which this year featured Olivia Dean (the category’s victor), Leon Thomas, Lola Young, Alex Warren, Addison Rae, Sombr, KATSEYE and The Marías.
There were also performances devoted to the memories of musicians who died in the past year, including D’Angelo and Roberta Flack, whom Lauryn Hill and a bevy of famous guests honored with a medley of their hits. Reba McEntire, Brandy Clark and Lukas Nelson also paid homage with a moving live rendition of “Trailblazer.”
But while it’s up to the academy to decide which stars took home all of the night’s awards — including record of the year winners Kendrick Lamar and SZA for “Luther” and song of the year Billie Eilish for “Wildflower” — Billboard wants you to choose whose performance was best on Sunday night. Tell us who you think had the best performance of the 2026 Grammys by voting in the poll below.
