Gonna be golden? Who will – and should – win the big awards at the 2026 Grammys

The 2026 Grammys are shaping up to be a spectacular ceremony, with many talented artists vying for top honors. The Record of the Year category is looking particularly strong, with Kendrick Lamar & SZA's collaboration "Luther" standing out as a dark horse contender.

Bad Bunny's DTMF and Billie Eilish's Wildflower are also in the mix, but it seems that Kendrick Lamar & SZA have the momentum on their side. Their song "Luther" is not only a commercial success but has also been praised for its artistic chemistry between two all-time American greats.

Meanwhile, the Album of the Year category is looking fierce, with Bad Bunny's Debí Tirar Más Fotos and Tyler, the Creator's Chromakopia making strong bids for the top spot. However, it seems that Kendrick Lamar & SZA will take home the award this year.

In the Song of the Year category, Huntr/x's "Golden" is in contention, but Bad Bunny's DTMF still holds a slight edge due to its massive popularity and innovative lyrics. The song's impact on pop culture cannot be overstated, with its catchy hooks and unforgettable melody making it a standout track.

The Best New Artist award will go to Olivia Dean, with Lola Young also giving her a strong run for the money. Both artists have already made waves in the music industry, but Dean's rising popularity has given her the edge she needs to take home the award.

In the Rock Performance category, Yungblud's "Changes" is looking like the clear winner, thanks to its masterclass performance and Ozzy Osbourne-inspired vocals. Linkin Park's "The Emptiness Machine" is also a close contender, but it seems that Yungblud will take home the award this year.

Finally, in the Best Rap Performance category, Clipse is looking like the clear winner, thanks to their energetic and engaging performance on "Chains & Whips." Kendrick Lamar's "TV Off" is also a strong contender, but it seems that Clipse will take home the award due to their impressive chemistry and storytelling.

Overall, it's shaping up to be an incredible night for these talented artists. Will the Grammys recognize their hard work and dedication with top honors? Only time will tell.
 
Ugh, another year, same old Grammys drama 🤯🎶. I'm so over how they always play favorites in the Best New Artist category. Olivia Dean is definitely talented, but does she really deserve to win over Lola Young just because she's on the rise? It feels like the Grammys are more interested in showcasing their pet artists than actually recognizing real talent.

And can we talk about how predictable this whole thing feels? Kendrick Lamar & SZA are going to take home most of these awards, aren't they? 🙄 It's like the Grammys have a secret pact to ensure those two always win. I'm not saying it's bad that they're good artists, but can't we get some more diversity in the winners this year?

The only category that actually has some real competition is Song of the Year, which is weird since "Luther" is basically just Kendrick Lamar & SZA doing their thing again 🎤. I mean, where's the innovation? The Grammys need to step up their game if they want to make these awards exciting again 🔥👀
 
The 2026 Grammys are really gonna be something special 🎉! I mean, have you seen the competition in all those categories? It's crazy to think that Kendrick Lamar & SZA could be taking home so many awards, especially Album of the Year and Best Rap Performance. I know their song "Luther" is a game-changer - it's like they took two art forms and mashed them together into something totally unique. And let's not forget about Bad Bunny, who's always pushing boundaries with his music. His DTMF track has been on repeat all year and I can see why it's in the mix for Song of the Year.

On a more interesting note, what do you think is behind Olivia Dean's rise to fame? She's clearly got some serious talent but she doesn't seem like the typical 'new artist' - there's something about her vibe that sets her apart. And in the Rock Performance category, Yungblud's energy is infectious! His performance of "Changes" had me feeling all the feels and I can see why it's winning over so many hearts.

It's also worth noting how underrated Linkin Park's "The Emptiness Machine" is right now 🤯. They've been a staple in the rock scene for years and this track showcases their storytelling abilities perfectly. Okay, maybe I'm being optimistic here but Clipse's performance on "Chains & Whips" is giving me all the nostalgic feels - that song always takes me back to 2002 😂.

One thing is for sure: it's gonna be a wild ride at the Grammys this year! The music industry is constantly evolving and I love how these artists are pushing the boundaries of what we consider 'music'. Bring on that red carpet 📺!
 
I'm loving the buzz around the 2026 Grammys 🎉! It's always so exciting to see the music industry come together to celebrate the best of the best. I've got a good feeling about Kendrick Lamar & SZA's collaboration, "Luther" - it's been getting rave reviews and has that special something that can only happen when two incredible talents come together 🎶.

I'm also intrigued by Bad Bunny's DTMF, but at the same time, I think Tyler, the Creator's Chromakopia is going to give him a run for his money 😊. It's always great to see artists pushing boundaries and taking risks in their music.

And yay for Olivia Dean! She's been making waves with her unique sound, and it'll be amazing to see her take home that Best New Artist award 🎉. I'm also stoked to see Yungblud and Linkin Park getting some recognition in the Rock Performance category - they're both incredible performers in their own right!

The way they vibe together is just pure magic 🔮 And Bad Bunny's DTMF is giving me LIFE 💃 Those hooks tho! 🎶 Also, I'm low-key rooting for Huntr/x in the Song of the Year category - "Golden" is straight fire 🔥 Can't wait to see who takes home those awards 🏆

Who do you think is gonna take home the award? 🎶

🤔 I'm so done with these Grammy voting changes 🙄. Back in my day, we used to just have like 2-3 categories and it was all about the good ol' rock 'n' roll vibes 🎸. Nowadays they've got like a million categories and every genre is getting its own special award 🤯. Don't get me wrong, I love discovering new artists and whatnot, but sometimes I feel like we're losing some of that raw talent because there are just so many options 🤷‍♀️.

And what's up with all the emphasis on collaborations? Kendrick Lamar & SZA's song "Luther" is a great track and all, but can't they just write something from scratch for once? I mean, don't get me wrong, chemistry between artists is important, but come on 🙄. Let's see some originality, you know? 😜
 
I'm so over the fact that they're doing a "special" ceremony just for the Best Rap Performance category 🤦‍♂️. Like, can't they just include it in the main show already? It's not like Clipse is going to be able to perform again next year 😒. And what's up with the constant predictions on who's going to win? Can't we just watch and see how it goes down? 🤔
 
I'm so hyped for the 2026 Grammys 🤩! The competition this year is insane! Kendrick Lamar & SZA's collab "Luther" is giving me all the feels, I love how they vibe together, it's like a match made in heaven ❤️. And can we talk about Bad Bunny's DTMF? It's like he's breaking the rules and making pop music his own 🔄. I'm also feeling Huntr/x's "Golden" in Song of the Year, it's such a banger 🔥.

I think Olivia Dean is going to slay as Best New Artist, she's got that special somethin' 🎤. And Yungblud's Rock Performance? Forget about it! He's bringing the fire 🔥. I'm rooting for Clipse in Best Rap Performance, their chemistry is undeniable 👊. This year's Grammys are going to be epic, can't wait to see who takes home the trophies 💫.
 
the grammys always feel like a letdown after watching the ceremony 🤔 ugh i mean dont get me wrong i love live music but its just so much hype and people can be super fake in public lol and what's with the voting process anyway seems like its all about who u know 🤷‍♀️ anyway hope olivia dean wins best new artist shes got a cool vibe going on 👍
 
man i'm low-key excited for the 2026 grammys 🤩🎉 but i gotta say kendrick lamar & sza's collaboration "luther" is giving me life 💀 it's like they're speaking a different language or something - that chemistry between them is real 🔥 and huntr/x's "golden" is catchy af 🌟 bad bunny's dtmf is definitely a dark horse contender though 🤔 i'm also loving the vibe of yungblud's performance in the rock performance category 🤘 what do you guys think? who's gonna take home the grammy for best rap performance?
 
I'm feeling a vibe of competition among these talented artists 🎵👏. Kendrick Lamar & SZA's collab "Luther" is like, whoa! The chemistry between them is undeniable 💯. I love how Bad Bunny's DTMF and Billie Eilish's Wildflower are giving it a run for their money too 🤩. But, you know, the Album of the Year category has got some fierce contenders 🔥. Huntr/x's "Golden" might not be getting as much attention, but it's still super catchy and memorable 🎶. I'm rooting for Olivia Dean to take home that Best New Artist award - her energy is infectious! 😊
 
OMG 🤯... just reading this is depressing, lol 😂. Artists are all doing so well, but what about those who aren't even nominated?! The music industry is getting more competitive by the minute & it's like you gotta be a superstar to get any recognition at all 🤷‍♀️. And don't even get me started on the mental health of these artists, putting themselves out there every year and dealing with all this pressure 😩... anywayz, can't wait to watch the ceremony, but also kinda anxious about the outcome 💔
 
I'm soooo excited for the 2026 Grammys 🤩. I mean, who wouldn't want to watch a bunch of rich people in suits walk up to stages and pretend like they're having the time of their lives? 😒 It's not like we have better things to do with our Saturday nights or anything. But hey, at least the music is good, right? And by "good", I mean it's probably going to be played on every overplayed radio station for the next 6 months. 🎶
 
I'm so stoked about the upcoming Grammys! I mean, have you seen Kendrick Lamar & SZA's collab "Luther"?! It's like they're speaking directly to my soul 🙌💫. And can we talk about how diverse the categories are this year? From Huntr/x's "Golden" to Yungblud's insane Rock Performance vibes 🤘, it feels like the Grammys are all about celebrating that special something. I'm rooting for Olivia Dean too - she's got a raw energy that's super infectious 💖. Fingers crossed everyone gets the recognition they deserve! 🎉
 
I'm so down for this 2026 Grammys, can't wait to see Kendrick Lamar & SZA slay...literally! 🤩 Their collab "Luther" is giving me life! But seriously, it's gonna be a tough competition, I mean have you heard Bad Bunny's DTMF? That song is fire 🔥. And let's not forget Billie Eilish's Wildflower, it's like she's speaking my language 🤗. I'm rooting for Olivia Dean too, her music is so refreshing and underrated 😌. But honestly, whoever takes home that Best New Artist award is gonna be deserving of all the recognition 💖. Can't wait to see Yungblud rock out on stage with Ozzy Osbourne vibes 🤟! This Grammys ceremony is gonna be EPIC 🎉!

🎶📈 I think Kendrick Lamar & SZA are gonna take home the Record of the Year 🏆... just watched a diagram 🤔 and it's all about how "Luther" is not only catchy but also super meaningful 💭. Both Kendrick and SZA bring their own heat to the table, making this collab 🔥. The way they blend genres and vibes is pure magic ✨. Can't wait to see what else the night has in store for us 🤞! 👀
