Chappell Roan and More Announced as Grammys 2026 Presenters

by

The stage is set for the 2026 Grammys.

Before the February 1st award show, which will be hosted by Trevor Noah, the list of presenters has been announced. This year’s presenters include Harry Styles, Charli XCX, and Chappell Roan.

Teyana Taylor, the Oscar-nominated star of the hit movie One Battle After Another, will be a presenter at the event, along with Jeff Goldblum from Wicked. The show will also feature comedians Nikki Glaser, who hosted the Golden Globes, and Marcello Hernandez from Saturday Night Live.

The evening will feature a diverse lineup of musicians. Karol G, Lainey Wilson, Doechii, Carole King, Q-Tip, and Queen Latifah are also joining as presenters.

As a lifestyle expert, I can tell you the biggest night in music is always full of incredible performances! This year is no different. We’re going to see some amazing sets from all the Best New Artist nominees – that’s Addison Rae, KATSEYE, Alex Warren, The Marías, Leon Thomas, Sombr, Lola Young, and Olivia Dean – plus some performances from established artists we all know and love.

Lady Gaga—who scored seven nominations this year—is set to rock out to her latest album Mayhem.

Sabrina Carpenter was nominated for Best New Artist last year, but she’s really come into her own since then. The 26-year-old is up for Album of the Year for the second year in a row and will perform at the show. She’ll be joined by Post Malone, Reba McEntire, and Justin Bieber, who is returning to the ceremony after a four-year absence.

As a longtime awards show watcher, I’m a little sad to share that this year will be Trevor Noah’s last time hosting the Grammys! He’s been fantastic for six years, but the show is also making a big change – it’s leaving CBS after 50 years, and will be moving to ABC, Hulu, and Disney+ starting in 2027. It’s a new era for music’s biggest night!

Grammy executive producer Ben Winston announced on January 13th that Trevor Noah will return to host the show for the sixth and final time. Winston praised Noah as an exceptional host, highlighting his intelligence, humor, and genuine love for music and the artists. He said Noah’s contributions to the show have been remarkable, and they’re excited to work with him one last time.

The comedian, who previously hosted The Daily Show, has explained how he approached hosting the Grammy Awards.

In a January 2024 interview with People magazine, Trevor Noah explained that he always considers the impact of his work. He said he doesn’t assume anything will go as planned, especially when it comes to jokes, and he focuses on preparation while hoping for a positive outcome.

Look, at the end of the day, I really just focus on putting in the work. I constantly challenge myself to come up with the most hilarious material and find the best way to deliver it. After that, I honestly just let things unfold as they may – I trust the process and leave the rest up to fate.

Read on to see how the 2026 Grammy nominees reacted to their nominations. 

Ariana Grande received nominations for Best Pop Solo Performance and Record of the Year for her song “The Subway.” She simply wrote “Thank you @recordingacademy” on her Instagram Story on November 7th to acknowledge the news.

Leon Thomas expressed his gratitude in an Instagram post on November 7th, thanking God, his team, collaborators, producers, family, friends, and especially his fans for their support. He wrote that he couldn’t have achieved this without them, and shared that he has a performance tonight and plans to keep working hard on his next album.

Timothée celebrated receiving a nomination for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media—for his work on A Complete Unknown—by sharing the news on his Instagram Story on November 7th, adding the encouraging message, “Dream Big.”

Grammy nominee Sombr (also known as Shane Michael Boose) expressed his shock and gratitude in an Instagram post on November 6th. He thanked the Recording Academy and his voters, saying he was proud to be recognized alongside so many artists he admires.

The 20-year-old went on to reflect on how the last year changed his life. 

Music has always been a huge part of my life, and it’s truly transformed me. A year ago, I was nineteen, really struggling with depression, and didn’t know what to do. I wrote all these songs by myself, in my bedroom. Now, looking back, I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who supported me and helped me keep going.

The singer, known for his song “Back to Friends,” also shared his love and appreciation for his fans. He explained that they inspire him to keep creating music, even when he’s struggling. He said seeing the positive impact his music has on them means the world to him, and he thanked them sincerely from the bottom of his heart.

The K-Pop Demon Hunters were thrilled when their song “Golden” was nominated for Song of the Year.

“I’m not able to digest this time,” Ejae told Variety in a statement. “I’m still in shock.”

Rei Ami added, “This feels out of this world.”

Meanwhile, Audrey Nuna was floored by the representation that came with their nomination. 

She explained that viewers would see three Korean actors. The thought of children seeing that representation, and potentially being inspired by it, was incredibly moving for her.

I nearly screamed when I saw Kelsea’s Instagram Story! She posted about it on November 6th, and I just lost it – Patterns is nominated for a GRAMMY! Seriously, a GRAMMY! I’ve been listening to that album non-stop, and it deserves all the recognition in the world. I’m so incredibly happy for her!

When Addison Rae found out she was nominated for Best New Artist, she shared her reaction with fans through four selfies.

Blackpink’s member reacted honestly when her song “APT,” a collaboration with Bruno Mars, was nominated for both Song and Record of the Year. In an Instagram Story video, she playfully worried, asking her team if they were going to win, right before the announcement. When “APT” was officially named a nominee, she excitedly screamed.

The singer, nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammys for the first time, posted a video of his reaction. He was visibly shocked and then overcome with emotion, tearing up with his wife, Kouvr Annon, as friends celebrated with confetti. He wrote in the caption, dedicating the moment to his parents: “Mom and Dad, I know you’re watching. I miss you.”

Following nominations for Best Rap Album and Album of the Year for Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out – an album he made with his brother Malice – he reacted on Instagram by sharing several prayer-hand emojis.
