The 2026 Grammy Awards were a night of surprises and snubs, leaving fans and music enthusiasts alike scratching their heads. Unlike years when the winners in major categories like album, record, and song of the year are clear-cut, this year's ceremony saw several unexpected outcomes.

Kendrick Lamar took home his long-overdue album of the year win for "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers," while Bad Bunny secured the record of the year award with his collaboration with SZA on "Luther." However, it was Billie Eilish and Finneas who made history by becoming the first siblings to win three-time song of the year in Grammy history.

Other notable winners included Olivia Dean for best new artist, and Lola Young taking home the award for best pop solo performance for her song "Messy." On the snub side, Sabrina Carpenter failed to make an impact, going 0-6 on the night despite being nominated for several categories.

One of the biggest surprises came from The Cure, who won their first Grammys in a 50-year career. They took home awards for best alternative music album and best alternative music performance. Additionally, Jelly Roll's "Beautifully Broken" secured the award for best contemporary country album, while Eric Church was disappointed to see his work snubbed by the Academy.

As the night went on, it became clear that some disappointments were simply a matter of close competition rather than outright snubs. For instance, Darren Criss and Trevor Noah both received nominations but failed to take home any awards despite their impressive performances during the live ceremony.

Overall, the 2026 Grammy Awards showcased a mix of surprises, upsets, and celebrations, leaving fans eagerly anticipating next year's ceremony.
 
I gotta say, I'm still trying to process some of these winners 🤯. Like, who saw Kendrick Lamar taking album of the year? I mean, he's been dropping fire music for years, but I didn't think he was due for that win just yet 🎶. And Billie and Finneas winning song of the year three times in a row is wild - what's their secret to consistency? 🤔

On the other hand, I feel bad for Sabrina Carpenter, she seemed so nervous on stage and her performance was on point, but still no love from the Grammys 😐. And Eric Church, man, he poured his heart out with that song "Beautifully Broken" - it's like the Academy just didn't get it 🤷‍♂️.

It's crazy to think about The Cure finally winning their first Grammys after 50 years - they must be over the moon! 💫 And Lola Young's win for best pop solo performance is so satisfying, her song "Messy" is such a banger 💃. I'm just glad there were some surprises to make up for the snubs 🎉
 
omg what a night 🤯😱 i'm so happy for kendrick lamar he's been waiting for this win for ages, but bad bunny taking record of the year is kinda unexpected 🎶👀 i also loved seeing billie eilish and finneas break that sibling songwriting record - they're such talented duo! 💕 but sad to hear about sabrina carpenter not getting any wins despite being nominated like 6 times 😔 anyway, The Cure's Grammy win is SO sweet - they've been around for ages 🎸👏 what do you guys think about the snubs this year? 🤔
 
man, i'm still trying to process what happened at the grammys 🤯 like who saw that billie eilish and finneas winning song of the year back to back? no offense to anyone else who was nominated, but those two are like the music equivalent of a dynamic duo 💥 meanwhile, sabrina carpenter went 0-6 and i'm over here feeling for her 😂 did you see The Cure finally get their grammy? that's like winning a participation trophy after being in the game for 50 years 🎉
 
🤯 So like I was watching this on TV and my jaw literally dropped when Billie Eilish and Finneas won that song of the year award... it's crazy they're 3-time winners now! 🎉 And Kendrick Lamar is finally getting his due for "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers" - that album has been making waves since its release last year! 👍 Did you see the stats on Bad Bunny's record of the year win? He's like, a total trailblazer in the Latin trap scene now! 🌟 And I know some people were salty about Sabrina Carpenter not winning anything, but like, zero for six isn't so bad, right? 😂 The Cure is SO deserving of that first Grammy win after 50 years - they're legends! 💫 Here's a fun fact: the number of women nominated for Grammys this year was up by 14% from last year... 📊
 
😒 I'm so salty about Sabrina Carpenter getting snubbed! I mean, she slayed her performance on that stage 🤩, but did the Academy even notice? 🙄 And what's with Billie Eilish and Finneas winning again? Don't get me wrong, they're amazing artists and all 💖, but can't someone else get a break for once? 🤷‍♀️
 
omg i'm so hyped for Kendrick Lamar taking album of the year!!! 🎉 he finally got the recognition he deserved 💯 bad bunny and billie eilish's collab on "luther" is still my jam 🕺 and can we talk about The Cure getting their first grammy in 50 years? they're legends!!! 👑 lola young's "messy" is a bop i'm so happy olivia dean made it to best new artist, she's talented 💖 and jelly roll's win for best contemporary country album is so inspiring 🎶
 
I'm still reeling from the unpredictability of it all 🤯🎶 The way some artists just got snubbed while others came out on top is like, really saying something about how subjective art can be, you know? Like, I get why Sabrina Carpenter didn't take home any awards, but at the same time, Billie Eilish and Finneas are literally siblings who went from being up-and-coming artists to three-time song of the year winners in like, what, five years or so? That's wild 🤯.

And have you ever thought about how much it says about our culture that we're still celebrating awards shows for music, which is just a form of entertainment, right? Like, don't get me wrong, I love good music, but can't we be more than just a collective of people who are all trying to one-up each other with their art? 🤔
 
I gotta say, I was a bit surprised by The Cure winning those Grammys 🤩. Like, they're legends and all, but you'd think someone else would take them home after 50 years in the game 😂. But at the same time, it's awesome that they finally got some recognition for their contributions to music. And Billie Eilish and Finneas winning three-time song of the year is just crazy 🤯. I mean, those two are geniuses behind the scenes! But what really caught my attention was how snubbed Sabrina Carpenter was 😔. Like, she's an amazing artist and she got shut down by the Academy. Maybe next year, right? 💕
 
Wow 😮! I was totally shocked when Billie Eilish & Finneas won three-time song of the year 🤯🎶. Like what even is that?! Their collab with The Kid LAROI last year did great, but three times? That's insane 🤑. And The Cure finally getting Grammys after 50 years? Legendary 👏! Sabrina Carpenter being snubbed 0-6 though 😔, what was the Academy thinking?!
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around some of these wins 🤯! Like, I know Billie Eilish is an incredible artist, but come on, siblings winning three-time song of the year in a row? That's just wild 😲. And I gotta say, I'm loving The Cure's comeback win 🎸. They've been around for ages and it's awesome to see them finally getting their due recognition.

And can we talk about how underwhelming some snubs are? Like, Sabrina Carpenter going 0-6, that's just a bummer 🤕. But at the same time, I think the Academy did an okay job of recognizing some deserving artists like Olivia Dean and Lola Young 💖. It was definitely a night to remember, but also super surprising 😮.

I'm already counting down the days until next year's Grammys 🎉. Bring it on!
