The Recording Academy is gearing up for the 2026 Grammy Awards, with a star-studded lineup set to announce the nominations in a live stream. The ceremony, which will be broadcast on CBS for the final time before moving to ABC and Disney starting in 2027, promises to be an exciting ride.
Among those who will reveal the nominees are chart-topping artists like Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Brandi Carlile, Doechii, and more. The likes of Carpenter, who won two Grammys at this year's ceremony, could be nominated for record and song of the year for "Manchild" and album of the year for Man's Best Friend. On the other hand, Chappell Roan could bag a spot in the record and song categories for her hit single "The Subway."
On the traditional pop side, Brandi Carlile is looking good to score a nomination for Who Believes in Angels?, her collaboration with Elton John. Meanwhile, singer Scherzinger is also a likely contender for Best Musical Theater Album.
However, not everyone will be announcing the nominees; some big names like Angelique Kidjo, CeCe Winans, David Foster, Jon Batiste, Karol G, Little Big Town, Lizzo, Masaki Koike, Mumford and Sons, Sam Smith, Gayle King, Dr. Chelsey Green are set to unveil the categories in the live stream.
The ceremony will be broadcast on CBS for the last time before moving to ABC and Disney starting with the 2027 telecast. The Recording Academy's YouTube channel has confirmed that a nominations wrap-up show will air immediately after the announcement of the nominees.
As for the other artists who are set to announce categories, Dr. Chelsey Green is serving as the chairperson of the Recording Academy's board of trustees and Gayle King is co-hosting CBS Mornings

It just goes to show that everyone gets a chance to shine, no matter who you are or where you come from. I mean think about it, if someone's song is moving people and making them believe in something, they gotta get recognition for that 
And then we've also got these legends like Elton John getting collabs with amazing artists 
It's all about collaboration and sharing the spotlight. And have you noticed how many women are part of this live stream? 
I'm not saying it's just female power, but it's definitely a nice balance to see so many talented ladies being celebrated. The point is we gotta keep supporting each other and lifting each other up 
So here's the lesson: even if you're not in the spotlight right now, there's always room for recognition and growth.
Sabrina Carpenter is killing it this year and I'm rooting for her to win those record and song of the year awards!!! 
And omg Chappell Roan's "The Subway" is on repeat on my playlist!!! 
What a fantastic lineup of performers and presenters, can't miss the Grammys next year!!! 
I'm kinda bummed that they're moving the Grammys to ABC and Disney next year... don't get me wrong, it'll be cool to see a new platform, but I'm used to watching the ceremony on CBS 
. Sabrina Carpenter's music is so underrated - she was robbed of her Grammy last year and now she's up for two this time around? Fingers crossed! 
Also, Elton John is still going strong with that Who Believes in Angels collaboration... it gives me all the nostalgic feels 
. It'll be interesting to see how the live stream goes down - too many big names announcing categories at once might get overwhelming 
.
but also brandi carlile and chappell roan are giving strong competition too 
. Can't they just make it simple like on YouTube or something? And why do we need to watch on different channels for the next two years? It's gonna be on ABC and Disney, what's wrong with one network?! 
. But I don't wanna watch a live stream to find out who else is nominated. Can we just get the full list online afterwards or something?! 
. Like, can't they just simplify it like that?
. And let's not forget about the new nominations wrap-up show – I need that in my life! Can't wait to tune in and find out who's going to take home those coveted Grammys 
Can't wait to see the full list of nominees, gotta root for my faves! 
And the transition from CBS to ABC and Disney is gonna be so cool, new vibes every year! 
! I mean, can you even imagine all those talented artists announcing the nominations live on stream? It's gonna be insane! I'm totally rooting for Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan to get some love - their music is fire 
! The fact that Dr. Chelsey Green is chairing the board of trustees is super cool too - she's all about empowering women in music 
. Bring it on, 2026 Grammys!
chappell roan 
brandi carlile 
doechii 
and others too 
cant wait to see who gets nominated 
"manchild" by sabrina carpenter is giving me all the feels 
what about chappell roan's subway song? 
should def get nod 
abc disney tho 
I mean, who doesn't love Gayle King? 
And can we talk about how many talented singers are on this list? Sabrina Carpenter is killing it with her latest album and Chappell Roan's "The Subway" song is EVERYTHING! 
. And don't even get me started on the commercialization of music - can't believe they're making it all about the Benjamins 
. The fact that some big names aren't announcing the nominees is pretty shady, if you ask me... maybe they just want to be left out of the drama 
. And what's up with the change to ABC and Disney? Just another way for corporations to profit off of art 
...
... I'm so over how they're still using CBS after everything that's happened. It feels like a relic from the past. Can't we move on to ABC and Disney already? 
gotta say, so hyped about this year's grammy season 
gotta give props to the recording academy for setting up this awesome live stream 
Anyway, can't wait to see who else gets nominated and will be watching those live stream announcements 
! And fun fact, this year's nominees are looking super diverse with artists from all around the world 
I wonder if they'll still have that iconic red carpet moment where all the stars walk out in their fancy outfits... it always gets me so hyped!
