Stans, it’s time to rev your engines, ‘cos the 68th Annual Grammy Awards are just around the corner. Here’s everything you need to know if you’re watching from Down Under.
In what feels like a blink, Hollywood’s awards season for 2026 is in full throttle, with the Grammys set to take place this Monday.
In this year’s musical shebang, rap artist and icon of my life, Kendrick Lamar, leads the nomination pack with nine nods, alongside mother monster Lady Gaga with seven, and Sabrina Carpenter with six.
Alongside these fabulous artists, Bad Bunny, Chappell Roan, Addison Rae and Olivia Dean are amongst those who are up for a shiny gramophone in 2026.
