Kendrick Lamar was the big winner at the 2026 Grammy Awards, picking up a total of five trophies – see the complete list of winners below.
Lamar had gone into the night leading the nominations with nine, and ran out with Record Of The Year for his SZA collaboration ‘Luther’, as well as all four rap-specific categories, thanks to his sixth album ‘GNX’.
His nine nominations had put him two places ahead of Lady Gaga, Jack Antonoff and producer Cirkut, who all sat on seven.
Other major winners were Bad Bunny, who won Album Of The Year for ‘DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS’, Billie Eilish, who claimed Song Of The Year for ‘Wildflower’, and Olivia Dean, who won the prestigious Best New Artist prize.
It was also a night of significant political protest, with Bad Bunny giving a fiery anti-ICE speech from the stage, and Eilish and Dean among the others to use the platform to speak out against the Trump administration.
