Every year, musicians submit their work to the Grammy’s for the chance to win prestigious awards. The variety of categories give many different genres and artists a platform to be recognized. The ceremony is most commonly held in Los Angeles in the month of February. It is streamed online and on satellite, and many websites give live updates on award winners.
“I was excited to watch the winner of the Best New Artist award,” said senior Lizzy Malan sharing what she was anticipating the most during the award ceremony. The nominees for Best New Artist included: Addison Rae, Alex Warren, KATSEYE, Leon Thomas, The Marías, sombr, Olivia Dean and Lola Young. Olivia Dean ended up taking home the award.
“I was so glad she won. She was my top choice,” Malan said. Another competitive category this year was Album of the Year. The nominees included: Bad Bunny, Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, Clipse, Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar, Leon Thomas and Tyler, the Creator. Bad Bunny won for his album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS,” which was the first time in Grammy history a Spanish-language album has won the top award. Bad Bunny performed many songs from this album at his Superbowl performance on Feb. 8, 2026.
Other winners included Billie Eilish for Song of the Year, Kendrick Lamar and SZA for Record of the Year and HUNTR/X for Best Song Written for Visual Media. The Grammy’s were hosted by Trevor Noah for the sixth year in a row, with him introducing many of the performers that night. This included artists such as Bruno Mars, Sabrina Carpenter and Justin Bieber. Next year, many more of Eagle High students’ favorite artists may be nominated.
