Olivia Dean, Turnstile, FKA twigs and more named winners at the 2026 Grammy Awards

It’s been a huge night in music, with the 68th Grammy Awards taking place in Los Angeles.

Among those to win big are: London soul-pop star Olivia Dean, who scooped the award for Best New Artist; Bad Bunny, whose acclaimed LP ‘DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS’ made him the first Latin artist to win Album of the Year; Billie Eilish, whose track ‘Wildflower’ was named Song of the Year; and Kendrick Lamar, whose SZA collab ‘Luther’ nabbed Record of the Year.

That win makes it the second year in a row that Kendrick’s dominated the ceremony, taking home five awards in total (including Best Rap Album for ‘GNX’). Elsewhere, Lady Gaga won Best Pop Vocal Album for ‘MAYHEM’; an emotional Lola Young got Best Pop Solo Performance (for her earworm hit ‘Messy’); FKA twigs’ ‘EUSEXUA’ was named Best Dance/Electronic Album; and ‘NEVER ENOUGH’ earned Turnstile the Best Rock Album accolade.

As well as a whole host of stellar performances - including turns from Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, Sabrina Carpenter, and Addison Rae - the night was also characterised by artists speaking out against ICE, amidst the ongoing anti-immigration enforcement protests in Minneapolis.

Accepting her award from previous winner Chappell Roan, Olivia Dean gave a powerful acceptance speech thanking her team and honouring her grandma, who came to the UK as part of the Windrush generation.

“I guess I want to say I’m here as the granddaughter of an immigrant,” she said. “I’m a product of bravery, and I think those people deserve to be celebrated. We’re nothing without each other.” Watch it for yourself below.
