2026 Grammy Awards: Performers, Presenters & Taylor Swift's Alleged Attendance

The 2026 Grammys are almost here, and producers have revealed so much about who will attend the awards show this year. Some top nominees for 2026 include Addison Rae, Olivia Dean, and Katseye.

Last year's show saw record-breaking moments like Beyoncé finally winning Album of the Year and Charli XCX taking the stage after over a decade in the industry. This year's show is gearing up to be just as iconic.

Who Is Hosting The 2026 Grammy Awards?

Trevor Noah will return as the 2026 Grammy host on February 1, 2026, for the sixth consecutive year. The comedian and former host of The Daily Show began hosting in 2021 and did so well with audiences that CBS brought him back every year since.

Who Is Performing At The 2026 Grammys?

The 2026 Grammys will see the biggest artists of the last year take the stage for performances. For the second year in a row, Sabrina Carpenter will perform. The "Manchild" singer released her breakout album Short n' Sweet in 2024 and won a few awards at the 2025 ceremony.

In August 2025, she released her album Man's Best Friend, making her eligible for this year's ceremony too. The star will likely perform "Manchild," and possibly another viral hit from her album.

Carpenter will be joined by breakout pop star and former TikToker Addison Rae, Alex Warren, who had a huge year with his #1 song "Ordinary," hip-hop duo Clipse, viral sensation Kateye, singer-songwriter Leon Thomas III, breakout star Olivia Dean, industry legend Pharrell Williams, Gen Z's newest icon, Sombr, and indie group, The Marías.

Who Is Presenting At The 2026 Grammys?

The Grammys have only revealed two presenters so far, but they are certainly exciting enough to hold everyone over until producers reveal more names. Doechii will be presenting, after one of the most talked about performances at last year's show and after taking home Best Rap Album, as only the third female artist to do so.

Harry Styles will also be presenting, after officially announcing his comeback on January 15. Styles last attended the Grammys in 2023, where he took home the highly coveted Album of the Year for his 2022 album Harry's House. The star announced his fourth solo album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally will be out on March 6.

He also released the lead single, "Aperture," on January 21, followed by its accompanying music video. Fans, who were recently fighting for tickets for Harry Styles' Together, Together tour, will be thrilled to see him back on the Grammys stage.

Will Taylor Swift Be Attending The 2026 Grammys?

Originally, there were rumors that Taylor Swift would make an appearance at the Grammys. Swift has appeared at the show more times than she hasn't, and even presented Beyoncé with Best Country Album last year for Cowboy Carter.

Swift was also up for Album of the Year for The Tortured Poets Department, but was thrilled to see Beyoncé win the award for the first time instead. However, this year Swift isn't nominated for any awards, and as many have clarified, it's because The Life of a Showgirl, released on October 3, 2025, didn't make the cutoff.

Swift will likely see at least a few nominations at the 2027 ceremony instead. As for the alleged rumors that she'll attend this year, Grammy producer Ben Winston confirmed that the rumors are just that, rumors.

According to Winston, Swift will not perform or appear at this year's Grammys. However, there is a chance Winston's just trying to keep things under wraps, and Swift could surprise us.
