The official nominations list for the 2026 Grammy Awards<\/a> proves the ceremony will certainly be one to remember.<\/p>\n

A lineup of former Grammy winners, nominees and special guests \u2014 including Sabrina Carpenter<\/strong>, Chappell Roan<\/strong>, Doechii<\/strong>, Karol G<\/strong>, Lizzo<\/strong>, Sam Smith<\/strong>, and Mumford & Sons \u2014 announced the 2026 nominees for the 95 categories during a Friday, November 7, livestream.<\/p>\n

The nominations included two new categories this year: Best Album Cover and Best Traditional Country Album. According to the Recording Academy, the Best Album Cover category \u201crecognizes excellence in cover art for albums of recordings in any genre of music and honors the art directors whose craft shapes a record\u2019s story and vision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the former Best Country Album category has been renamed Best Contemporary Country Album, while a new Best Traditional Country Album category \u2014 which adheres to \u201cmore traditional sound structures of the country genre,\u201d using instruments such as fiddle, banjo, mandolin and the like \u2014 has been added.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tWinning a Grammy Award is the pinnacle of many musicians\u2019 careers. While artists such as Beyonc\u00e9 and Jay-Z have broken records with their Grammy wins over the years, others haven\u2019t been awarded just yet. Several celebrities have been nominated by the Recording Academy over a dozen times but have never walked away with a trophy. [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Earlier this year, the move to split the country category was met with some backlash from fans who believed the Recording Academy did so due to Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s<\/strong> 2025 win for Best Country Album<\/a>. However, Shelly Maree<\/strong>, an awards manager at the Recording Academy, claimed in an interview published on Monday, November 3, that the change had already been coming for three years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been hearing from artists for a long time,\u201d Maree told MusicRow<\/em><\/a>. \u201cThey didn\u2019t feel fully reflected in the categories as they stood, neither in the existing country categories nor in the American Roots field. So this came from them: the creators, the voting members. It\u2019s been in the works for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2026 Grammy Awards are set to take place on Sunday, February 1, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The broadcast will air live on CBS and Paramount+.<\/p>\n
