The Highs, Lows, and Whoas of the 2026 Grammys

The Premiere Ceremony, which happens before the main Grammys show, was full of amazing moments that didn’t make it onto TV. We understand CBS can’t broadcast everything, but several winners and speeches deserved recognition on the main stage. Highlights included FKA Twigs and Kehlani each winning their first Grammy, with Kehlani adding a memorable (and slightly edgy!) comment during her acceptance speech. Veteran artist Joni Mitchell also secured her 11th Grammy at age 82, and Durand Bernarr gave a touching speech thanking his parents. A father-daughter duo, Fyütch and Aura V, delivered a particularly heartwarming acceptance speech for Best Children’s Music Album. Given that the televised show wasn’t exactly short on entertainment, the producers could have easily included a couple of these moments instead of having Bruno Mars perform twice. — Hershal Pandya
