The 68th annual Grammy Awards are taking place Sunday in Los Angeles. Billie Eilish wins song of the year. Bad Bunny, Jelly Roll and Lady Gaga are among the winners. Olivia Dean has won best new artist. Kendrick Lamar won the first televised award for best rap album. That brings him to a total of 26 career Grammys, the most of any rapper. Rosé and Bruno Mars opened the 2026 Grammy Awards with an electric performance, followed by Sabrina Carpenter. Trevor Noah is hosting the main show, airing live on CBS. Many artists used their time on stage to spread a pro-immigration and anti-ICE message.
President Donald Trump has held his first Cabinet meeting of 2026, focusing on the economy, housing, energy, health initiatives and drug prices. He painted a positive picture of his administration's accomplishments, but some claims were exaggerated. Trump mentioned $18 trillion in investments, but evidence suggests this figure is inflated. The White House website lists a lower number, $9.6 trillion, which includes commitments from the Biden era. On housing, claims of a sharp rise in home sales are overstated. The National Association of Realtors reported only a 1.4% increase in December. Additionally, Trump's statements on California wildfires and water supply were inaccurate.
What can viewers expect from the 2026 Grammys? Recording Academy CEO and President Harvey Mason jr. and executive producers Raj Kapoor and Ben Winston say Sunday will be a night of celebrating music with tons of performances. The 2025 Grammy Awards had to be completely reimagined following the devastating Los Angeles-area wildfires. This year, they're able to focus on maximizing performances and spotlighting potential history-making moments. Expect up to 19 performances. There are also new categories, like best album cover. The awards will air live on CBS and stream on Paramount+.
