Angélique Kidjo, CeCe Winans, David Foster, Dr. Chelsey Green, Jon Batiste, Little Big Town, Lizzo, Masaki Koike, Mumford & Sons, Nicole Scherzinger and Sam Smith will also present.
With another year full of amazing music, artists who may snag a nomination for album of the year include Sabrina Carpenter for "Man's Best Friend," Lady Gaga for "Mayhem," Laufey for "A Matter of Time," Justine Bieber for "Swag" and Bad Bunny for "Debí Tirar Más Fotos."
Kendrick Lamar, who walked away with five wins at the 67th Grammy Awards for his hit song, "Not Like Us," may also be nominated for album of the year for "GNX," which was released in November 2024 and fell within the eligibility window for the 2026 Grammys (Aug. 31, 2024, through Aug. 30, 2025).
Some critics say that Olivia Dean, Alex Warren, sombr, Leon Thomas and Lola Young may be nominated for best new artist.
Since Taylor Swift's album, "The Life of a Showgirl," was released in October, it did not fall within the eligibility window for the 2026 Grammys. However, she may be nominated for the 2027 awards show.
In addition to Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé took home the trophy for album of the year for her album, "COWBOY CARTER." Roan won best new artist.
