The 2026 Grammy Awards are just days away, and we are getting more information about what to expect on the biggest night of music. Hosting the awards for the last time is Trevor Noah, but he won’t be alone. The comedian will have a list of A-list presenters to help, and the first names announced are Harry Styles and Doechii.
Both Styles and Doechii are no strangers to Grammy wins. Styles took home Best Pop Solo Performance in 2021 for his Billboard Hot 100–topping hit “Watermelon Sugar,” then returned in 2023 to win Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for Harry’s House, which also debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Her hit “Anxiety” earned her five nominations, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Music Video, Best Rap Song, and Best Rap Performance – making her one of the night’s most-watched contenders.
Harry Styles rides the musical wave
Styles being named one of the first presenters hits a little differently with his next album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, occasionally due March 6th, and a 2026 Together Together world tour on the way. The One Direction star released the first single last week, “Aperture,” which earned over 12M views on YouTube in 4 days. His last album release was Harry’s House in 2022.

Ticket prices for Harry Styles’ Wembley Stadium shows in the UK started off fairly reasonable, with seated seats listed as low as $60.80, which is solid for a stadium tour.
But that price range didn’t stay grounded for long. According to The Hollywood Reporter, some seats eventually surged to $642.76, turning a night at Wembley into a serious splurge. Hundreds and thousands of fans waited in line for hours before seeing the prices and took to social media, furious, even calling for a boycott.
His last tour, the 2023 Love on Tour, grossed over $600 million.
Who else is taking the stage

Sabrina Carpenter is set to take the stage while heading into the night as one of its most nominated artists. The two-time Grammy winner is up for six awards, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance for “Manchild,” plus Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for Man’s Best Friend, along with a nod for Best Music Video.
Hip-hop heavyweights Clipse and Pharrell Williams are also confirmed performers. Clipse earned five nominations this year, including Album of the Year and Best Rap Album for Let God Sort Em Out, as well as Best Rap Performance for “Chains & Whips,” Best Rap Song for “The Birds Don’t Sing,” and Best Music Video for “So Be It.”
Pharrell, already a thirteen-time Grammy winner, is up for four awards of his own this year, including Album of the Year, Best Rap Performance, and Best Rap Song for his work on Let God Sort Em Out, plus Best Music Film for Piece By Piece.
Previously announced performers round out a lineup that leans heavily into momentum and genre crossover, including Addison Rae, Alex Warren, KATSEYE, Leon Thomas, Lola Young, Olivia Dean, SOMBR, and The Marías.
The ceremony airs Sunday, February 1, 2026, live from Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena, broadcast on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
