Kathmandu- The music world's biggest and most prestigious awards show, the Grammy Awards 2026, is being held in Los Angeles this week. This is the 68th edition of the Grammys, where, as always, glamour, big stars, and powerful performances are sure to be seen.

From pop music's biggest names to hip-hop stars and emerging artists, all will be seen on the same stage. Like every year, this year too, fans are anticipating some moments that will forever be remembered in music history.

Along with the awards, live performances on stage will make this event even more grand. The event is taking place in Los Angeles, USA.

Viewers in the US and other countries will be able to watch it on CBS from 8pm to 11:30pm, and it will also be streamed live on Paramount Plus for premium users.

Once again, the famous comedian and host Trevor Noah will be taking the stage at the awards. But this year's show is a little more emotional and special. This is Trevor's sixth consecutive year hosting the Grammys since 2021.

This will be Noah's last hosting show at Grammys. So he will leave no stone unturned to make it a memorable one. This time, he is not only the host, but also the executive producer of the show.

Speaking of performers, some big names have been announced since the press conference on January 26. This time, the stage will feature a great mix of new and old artists.

The biggest news is that Justin Bieber is back on the Grammy stage after a long gap of almost 4 years. This will be a very emotional and happy moment for his fans.

Famous singers Harry Styles and Dochi have been confirmed as presenters so far. This year, there is a big list of young artists as well.
Rising stars like Sabrina Carpenter, Catseye, Olivia Dean, Leon Thomas, Addison Ray, Sombre, Lola Young, The Mariahs, and Alex Warren will also perform.

This year's Grammys are a battle between rappers and pop stars. Rapper Kendrick Lamar is leading the pack this year, with a total of nine nominations, including Album of the Year.

Pop icon Lady Gaga and renowned producer Jack Antonoff are both nominated in 7 categories each. In addition to these, artists like Bad Bunny and Sabrina Carpenter are also well ahead in the awards race.

This year, the organizers have made some interesting changes, which has made the competition even wider.

For the first time, a new category, 'Best Album Cover', has been added. It will honor art and design along with music.

Fortunately for country music fans, it has now been divided into two categories – ‘Best Traditional Country Album’ and ‘Best Contemporary Country Album.’ The biggest change is in the main category.

Previously, only five people were nominated in categories such as 'Record of the Year', 'Album of the Year', 'Song of the Year' and 'Best New Artist', but now 10 people will be able to compete.
