The 2026 Grammy’s just happened on February 1st, creating massive headlines with performers like Justin Bieber and Sabrina Carpenter showing off their talents, alongside many new contestants and artists yearning for a win this year; and even a special guest appearance from Cher. The show lasted over three hours with 95 awards distributed during the night..

In talk of performers, Justin Bieber himself made an all-star comeback. Justin Bieber, the American-Canadian singer and songwriter who rose to fame with hit songs like Baby and What Do You Mean? has taken a hiatus since his Justice album in 2021. However, Bieber found his place again and has since uploaded a new banger album, Swag, which has popularized all over the world; even having his song DAISES reach the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100. With that came his headlining return to the Grammy stage after four years.

“I thought his comeback was amazing!” Alyiah Remedio states, “I was so shocked to see him there though. As a true Bieber fan since I was little, it brought out a new level of excitement for me, reliving my childhood days. Seeing him back on stage was sort of nostalgic and emotional. Seeing him back up there doing what he loves and was born to do was an amazing comeback. Justin Bieber being back on stage I think truly brought a new level of excitement to the audience.” 

Stars attending the Grammy’s made multiple political statements in relation to the current Anti-Ice Movements, like Billie Eilish. So much so that the majority of the celebs were given and able to wear “Ice Out” furthering their powerful standpoints.

In relation, one person that caused massive attention this year was Bad Bunny, who just won album of the year; making him the first Latin artist to win in that category. Bad Bunny is also making headlines as he will be performing at this year’s Super Bowl LX halftime show.

Melissa Dominguez feels “he deserved it and especially now, because he is getting a lot of hate for doing the Super Bowl halftime show. But I also believe that he worked really hard and is a great American artist.” 

It is safe to say that the Grammy’s did it again, bringing us unstoppable joy with performances, and a night with memorable wins.
