Justin Bieber has joined the lineup of performers for the 2026 Grammy Awards. Bieber has long been a favorite of Grammy voters, with 27 nominations since the 2011 ceremony. He has four nominations this year, including his third career nod for album of the year for Swag, following nods in the category for Purpose in 2017 and the deluxe edition of Justice in 2022.

He is nominated for both best pop solo performance (“Daisies”) and best R&B performance (“Yukon”), as well as best pop vocal album for Swag. Moreover, he is the first artist to land nominations in both those performance categories in the same year since he did it in 2022 with “Anyone” for pop solo performance and “Peaches” (featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon) for R&B performance.
For all his nominations, Bieber has won just two Grammys to date, and neither was in the pop field. He won best dance recording in 2016 for “Where Are Ü Now,” a collab with Skrillex and Diplo, and best country duo/group performance in 2021 for “10,000 Hours,” a collab with Dan + Shay.
On Tuesday (Jan. 27), it was announced that Bieber co-leads the 2026 Juno Awards nominations with Tate McRae. Both artists received a career-best six nominations. Bieber has tallied 32 career Juno nominations and has won eight Junos.
Sabrina Carpenter was the first performer announced for this year’s show, followed by news that all eight best new artist nominees would perform for the second year in a row. This year’s best new artist nominees are Addison Rae, Alex Warren, KATSEYE, Leon Thomas, Lola Young, Olivia Dean, sombr and The Marías.
The third performer announcement focused on Clipse and Pharrell Williams, who share three nominations this year — album of the year for Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out (which Williams produced), best rap performance for “Chains & Whips” and best rap song for “The Birds Don’t Sing.”
