Lady Gaga is set to perform on the 2026 Grammy Awards. Gaga received seven Grammy nominations this year, a one-year record for the superstar. Her previous best mark was set in 2011, when she received six nods.

Gaga’s album MAYHEM is nominated for both album of the year and best pop vocal album. “Abracadabra” is up for record of the year, song of the year and best dance pop recording. “Disease” is nominated for best pop solo performance. And Harlequin, an album tied to her 2024 film Joker: Folie à Deux, is up for best traditional pop album.
If Gaga performs a song from MAYHEM on the telecast, it will be the first time she has performed an original song on the Grammys since she teamed with her “Shallow” collaborators Mark Ronson, Andrew Wyatt and Anthony Rossomando to deliver that power ballad at the 2019 ceremony.
In her last two Grammy performances, she performed outside material. In 2022, she delivered a pair of Cole Porter songs (“Love for Sale” and “Do I Love You”) as a tribute to Tony Bennett, with whom she had teamed on an all-Porter album. Last year, she and Bruno Mars were set to perform their smash “Die With a Smile,” but they pivoted to The Mamas & The Papas’ classic “California Dreamin’” as a way of honoring those affected by the wildfires that had devastated the Los Angeles region.
Gaga has won 14 Grammys, but she has yet to win a Grammy in a so-called Big Four category — album, record and song of the year, plus best new artist. She is one of the biggest contemporary stars who has yet to win in one of those marquee categories.
Previously announced performers on Sunday’s telecast are Addison Rae, Alex Warren, Andrew Watt, Brandy Clark, Chad Smith, Clipse, Duff McKagan, Justin Bieber, KATSEYE, Leon Thomas, Lola Young, Lukas Nelson, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Olivia Dean, Pharrell Williams, Post Malone, Reba McEntire, Sabrina Carpenter, Slash, sombr and The Marías.
The 68th annual Grammy Awards will air live on Sunday, Feb. 1, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS; it will also be available to stream live and on demand via Paramount+. Trevor Noah is set to host the show for the final time, which is also his sixth consecutive year. The comedian will be the first person to host six back-to-back Grammy telecasts since crooner Andy Williams hosted the first seven live telecasts from 1971-77.
The 2026 Grammy Awards will be produced by Fulwell Entertainment for the Recording Academy. Ben Winston, Raj Kapoor, Jesse Collins and Noah are executive producers.
Additional performers will be announced in the coming days.
