The 2026 Grammy Awards have wrapped up, delivering a night packed with major fashion moments, makeup looks destined to be copied, unforgettable live performances, and a few delightfully awkward presenter cameos. (We love you, Cher!)

If you missed the live broadcast, don’t worry—we’ve gathered all the key moments so you can catch up before chatting with coworkers. Here are the five moments that defined the 2026 Grammys:

Unapologetically pro-immigrant speeches
From artists like Kehlani, Bon Iver, and the Biebers wearing “ICE OUT” pins on the red carpet to Bad Bunny and Billie Eilish using their acceptance speeches to condemn ICE’s violence, the music industry made its support for immigrant communities loud and clear throughout the ceremony.

Justin Bieber performing in his boxers
Bieber returned to the Grammys stage after four years, performing his song “Yukon” in characteristically irreverent style—wearing only silk boxers and playing a purple guitar. When you have that much vocal talent, who needs extra frills?

Sabrina Carpenter’s high-production performance
Carpenter’s rendition of “Manchild” turned air travel into something fun, as she performed mostly atop a luggage cart in a pilot-inspired, all-white outfit (sans pants). Her immersive set was followed by equally creative performances from Tyler, the Creator and Lady Gaga, proving that a little stagecraft goes a long way.

Lola Young and Olivia Dean’s first-time winner joy
“I don’t know what I’m going to say because I didn’t prepare a speech!” Young charmingly exclaimed while accepting her award for best pop solo performance. Equally heartwarming, Olivia Dean burst into tears upon winning best new artist, reminding even jaded viewers of the magic of seeing newcomers break into the music industry.

The expansive In Memoriam segment
The past year brought significant losses to the music world, from Ozzy Osbourne to Roberta Flack and D’Angelo. Seeing Reba McEntire, Brandy Clark, and Lukas Nelson honor their legacies—joined by special guests like Ms. Lauryn Hill, Post Malone, and members of Guns N’ Roses—was a poignant highlight of the evening.
