So, while her 12th studio album won't have a presence at the 2026 Grammy Awards on Feb. 1, The Life of a Showgirl is eligible to be nominated for next year's ceremony, so there's a shot that Taylor could add to her haul of 14 Grammys in 2027.
Instead, her "Bad Blood" collaborator Kendrick Lamar leads the pack of nominees this year with nine total nominations, including Album of the Year for GNX. With that nod in particular, he made history as the first rapper in history to be nominated in that category five times as a lead artist.
The "Not Like Us" hitmaker's haul was followed closely by Lady Gaga with seven and Bad Bunny and Sabrina Carpenter who notched six nods each.
Meanwhile, another way this year's nominations made Grammys history is with ROSÉ and Bruno Mars' nods for Record of the Year and Song of the Year for their track "APT.," which made the Blackpink singer the first K-pop artist to receive a nomination as a main performer for one of the top four Grammy awards—which also includes Album of the Year and Best New Artist.
The 2026 Grammys ceremony will air live on CBS on Sunday, Feb. 1, from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
