Trevor Noah Hosting Grammys for the 6th Time—But There's a Catch
The stage is set for the 2026 Grammys.
Ahead of the Feb. 1 award show, hosted by Trevor Noah, the presenters for music’s biggest night have been revealed, including Harry Styles, Charli XCX and Chappell Roan.
And while she’s currently in her movie star era with the success of One Battle After Another, Oscar nominee Teyana Taylor will also take the stage to present, as well as Wicked’s Jeff Goldblum. Comedians will also get some airtime, with Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser and Saturday Night Live’s Marcello Hernandez set to present, too.
Of course, the evening won’t be short on musicians across genres. Karol G, Lainey Wilson, Doechii, Carole King, Q-Tip and Queen Latifah round out the presenters.
Considering it’s music’s biggest night, trust there will be some pitch perfect performances, too. All of the Best New Artist nominees (Addison Rae, KATSEYE, Alex Warren, The Marías, Leon Thomas, Sombr, Lola Young and Oliva Dean) are set to perform, as well as some seasoned vets.
Lady Gaga—who scored seven nominations this year—is set to rock out to her latest album Mayhem.
And while she was among the Best New Artist nominees last year, Sabrina Carpenter has proven she has that espresso and then some. The 26-year-old, who is nominated for Album of the Year for the second consecutive year, will also take the stage, along with Post Malone, Reba McEntire and—yes—Justin Bieber, who will return to the ceremony after a four-year hiatus.
Meanwhile, host Trevor himself will be taking the stage for his sixth and final time as host, before the show moves from CBS—who has aired the Grammys every year since 1973—to Disney-owned ABC, Hulu and Disney+ in 2027.

“I am beyond thrilled to welcome Trevor Noah back to host the Grammys for his sixth, and sadly, final time,” the show’s executive producer Ben Winston told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement Jan. 13. “He’s been the most phenomenal host of the show. He’s so smart, so funny, and such a true fan of the artists and music. His impact on the show has been truly spectacular, and we can’t wait to do it together one last time.”
And when it comes to his Grammys hosting duties, the former Daily Show host has detailed his mindset going into music’s biggest night.
“I always care what happens,” Trevor told People in January 2024. “I don’t take anything for granted, and I’m never sure that or how a joke will land. You just prepare. You hope for the best.”
The 41-year-old added, “So, I just work my ass off, try and think of the funniest things to say and ways to say them. The rest I leave to God.”
Read on to see how the 2026 Grammy nominees reacted to their nominations.

"Ever since I was a small kid, I have lived and breathed music. It has changed my life in so many ways," he continued. "This time last year, I was 19, depressed and not knowing where to turn. I wrote all of these songs on my own in my bedroom. Looking back, I am so thankful to everyone who encouraged me to keep going."
To top off his gratitude, the "Back to Friends" singer expressed love for his fanbase.
"You’re the reason I get up in the morning and keep doing this even when I’m at my lowest," he shared. "Seeing how the music impacts you means everything to me. I love you so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
