- Billie Eilish
- “Wildflower” is singled out as a winner among the headline categories, anchoring her 2026 Grammys presence.
* She shows up in the main pop/record fields, which are typically counted as major wins in post-show breakdowns.
- The Cure
- Win for “Alone” and for the album “Songs of a Lost World” gives them at least two Grammys this year, spanning rock performance and rock album territory.

- Nine Inch Nails (Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross)
- “As Alive as You Need Me to Be” wins a songwriting-focused category, adding to their already strong awards legacy.

How the “won so far” picture looks
- The night’s narrative is leaning toward multi‑category sweeps by a few heavy hitters (Gaga, Kendrick/SZA, The Cure) rather than one single artist completely dominating every headline category.
- Genre-wise, pop, rap, rock, R &B, gospel, reggae, and contemporary classical/new‑age all get visible wins, making this a spread-out year instead of a narrowly focused one.
- Expect post‑show discussions and forums to focus on:
- Whether Gaga’s multi-lane wins make her “Artist of the Night”.
* The continued Grammys love story with Kendrick Lamar and SZA.
* The feel‑good angle of legacy acts like The Cure still taking home new trophies in 2026.
