No, Taylor Swift did not attend the main 2026 Grammy Awards ceremony, but she was spotted at a Grammys after-party later that night.

Quick Scoop

  • Taylor Swift was absent from the 2026 Grammys show held on February 1 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
  • Fans noticed her missing from the audience, red carpet, and performance lineup, especially since she’s usually a big on-camera presence at the Grammys.
  • She had no nominations in 2026 because her album The Life of a Showgirl came out after the eligibility window, so it counts for the 2027 Grammys instead.
  • Executive producer Ben Winston had already tempered expectations in January, saying people were reading too much into rumors that she would perform or attend.
  • Later in the night, she did appear at a Grammys after-party , where she was seen mingling and celebrating, even though she skipped the televised event itself.
