Pop star Sabrina Carpenter is officially set to take the stage at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, taking place on February 1, 2026 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The Recording Academy has announced Carpenter as the first confirmed performer for this year’s telecast, marking her return to music’s biggest night following a breakthrough set at last year’s ceremony.
Carpenter’s 2026 Grammy moment comes during one of the strongest years of her career. She’s currently up for six Grammy Awards, spanning major categories including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Pop Solo Performance, and Best Music Video. Much of this attention centers on her latest project Man’s Best Friend and her hit single “Manchild,” which have helped solidify her position in pop music.
Her return to the Grammy stage underscores how quickly Carpenter has become a mainstay in the industry. At the 2025 Grammys, she not only performed but also won two awards, taking home Best Pop Solo Performance for “Espresso” and Best Pop Vocal Album for Short n’ Sweet. That success helped elevate her profile and set the stage for a strong showing in 2026.
While specific details about Carpenter’s performance set have not yet been released, fans and industry watchers alike are eager to see what the pop artist brings to the Grammy broadcast. More performers are expected to be unveiled as the show date approaches, but Carpenter’s early announcement positions her as one of the night’s highlights.
