Overview
- Winston told HITS that talk of a Taylor Swift performance or appearance was invented by HITS Daily Double and then widely recirculated.
- The Recording Academy lists Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Dean, SOMBR, Leon Thomas, and the Marías as confirmed performers for the Feb. 1 ceremony.
- Trevor Noah is set to host, with presenters including Doechii and Harry Styles, according to the Academy’s announcements.
- Swift is not nominated this year because The Life of a Showgirl was released on October 3, 2025, outside the Aug. 31, 2024–Aug. 30, 2025 eligibility window.
- The album will be eligible for the 2027 Grammys, and Winston did not explicitly rule out Swift attending this year’s show.
