The 2026 Grammy Awards nominations were officially announced on Friday. Notably, Taylor Swift and Beyoncé didn’t receive any nominations this year — but it was no snub. None of the artists released new music during the eligibility period, so they were not eligible for consideration.
What is the GRAMMY eligibility cutoff for 2026?
The eligibility period for the 2026 Grammy Awards will run from August 31, 2024 to August 30, 2025. Only music released within these dates is eligible for nomination.
