Ahead of the 68th Annual Grammy Awards on February 1, 2026, executive producer Ben Winston has shut down rumours that Taylor Swift will perform (or be part of the show). He said the speculation took off after HITS Daily Double floated the idea, calling the report unfounded and noting it was amplified once picked up widely online.
How the Rumour Started
Talk of a Swift performance gained traction after an item in HITS suggested she could appear on the broadcast. Winston stressed there has been no official basis for that claim in the show’s confirmed planning.

While Swift is not expected to be part of the 2026 telecast, the show has confirmed a strong performance slate—most notably a special segment featuring all eight Best New Artist nominees, including Olivia Dean, sombr, Leon Thomas, and others.
Hosting
Trevor Noah is set to return as host for the 2026 ceremony.
