The countdown to the 2026 GRAMMY Awards is on, and one of the night’s most exciting categories is Best New Artist! This year’s lineup is stacked with fresh talent making waves across music and social media. Leading the charge is Olivia Dean, whose sophomore album ‘The Art of Loving’ soared up the charts after its September release. TikTok sensation Sombr turned viral fame into global success with hits like ‘Back to Friends’ and ‘Undressed.’ Another TikTok star, Addison Rae, earned her first GRAMMY nod after dropping her debut album ‘Addison’ in June 2025. Her former Hype House roommate Alex Warren also scored a nomination thanks to his breakout single ‘Ordinary.’ Broadway alum Leon Thomas is no stranger to the GRAMMYs. He already has one for co-writing SZA’s ‘Snooze.’ Indie favorites The Marías return to the spotlight after touring with Billie Eilish and collaborating with Selena Gomez and Bad Bunny. Rounding out the list are Lola Young, whose viral hit ‘Messy’ captivated fans, and global girl group KATSEYE, who dominated charts and starred in a viral GAP ad. Catch all these nominees during the Live from E! Stream: Spotify Best New Artists Party Jan. 29, kicking off at 11 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. PT.
