Predictions for the Grammys 68th edition 2026 (Mine + other news outlets)
We are less than a day from one of the biggest nights in music. This 68th edition is bringing a lot of expectation from the public. What is going to happen this Sunday night?
The biggest categories:
Record of the Year: DTMF - Bad Bunny
Album of the Year: Debí Tirar Más Fotos - Bad Bunny
Song of the Year: DTMF - Bad Bunny or Golden (from KPop Demon Hunters) — Huntr/x (Ejae, Audrey Nuna, Rei Ami)

Best Música Mexicana Album (Including Tejano): Palabra De To's [Seca] - Carín León

These are my personal predictions. Even though some of them seem biased, I tried my best to stay neutral, and many of them are not my favourite ones and some of them I have my heart divided. But overall, I am happy with all the nominees; a lot of my favourite artists are there, representing and making history.
This is what other outlets are betting on:

Bad Bunny’s halftime show playlist (Made by me, just speculation)
30 to 25 minutes and just 16 minutes max of performance is what the artists need to make history in the Super Bowl halftime show. The performers only sing segments of their music, being able to mix and play with the songs. This is my dream playlist for Super Bowl LX Halftime Show on February 8th. I am not going to name possible guests (so I don’t jinx it), but there are a few that the public cannot wait to see in California that day.
