Pop superstar Harry Styles is set to take center stage at music’s biggest night — but this time, not as a performer. After thrilling fans with the announcement of his fourth studio album, the former One Direction heartthrob has now been confirmed as a presenter at the 68th Grammy Awards, where he will share the spotlight with rising hip-hop powerhouse Doechii.
The Recording Academy officially revealed the duo as the first confirmed presenters for the 2026 Grammys through its social media platforms, instantly igniting excitement among fans worldwide. More presenter announcements are expected in the coming days, but the decision to open the list with Styles and Doechii signals a ceremony that will celebrate both pop dominance and rap excellence — a perfect reflection of today’s genre-blending music landscape.
Harry Styles is no stranger to Grammy glory. He previously won Best Pop Solo Performance in 2021 for his chart-topping hit Watermelon Sugar. In 2023, he achieved even greater success by winning Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for Harry’s House. Now, he is preparing to usher in a new musical era with his freshly announced fourth album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. The lead single, Aperture, released on January 22, has already drawn widespread praise, while the full album is scheduled to drop on March 6 — adding even more buzz to his Grammy appearance.
Joining him on the presenter lineup is Doechii, who continues to cement her status as one of rap’s most exciting voices. She took home Best Rap Album last year for Alligator Bites Never Heal and returns this year with five major nominations for her breakout record Anxiety. Her nods include Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Music Video, Best Rap Song, and Best Rap Performance, making her one of the most nominated artists of the night.
The 68th Grammy Awards already boast a star-studded performer lineup, including Sabrina Carpenter, Clipse, and Pharrell Williams. The Recording Academy has also unveiled eight Best New Artist nominees: Addison Rae, Alex Warren, KATSEYE, Leon Thomas, Lola Young, Olivia Dean, Sombr, and The Marías — promising a showcase of fresh talent and breakout stars.
The ceremony will air live on Sunday, February 1, at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT on CBS and will stream live and on demand on Paramount+.
Returning as host is comedian Trevor Noah, who will helm the Grammys for the sixth consecutive and final time. This milestone makes him the first host since Andy Williams (1971–1977) to lead six consecutive Grammy telecasts.
With Harry Styles and Doechii kicking off presenter announcements, the countdown to music’s biggest night has officially begun.
