The performance comes one year after Carpenter delivered one of the most talked-about sets at the 2025 ceremony, where she drew praise for a Goldie Hawn–inspired production featuring her breakout singles “Espresso” and “Please Please Please.” That appearance helped cement her status as one of pop music’s most consistent hitmakers.
Beyond her upcoming performance, Carpenter is also among the most-nominated artists at this year’s Grammys. She is in contention for six awards, including Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for Man’s Best Friend. Her hit single “Manchild” earned nominations for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Music Video.
Carpenter is no stranger to Grammy success. At the 2025 ceremony, she took home two awards: Best Pop Solo Performance for “Espresso” and Best Pop Vocal Album for Short n’ Sweet.
With her return to the Grammy stage now confirmed, anticipation is building for what the singer will deliver next. The Recording Academy is expected to announce additional performers for the 2026 ceremony in the coming days.
