The 2026 Grammys kicked off with a bang courtesy of Rosé and Bruno Mars. With Billie Eilish clapping along, the singers performed an especially rocking version of their hit "APT.," which is nominated for Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year but lost Best Pop Duo/Group Performance to Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande's "Defying Gravity" from Wicked: Part 1 earlier today.

Mars recently announced his first new album in a decade, The Romantic. Its lead single "I Just Might" is the current #1 song in America. He's got a big stadium tour coming up, and this week he was revealed to be Record Store Day's 2026 ambassador. As for Rosé, she's staying busy with solo and BLACKPINK business. She's the first Korean to be nominated in the Grammys' Big Four categories.
