Olivia Dean just won Best New Artist at the 2026 Grammys. Right before Chappell Roan presented the UK soul-pop singer with her award, she and fellow nominees Addison Rae, Alex Warren, Katseye, Leon Thomas, Lola Young, the Marías, and Sombr performed a medley of their respective hits from all over the Crypto.com Arena.

The Marías opened up the medley with a portion of "No One Noticed" from their Album Of The Week-honored Submarine. From the venue's loading area, Addison Rae did a dance-heavy rendition "Fame Is A Gun, " which transitioned straight into Katseye's backstage-to-onstage "Gnarly." From the center B-stage, Leon Thomas did "Mutt" from his eponymous album, which is nominated for Album Of The Year and Best R&B Album. Then Alex Warren walked through the audience singing his smash "Ordinary," eventually getting lifted above them on a floating platform. Lola Young, who recently returned from a performing hiatus, turned "Messy" into a piano ballad, before Dean did her viral hit "Man I Need." Sombr closed out the medley with a glitzy performance of "12 to 12." See clips below.
