Swift did not release a statement about why she decided to skip the 2026 Grammy Awards, as of writing. However, the most likely reason for her absence was the fact that she received zero nominations. That's because Swift did not release any new music within the eligibility window.
The pop superstar released The Tortured Poets Department on April 19, 2024, and The Life of a Showgirl on Oct. 3, 2025. Unfortunately, the window for the 2026 Grammy Awards was from August 31, 2024, to August 30, 2025. Additionally, Swift was not announced as a presenter or a performer at the 2026 Grammy Awards.
Something that might have enticed Swift to attend the Grammys was to support several friends who did receive nominations. Sabrina Carpenter,Selena Gomez, Benny Blanco, and Bon Iver all received nods for 2026. This year, Carpenter was nominated in six categories, while Gomez and Blanco were nominated for Best Dance Pop Recording for "Bluest Flame," and Bon Iver was nominated for Best Alternative Music Album for SABLE, fABLE and Best Alternative Music Performance for "Everything Is Peaceful Love."
How Many Grammys Does Taylor Swift Have?
Just because she didn't snag any Grammys in 2026 doesn't mean Swift is lacking in awards. She most recently won in 2024 in the Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album categories for Midnights. In total, the "Opalite" songstress has won 14 Grammy Awards during her impressive music career.
The 2026 Grammy Awards kicked off on Sunday, Feb. 1, at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
