Donald Trump Threatens to Sue Trevor Noah Over Epstein Grammys Joke

Donald Trump Threatens to Sue Trevor Noah Over Epstein Grammys Joke

Published by Sam Flores

The president has had his feelings hurt, and he intends to do something about it. After the 68th Grammy Awards, Donald Trump took to Truth Social to lash out at host Trevor Noah over a joke the comedian made at Trump’s expense, which involved both Jeffrey Epstein and the president’s recent obsession with Greenland. In his Truth Social post, Trump called the Grammy ceremony “virtually unwatchable” and threatened legal action against Noah: “I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C.” Noah returned to host the Grammys for a sixth consecutive time on CBS. During the ceremony, Noah shared that it would be the Grammys’ last one on CBS—the event is moving to Disney+ and Hulu—and his last appearance as the show’s host as well, at least for the foreseeable future. After this disclosure, Noah exhibited a bit more of a devil-may-care attitude with his jokes, aiming one about the coveted song-of-the-year award at Trump and his well-documented relationship with deceased convicted sex offender Epstein. That prize, said Noah, …

Grammys 2026 Red Carpet: See All the Looks

Published by Sam Flores

On the Grammys 2026 red carpet, the biggest names in music hoped to strike a perfect note before the Grammys ceremony even began. From the indelible silk chiffon Versace dress that Jennifer Lopez wore to the awards in 2000 (which was such a conversation-starter that it inspired Google Image Search) to Lady Gaga arriving in an egg-like vessel created by Hussein Chalayan in 2011 to Billy Porter’s teal hat that featured its own motorized crystallized curtain in 2020, Grammys fashion remains a category all its own. On Sunday, the 68th Annual Grammy Awards took over the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. With artists such as Bad Bunny, Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, Clipse, Pusha T & Malice, Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar, Leon Thomas, and Tyler, the Creator all in the running for album of the year, the Grammys 2026 red carpet welcomed a harmony of style. Lamar, whose flared Celine jeans were a highlight of his Super Bowl Halftime performance last year, was nominated for nine Grammys. But he did more than win at the Grammys …

Bad Bunny Makes History at the Grammys 2026 With Album of the Year Win

Bad Bunny Makes History at the Grammys 2026 With Album of the Year Win

Published by Sam Flores

Bad Bunny appeared to be stunned Sunday evening when Harry Styles announced his album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, as the album of the year at the Grammys 2026. He remained seated for several long seconds, hand over his eyes, apparently overcome with emotion, before springing to his feet and heading to the stage. He turned around and saw his own face projected on the screen behind him, massive, then spun back to the crowd and flashed a thumbs-up before beginning his speech in Spanish. Bad Bunny accepts the album of the year award from Harry Styles. Frazer Harrison/Getty Images “Believe me when I say that we are much bigger than 100 by 35 [note: Puerto Rico is approximately 100 miles long by 35 miles wide], and there is nothing that we can’t accomplish,” the artist, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, said. “Thank you God, thank you to the Academy, thank you to everyone that believed in me throughout my career. [Thank you] to everyone who worked on this album, and thank you, Mom, for giving …

At the 2026 Grammys, Politics Get Personal, From Bad Bunny’s “ICE Out” to Olivia Dean’s “Bravery”

At the 2026 Grammys, Politics Get Personal, From Bad Bunny’s “ICE Out” to Olivia Dean’s “Bravery”

Published by Sam Flores

When Bad Bunny said “ICE out” while accepting a Grammy award at Sunday night’s ceremony in Los Angeles, he drew perhaps the loudest and most sustained applause line of the evening. The Puerto Rican superstar then made a personal appeal on behalf of his community. “We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans,” he said. “Hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. So please, we need to be different. If we fight we have to do it with love. We don’t hate them. We love our people. We love our family, and that’s the way to do it: With love.” It was one of several instances of the stars gathered in Los Angeles Sunday night speaking of the fraught politics of the moment in personal terms. “I’m a product of bravery,” said Olivia Dean as she accepted the award for Best New Artist. Born and bred in north London by a Jamaican-Guyanese mother and an English …

What Is Going on With Chappell Roan’s Grammys 2026 Dress?

What Is Going on With Chappell Roan’s Grammys 2026 Dress?

Published by Sam Flores

Yes, the chiffon frock was suspended from two nipple piercings. Except that, upon closer inspection, these appeared to be prosthetics applied onto Roan’s chest, and understandably so. The dress is a contemporary recreation by Castro Freitas of a haute couture set that the late Manfred Thierry Mugler showed on the runway for his eponymous label back in 1998. On that runway, the silk slip was suspended from the models’ very real nipple rings. It is a classic Mugler piece that made a splash back then, which it did once more tonight. Interestingly enough, last year, when Castro Freitas showed another iteration of the gown on his debut runway show for the label, the dress caused much backlash online and from critics. The New York Times referred to it as “out of touch,” and much of the internet labeled the design as misogynistic, without knowing, perhaps, that it was a recreation from a Mugler original. The reissue detail was mostly inconsequential. The dress did look out of place in today’s sartorial context as a remnant of …

Bad Bunny Makes Anti-ICE Acceptance Speech at the Grammys 2026

Bad Bunny Makes Anti-ICE Acceptance Speech at the Grammys 2026

Published by Sam Flores

Before the Grammys 2026 handed out a single statue, Bad Bunny had already made history at the awards show. Bad Bunny, who had three US Grammys on his shelf already, is the first Spanish-language artist ever to be nominated in the three biggest categories of the night: album of the year, record of the year, and song of the year. He scooped up five total nominations this year. In his first televised win of the night, for best música urbana album (before the show, he was also announced as the winner of best global music performance), Bad Bunny delivered a heartfelt speech criticizing ICE’s anti-immigration activities. “Before I say thanks to God, I gotta say ICE out,” he began. “We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans. Also, I will say to people, I know it’s tough to know not to hate on these days and I was thinking sometimes, we get contaminados [contaminated], I don’t know how to say that in English. Hate gets more powerful …

Justin Bieber Performs in Silk Boxers and Socks at the Grammys 2026

Justin Bieber Performs in Silk Boxers and Socks at the Grammys 2026

Published by Sam Flores

On Sunday, Justin Bieber ascended the Grammys 2026 stage, marking his return to the awards show for the first time in four years. He wore a pair of silk underpants and socks for his stripped-down performance of “Yukon,” during which his wife Hailey Bieber looked on adoringly. During the performance, the camera caught her tapping her fingers in the universal sign for, as TikTok would say, “clock it.” The last time the Canadian musician attended the annual ceremony was 2022, when he took the stage to perform an acoustic version of “Peaches” alongside Daniel Caesar and Giveon. This year, his album Swag garnered nominations for album of the year and best pop vocal album. He’s also up for best R&B performance for “Yukon” and best pop solo performance for “Daisies.” Justin Bieber channels Tom Cruise in Risky Business with his intimate Grammys 2026 performance.Kevin Winter/Getty Images Bieber walked the red carpet alongside Hailey, who last accompanied her husband to the awards show in 2022.

The 10 Best Dressed Stars at the 2026 Grammys

The 10 Best Dressed Stars at the 2026 Grammys

Published by Sam Flores

The 2026 Golden Globes red carpet emphasized Hollywood’s current tussle between embracing the contemporary, even if everyone mostly wore black and white. Some of the best dressed stars of the evening embraced Old Hollywood dress codes—sober, demure and elegant, like Selena Gomez in Chanel or Connor Storrie in Saint Laurent—playing into our collective nostalgia for the age of the pre-Instagram movie star. Others leaned into what it means to be a contemporary celebrity: Teyana Taylor’s bedazzled Schiaparelli whale tail was the talk of the night, as were Timothée Chalamet’s Timberland boots. It should not be a surprise that they both took home awards that night. A similar tension was on display at the Grammys. In an age in which viral TikTok influencers can rise to earn nominations for Best New Artist, as is the case of Addison Rae and Alex Warren, two VF staffer favorites, as you might have seen on our live blog from the evening, what do contemporary music stars even wear today? The former seems to have a clear idea, wearing a …

Hailey and Justin Bieber Wear “Ice Out” Pins at the Grammys 2026

Published by Sam Flores

The Canadian pop star is nominated in four categories, including album of the year, for Swag, an album with songs like “Daisies,” “Walking Away,” and “Go Baby,” which nod toward Bieber’s married life with the Rhode founder. The couple wed in a 2018 civil ceremony, then threw a star-studded 2019 wedding in South Carolina before welcoming their son, Jack Blues, in August 2024. Bieber last took the Grammys stage in 2022, when his album Justice was nominated for album of the year, among other awards. He might have gone home empty-handed that night, but Bieber lit up the venue with a dynamic performance of “Peaches” alongside collaborators Giveon and Daniel Caesar. The 2026 Grammys serve as something of a test run for Bieber, who, after making a handful of guest appearances at Coachella during performances by pals Chance the Rapper and Ariana Grande, will headline the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April.

Rufus Wainwright accepts a Grammy on behalf of the Dalai Lama (Image: Getty) The 68th annual Grammy Awards are taking place Sunday and spirits were immediately high after a historic win. The Dalai Lama won his first Grammy for audio book, narration and storytelling recording, beating out Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson – he was not present but the award was accepted by Rufus Wainwright on his behalf. “I am not the Dalai Lama,” Rufus Wainwright joked in an acceptance speech. “It was a privilege to participate on this project.” “Golden” from “KPop Demon Hunters” won song written for visual media at the Premiere Ceremony, marking the first time a K-pop act has won a Grammy. Songwriters delivered their acceptance speech in both English and Korean, highlighting the song’s bilingual appeal. Music film went to “Music for John Williams,” which means director Steven Spielberg has officially won his first Grammy. That makes him an EGOT winner — an artist with an Emmy, Grammy, Tony and Oscar. The Premiere Ceremony, a pre-telecast show held at the …
