Cher might've made a mistake while presenting Kendrick Lamar and SZA with the Record of the Year award at the 2026 Grammy Awards on Sunday ... but SZA's not taking it personally.

FYI ... the "Believe" singer accidentally read out "Luther Vandross" -- before she corrected herself and named "Luther" the Record of the Year.

SZA talked with Entertainment Tonight and said she didn't mind Vandross being named by Cher ... because his energy "allowed us to win and that allowed it to be memorable." FYI -- Vandross and Cheryl Lynn's cover of "If This World Were Mine" was sampled on the track.

Bad Bunny sent fans into a frenzy with one flashy "engagement" ring at the Grammys this weekend ... but the only lucky thing he took home last night was his album trophy ... TMZ has learned.

A source familiar with the situation tells TMZ the global superstar is not engaged ... despite fans going into full detective mode after spotting a ring on that finger during the awards show.

The ring sparked speculation almost immediately online, with fans questioning whether BB had quietly proposed to a mystery lover after flashing the jewelry throughout the night. But according to our source, there’s no romantic milestone behind it.

Chappell Roan made a lot of headlines Sunday night when she walked the Grammys red carpet with her boobs on full display ... and today she claims to be surprised by the attention!

In case you missed them ... CR wore a sexy and risqué sheer red dress for the cameras on her way in to the show ... and it got noticed big time -- because, duh!

Then on Monday, the singer-songwriter claimed to be taken aback by all the attention ... posting on IG she was "giggling" because it was not "even THAT outrageous of an outfit." Sure, Jan.

Reverend Jordan Wells has been an NFL fan his whole life ... but he told us he's boycotting the Super Bowl this year -- and not because his beloved Kansas City Chiefs didn't make it ... it's because Bad Bunny's headlining the halftime show.

Wells stopped by "TMZ Live" to explain his boycott of Super Bowl LX has nothing to do with Bad Bunny singing in Spanish ... it has everything to do with the Puerto Rican superstar supposedly making himself an activist, who Wells says, is demonizing one half of the country.

Wells says ... "I expect this Super Bowl to be the most political Super Bowl we have ever seen, because of who they picked and because of how the NFL has handled that."

Turning Point USA just revealed its lineup for its own Super Bowl halftime show ... and to no one's surprise Kid Rock is on the list.

Kid Rock is a huge President Trump supporter, and he will be joined on stage by Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett.

TPUSA is calling the event "The All American Halftime Show," and it's airing on five networks, plus TPUSA's social media channels on YouTube, X, and Rumble.

1:05 PM PT -- Billie Eilish is not engaged despite the rumors and speculation online ... sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ.

Billie Eilish had another kind of ICE on her mind Grammys night ... 'cause she sent the rumor mill into overdrive with a massive ring sitting right on that engagement finger!

The star had fans fully convinced she’s ready to level up with boo Nat Wolff, with that sparkler doing all the talking as she hit Sunday night’s Grammys at L.A.’s Crypto.com Arena.

The ring was impossible to miss -- a serious rock -- and once you clocked it, there was no unseeing it.

Lola Young had a great night at the 2026 Grammy Awards ceremony ... but her slip of the tongue ended up slipping by censors.

Here's the deal ... the pop star won the award for Best Pop Solo Performance last night, and her emotions really must have caught up with her ... because she dropped an F-bomb while accepting her Grammy.

Lola admitted she didn't have anything prepared for the moment, stating ... "I don’t know what to say. Thank you so much. You can tell by my f***ing ... Sorry, sorry, sorry."

Lola ended up composing herself, and she said she was "very, very grateful" for the award.

The thing is, the F-bomb apparently made it past CBS censors on YouTube TV ... and the slip-up could mean an FCC fine's on the table, Deadline reports.

Lola wasn't the only artist who dropped a four-letter word during the Grammys ... Sabrina Carpenter got bleeped while performing "Manchild" at the awards show, and Billie Eilish did too while making a statement about ICE.

Wyclef Jean has more than 30 years in the music industry, but by the looks of it, he's still only just getting started ... he told us he's going to release an album a month, for seven months, starting in March!

He broke the news when we caught up with him Monday at LAX. He told us the 7 projects include a hip hop album, a country album, an R&B album, a jazz album ... and 3 more he's keeping mum about.

According to the legendary producer and rapper, he wants to show music fans how so much of what we listen to today originated with him.

Alex Warren had a rough time performing at the 2026 Grammy Awards ceremony Sunday night ... and he's blaming an error with his in-ear monitors for the mess-up.

ICYMI ... the songwriter, who was put up for the Best New Artist award, performed his track "Ordinary" during the broadcast -- and he was about half a beat behind for part of the song, E! News reports.

Warren tried adjusting his microphone pack while singing ... eventually pulling his in-ear monitors out.

Warren addressed the glitch on TikTok on Sunday evening ... over a layered and off-time version of "Ordinary," he wrote the caption ... "When you’re performing at the Grammys and all you hear is this in your in ears."

The singer put his head in his hands and mock-screamed in frustration.

The comments section of the post was full of support for Warren, with Trisha Paytas writing he "crushed it" on stage.

Rubi Rose is in her element, flashing those curves like it’s her full-time job ... and we’ve got the barely-there pics to back it up, plus a fun word search all about her!

The rapper went all "bad and boujee" in a silver metallic one-piece that was hanging on for dear life trying to contain those fine-tuned assets.

Last night's Grammy Awards was a nightmare for Ricky Gervais ... at least judging by his stance on political acceptance speeches.

The 5-time Golden Globe Awards host took to X Monday to complain, "They're still not listening."

The comedian shared the comment along with a quote from his final time hosting the Globes in 2020.

Celebs were lining up at the Grammys to speak out against ICE ... but Jelly Roll wanted no part of it, flat-out dodging the topic and calling himself a "dumb redneck" when asked for his take.

Fresh off winning 3 Grammys Sunday, Jelly was pressed backstage about what’s going on in the country RN, but he shut it down fast ... saying nobody should care about his opinion, especially since he hasn’t been keeping up with the news and didn’t even have a phone for 18 months at one point recently.

JR traced his disconnection from politics all the way back to his childhood ... growing up in a "drug-addict household" full of "insane pandemonium" and admitting he "didn’t even know politics were f***ing real" until landing in jail in his mid-20s.

Gracie Abrams' boyfriend Paul Mescal turns 30 today, and Gracie showered Paul with love -- and PDA -- as he parts ways with his 20s.

Check out the pics ... cleverly shielding her face from full view of the camera, a woman who looks a lot like Gracie is seen smooching with Paul in a photobooth, and full-on making out in a stadium.

As Paul and Gracie's good friend Clemmy appears to share the same birthday, Gracie combined her birthday wishes into one post.

The new full-length trailer for the long-awaited Michael Jackson biopic just dropped ... and the late legend’s nephew, Jaafar Jackson, straight-up steals the show as the new King of Pop!

The "Michael" preview pulls zero punches, charting MJ’s meteoric rise from his Jackson 5 days to full-blown icon status ... complete with messages of "love, joy and peace," moonwalking moments, and yes, even his pet chimp Bubbles.

The supporting cast also shows up strong -- Nia Long steps into the role of Michael’s mom, Katherine Jackson, while Colman Domingo takes on his notoriously tough father, Joe Jackson.

Darius Dixson walked into L.A. hotspot TAO as a 2-time Grammy winner for his song "Folded" last night ... but he told us the most important thing was his collaborator Kehlani's speech.

DIXSON told us ... "The most important artists of our time say important things when it counts, and I believe that Kehlani is just doing what she's supposed to do, and I'm gonna stand next to her, man."

ICYMI ... Kehlani went after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement head-on Sunday.

During her acceptance speech, she said, "Everybody is so powerful in this room, and together we're stronger in numbers to speak against all the injustice going on in the world right now."
