Album for <em>Mayhem<\/em>. She nabbed the trophy over Justin Bieber (<em>Swag<\/em>), Miley Cyrus (<em>Something Beautiful<\/em>), Teddy Swims (<em>I\u2019ve Tried Everything but Therapy [Part 2]<\/em>), and last year\u2019s winner, Sabrina Carpenter (<em>Man\u2019s Best Friend<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m honored to be up here,\u201d Gaga said during her acceptance speech. \u201cI\u2019ve been making music since I was a little girl, and every time I\u2019m here I still feel like I have to pinch myself. I respect everybody in this room so much. I have to say thank you first to my partner, Michael. I love you so much. You are by my side every single day in a way that I can\u2019t thank you enough for. You worked so hard with me on this record all year. So, I love you and thank you. To Andrew Watt and to Cirkut\u2014come closer! I never could have made this album without these guys. And Gesaffelstein, we are so, so grateful. I just want to say for women in music that I know sometimes when you\u2019re in the studio with a bunch of guys it can be hard. So I urge you to always listen to yourself, always fight for your ideas, fight for your songs, fight for yourself as a producer, make sure that you are heard loudly. And thank you so much for supporting me, all of you, in my craft. I believe in discipline and hard work and craftsmanship, and that\u2019s really what <em>Mayhem<\/em> is to me. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This marks Lady Gaga\u2019s second Best Pop Vocal Album win. She took home the award for <em>The Fame Monster<\/em> way back in 2011. Lady Gaga picked up six additional nods for tonight\u2019s ceremony: Album of the Year for <em>Mayhem;<\/em> Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Dance Pop Recording for \u201cAbracadabra\u201d (the last of which she won); Best Pop Solo Performance for \u201cDisease\u201d; and Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for <em>Harlequin<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>See the full winners list and follow along with all of Pitchfork\u2019s coverage of the 2026 Grammys.<\/p>\n<figure data-testid=\"IframeEmbed\" class=\"IframeEmbedWrapper-sc-ldQZQl ejqOZZ iframe-embed\">\n<div data-hasconsent=\"true\" data-testid=\"IframeEmbedContainer\" class=\"IframeEmbedContainer-hkaqNE rtPbe\">\n<div class=\"IframeEmbedAspectRatioWrapper-hLozwN bAXJOK\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p> Source URL: http:\/\/pitchfork.com\/news\/lady-gaga-wins-best-pop-vocal-album-for-mayhem-at-2026-grammys\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News Lady Gaga Wins Best Pop Vocal Album for Mayhem at 2026 Grammys The pop titan beat out Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, and more for the award right after her \u201cAbracadabra\u201d performance By Walden Green February 1, 2026 Lady Gaga, photo by Christopher Polk\/Billboard via Getty Images Lady Gaga has won the 2026 Grammy Award [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[226,54],"class_list":["post-1718602","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-crawlmanager","tag-pitchfork-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1718602","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1718602"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1718602\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1718602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1718602"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1718602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
