2026 Grammys: 36 behind-the-scenes photos from Crypto.com Arena

People published a gallery of behind-the-scenes photos from the 68th annual Grammys telecast on Feb. 1, capturing candid moments at Crypto.com Arena that didn’t make the broadcast.

The Feb. 1 show featured major onstage moments — including Bad Bunny’s Album of the Year win and the In Memoriam tribute performances — but People’s gallery highlights what happened when the cameras were off, with stars meeting their idols and crossing genre lines.

Images show a range of backstage interactions: Queen Latifah with Lainey Wilson; Pharrell Williams with Jelly Roll; Tyla with Jon Batiste; J Balvin with Marcello Hernández; Zane Lowe hugging Chad Smith; and John Legend posing with Kirk Franklin, among others.

Other snapshots include Rosé with Bruno Mars after their opening performance of “APT,” Billie Eilish on a rare public date night with Nat Wolff, KATSEYE celebrating after their performance, Karol G with Gloria Estefan, a multi-star Nashville group photo (Brandi Carlile, Noah Kahan, Kelsea Ballerini, Reba McEntire, Lainey Wilson and more), and Jelly Roll celebrating his Best Contemporary Country Album win with friends.

People’s gallery runs 36 photos in total and offers a look at the party and conversations that unfolded backstage during the 2026 Grammys.
