Miley Cyrus stays seated as Lady Gaga wins 2026 Grammy for 'Mayhem'

At Sunday’s 2026 Grammys, Miley Cyrus, 31, remained seated and did not clap when Lady Gaga, 39, went on stage to accept the award for best vocal album for "Mayhem," Page Six reported.

The "Flowers" hitmaker, who was wearing a black leather jacket and matching pants, notably stayed in her seat while fellow nominees, including Sabrina Carpenter, stood and applauded.

Fans on social media immediately noticed the perceived snub; some defended Cyrus by pointing to a reported rift with Gaga’s producer, Andrew Watt.

Page Six noted Watt collaborated with Cyrus on the 2020 album "Plastic Hearts," and while the source said it’s unclear exactly why Cyrus and Watt are seemingly feuding, fan speculation has centered on unconfirmed rumors the pair briefly dated while making that album.

What led to the moment at the Grammys remains unclear, and no definitive explanation for the apparent tension between Cyrus and Watt has been established in the report.
