AceShowbiz - Tyler, the Creator took the spotlight at the 2026 Grammy Awards, captivating the audience with an electrifying performance that featured the tracks “Thought I Was Dead” from *Chromakopia* and “Sugar on My Tongue” from *Don't Tap the Glass*.

His set began with a dramatic entrance as he marched through the crowd, dressed in an outfit reminiscent of the *Chromakopia* album cover. The excitement built as he launched into “Thought I Was Dead,” showcasing his unique style and lyrical prowess.

The performance seamlessly transitioned into “Sugar on My Tongue,” following a quirky interlude featuring Regina King, who played a gas station attendant. As Tyler rapped from atop a striking red Ferrari, the energy in the room reached a fever pitch. Just as the performance concluded, a dramatic explosion occurred on stage, showering the audience with confetti.

This marked Tyler's return to the Grammy stage since his last appearance in 2020, when he delivered a medley from his acclaimed album, *Igor*. That year, he earned his first Grammy for Best Rap Album, and again in 2024, he took home the same award for *Call Me If You Get Lost*.

At the 2026 ceremony, Tyler was nominated for six Grammys, including Best Rap Album and Best Alternative Music Album. He also earned nominations for Best Rap Performance for “Darling, I” and Best Rap Song for “Sticky.” Earlier in the evening, he was awarded the inaugural Grammy for Best Album Cover for *Chromakopia*, further solidifying his artistic legacy.

As the night unfolded, Tyler remained in contention for Album of the Year, competing against notable artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Lady Gaga, and Justin Bieber. Stay tuned for the complete list of winners and more updates from Pitchfork's coverage of the 2026 Grammys.
