The 2026 Grammy Awards event was hit with chaos after Cher made awkward mistakes onstage.
At the star-studded musical night of the high-profile annual Grammys, the 79-year-old legendary American singer and actress left the audience confused with her embarrassing slip-ups while announcing the winner for Record of the Year.
After accepting her Lifetime Achievement Award, the I Got You Babe singer was supposed to announce the nominees for 2026 Grammys Record of the Year.
However, the songstress left the stage following her winning speech, prompting host Trevor Noah to call her back on stage to announce the nominees.
“Before you go, Cher, could I get you to announce the nominees? I could do it but it’s not the same. I don’t have the track record,” said Noah.
Returning to the stage with a big smile on her face, Cher hilariously reacted to her mistake, saying, “You can see I wanted to get off the stage.”
The After All singer then announced the nominees that included Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, Doechii, Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar and SZA, Chappell Roan and Rosé and Bruno Mars.
However, her mistakes did not just end there, as Cher made another blunder by announcing a wrong name, Luther Vandross – late American R&B and soul singer, songwriter, and record producer.
Supposed to announce Luther by Kendrick Lamar and SZA, Cher made an awkward slip-up, proclaiming, "And the Grammy goes to Luther Vandross!"
As the camera focused on Kendrick Lamar, the songstress corrected herself, announcing, “Kendrick, no! Kendrick Lamar!”

Meanwhile, a third supported Cher, saying, “You’re an icon and an American treasure, you can mess up any presentation you want Cher!”
