Los Angeles — On February 1, 2026, the music world turned its eyes to the 68th Annual Grammy Awards at the Crypto.com Arena, where stars gathered to celebrate the biggest achievements of the year. Among the luminaries lighting up the event was singer-songwriter Teddy Swims, who marked the evening with both a major nomination and a show-stopping fashion moment.

A Milestone Nomination

This year was especially meaningful for Swims: his critically acclaimed album I’ve Tried Everything but Therapy (Part 2) earned him a nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album — one of the night’s most competitive categories. The nod recognizes the album’s fusion of pop, R&B, soul, and genre-blending songwriting, underscoring Swims’ rise from influential online performer to mainstream Grammy contender.

Style That Turned Heads

Swims brought his signature blend of rock-inspired edge and sleek tailoring to the Grammy, opting for a custom Atelier 7474 x Maison Privée ensemble styled by Christian Stroble. The outfit which consists of a velvet denim jacket embellished with grommets and intricate chains by AROCK paired with strong leather pants was inspired by Adam Ant’s bold and edgy style. With an electric-blue lined jacket and statement SOJOS glasses, Swims cut through the crowd, distinguishing himself from the night’s many well-dressed artists.

A Night to Remember

While the winners’ list belonged to industry giants like Kendrick Lamar and Lady Gaga, Swims’ presence at the ceremony signified a defining moment in his career, a testament to how far he’s come since his breakout. His nomination and fashion statement reflected both critical acclaim and cultural buzz, solidifying his place among pop music’s dynamic voices in 2026.
