Lady Gaga’s “Abracadabra” won the Grammy for Best Dance Pop Recording at the 2026 Grammy Awards (68th ceremony, held February 1, 2026).

The announcement came from PopBase on X, showing Gaga in a white lace dress alongside the Grammy logo. Since she wasn't present at the ceremony (her producers read a prepared note on her behalf), the win was revealed during the Premiere Ceremony portion.The nominated tracks in this category included:
  • “Abracadabra” – Lady Gaga (winner)
  • “Bluest Flame” – Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco
  • “Midnight Sun” – Zara Larsson
  • “Just Keep Watching” (from F1 The Movie) – Tate McRae
  • “Illegal” – PinkPantheress
Fan reactions on X were mixed:
  • Many Gaga fans celebrated the win, with comments like “CONGRATS LADY GAGA” and predictions of a bigger “sweep” for her that night (her album Mayhem was also a strong contender in other categories).
  • Others expressed disappointment, feeling artists like Zara Larsson (“Midnight Sun”), PinkPantheress (“Illegal”), or Tate McRae were overlooked. Common sentiments included “the Grammys are a joke,” “Zara so sorry but happy for Gaga,” and “I love Gaga but she didn’t deserve that.”
“Abracadabra” (from her 2025 album Mayhem) has been a massive hit, with strong streaming numbers, cultural impact, and comparisons to her classic pop era. Gaga was absent from the event due to touring commitments (The Mayhem Ball), but the track also won in the Best Remixed Recording category for its Gesaffelstein remix.Overall, it was a big night for pop and dance music, though the category sparked passionate debates among fans of the other nominees. Congrats to Gaga on the win! 🎉
