Plaqueboymax was livestreaming from the GRAMMYs 2026 red carpet this year after receiving his first ever nomination. As you might expect, things got a little silly.
He was nominated for "Victory Lap" with fred again... and Skepta in the Best Electronic & Dance Recording category. It might sound like a joke, but the nomination speaks to Max's warp-speed ascent in 2025 from Twitch streamer to pop culture mainstay, even if listeners and critics remain somewhat skeptical. (Personally, I think he should have been nominated last year for "Cooln" with Nino Paid and Babychiefdoit).
Max, fred, and Skepta ultimately didn't win; the award instead went to "End of Summer" by Tame Impala. Max took the loss with good humor, saying on stream, "No rigged comments, you feel me? N***as won fair and square... It happens." It's Kevin Parker's second GRAMMY after winning in the same category last year for "Neverender."
