A Grammy category is created for album covers just as Sabrina Carpenter’s takes the spotlight
June 12, 2025
The Recording Academy has tweaked some of its rules for the 2026 Grammy Awards, including carving out a stand-alone category for best album cover. It came a day after Sabrina Carpenter revealed the title and release date for her new album, “Man’s Best Friend.” The image shows Carpenter kneeling on the ground while pulled by the hair. Some fans said was demeaning while others argued was satirical. That album is scheduled for release just before the eligibility window closes. Other Grammy changes include the creation of a best traditional country album category, while the existing best country album category has been renamed best contemporary country album.
