Cher may have wanted to turn back time on her rather chaotic Grammys presenting experience. But the pop legend’s obvious good humor made her flubs one of the most meme-worthy moments of the night.

Host Trevor Noah presented Cher, 79, with the Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award during the Sunday, Feb. 1, ceremony. After delivering her acceptance speech, Cher walked off stage prematurely, forgetting that she was slated to announce Record of the Year.

Things took a bit of a Travolta-esque turn when Cher was called on to announce the winner of Record Of The Year.

Cher made a surprise appearance at the Grammys - her first in 18 years - to receive a lifetime achievement award, and then to present record of the year. And while it was great to see the singer, her link was messier than a night out with Charli XCX.

Cher accidentally announced a dead singer as a Grammy Awards winner during Sunday’s ceremony. She was presenting one of the night’s top prizes, Record of the Year, and said “Luther Vandross,” who died in 2005.

"You want a bit of anarchy..."

While Cher didn't appear in-person at the event, she received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2026 Grammys the next day, which created confusion

Here are the red carpet hits and misses from music's biggest night.
